And it's Friday! Woot! One more day until a little breaky break that we call the weekend. That's good, because I've been working my ass off this week. Yesterday I took 47 calls, which is pretty good. It would have been more, but at 5pm, people just stop calling. Everyone assumes that we close at 4:30, so the calls completely die off. Up until then, yesterday was super busy. Every time I put my phone in "ready" I immediately got a call. Most of the people were very nice, so that helped. It doesn't hurt that I use my warmest, kindest customer service voice. I have spent years perfecting it, and it's pretty effective. My trainer likes it, apparently. She said that I sound sincere, like nothing will fulfill my life more then to schedule your mammogram. Which is kind of what I'm trying to convey, so it's good that it's coming through.
Yesterday, they sent out something about the checks being delayed. They were supposed to be here on Friday, but mine did finally come in around 3pm yesterday, so that was nice. It was here in plenty of time for our date night.
For date night, we went to the Local, which was excellent. I had crab soup, then we had short rib french dip bao buns. Then I had the dayboat scallops, and Jess had the short rib. Everything was excellent, but I definitely need another bao. They were super messy, with a horseradish sauce and sautéed onions over slow cooked short ribs with a nice savory au jus dipping sauce. Very tasty and a little spicy from the horseradish. I immediately dripped horseradish on my shirt. Not really a shock.
Today, we have another day full of calls, and game tonight! Game is a wee bit challening after working til 5:30, since I only get an hour and a half to take a deep breath, recover and get ready to talk some more. I'm sure when my schedule switches to 9:30am-6pm, it'll be even more difficult, but I'll manage. I enjoy playing too much not to. Besides, hopefully I won't stay on that schedule for too long. They indicated that I could go earlier pretty quickly.
Dad continues to have issues, and I'm not sure which way he's going to go. He could either perk up and be fine, or he could go downhill. I'm leaning towards a visit to the land of grippy socks, but I don't know. It could go either way. I really hate it when we're in this situation. The constant anxiety is just exhausting, trying to decide if he's bad enough to send to the ER, worrying about every little noise. I hate it.
Tomorrow, I have lunch with a friend from 911, which should be a lot of fun. She's very much a broad, and a lot of fun to hang out with.
I put in our $$ to go to our work bowling event. Johns Hopkins is paying for the prime time lane rental, we're just putting in $20 for food. Jess agreed to go with me, so they'll get to actually meet my new coworkers with me. It's at a swanky bowling alley downtown, and we have a ton of appetizers that they're getting.
Okay, now I shall go forth and get something to eat. And maybe put on some pants. Everyone have an amazing Friday!
