Tonight, we gonna dance in the moonlight
And we have AC again! Thankfully, they got here early and fixed it. Our tech was really sweet, and checked it over thoroughly. Our compressor may need to be replaced in a few years, but there wasn't a whole lot of reasons that the interior breaker tripped. We couldn't afford it right now, but they recommended a hard start unit, which will help to prevent that from happening. So, as soon as the money comes in, we'll have that put on. It's making me deeply nervous, afraid it'll stop again, but there's absolutely nothing we can do until next week. The plus side is that with the window AC unit, it never got above 79 degrees, so I'm a little more confident.
Work yesterday was boring as fuck and a bit frustrating. I kept getting into a groove doing my Pending Returns cases only to have someone interrupt me needing help. It happened about six times. And it was mostly stuff that seemed perfectly solvable to me. Really, only two of them required my input, and that was mostly because my Staten Island counterpart works Tues-Sat. Most were just stupid things that should have been evident to the person in the case.
And yet again, I was really frustrated with my job. I know so much of the business. And they're letting it go to waste. I could be sharing it with people outside of my team, and making the call center better, but instead I'm stuck doing the same old shit, bored out of my mind. And unless something interesting comes up before I find a better paying job, they're going to lose all of that.
I really hope we're still doing exit interviews, because I have a lot to say. The thing is I like IKEA as a company. I just think the call center has gone downhill fast over the last year and a half. If I could get a job outside of the call center, I'd be thrilled.
Adding to the list of things I'm anxious about, job hunting is one of them. I've put in a ton of applications, but haven't heard anything yet. I know most of them were with the city, county or the Dept of Transportation, so they might not move very quickly, but I hate it. I'm afraid that no one will want me and I'll be stuck where I am forever. I just want something interesting that pays better than what I have now. I'm tired of being paid the same as the people who are constantly coming to ask. me questions.
I have off for today, since Dad has a doctor's appointment and I like to be able to do those. Dad's going to have a busy day. The home health aid comes in the morning to give him a nice bath, and then the doctor right afterwards.
Okay, gonna go put on pants now. Everyone have a wonderful Tuesday!
