Yesterday I just had a terrible evening...so much so that I went to sit by the window. I was at my most saddest and two special friends just seemed to be there; didn't give advice; didn't judge me, didn't tell me how I need to 'get over'...simply listened and told me how much I mean to them; told me how I truly am 'family' to them. While it made me cry harder, it felt good to know that I have someone to lean on and just be there for me not only when I am at my best but also at my worst.

Had a craptastic day at work today. I answer phones for a financial institution and people were just rude. I actually said thank you to someone after she gave me an answer and she replied, "Don't try to be polite to me, cut the sh!t and don't thank me" I was stunned, and just said, ok, I won't say it again.

Then I screwed up a memo that I was to send out. There was a confusing piece of information that I had to decipher and I got 90% of it right and checked with someone on the last piece of information. She assured me I was right and I sent the memo out (at least it was only to five other people) But those five jumped on me that it was all wrong, etc. It was just craptastic!

Thank God it's the weekend

^^^Tishy, I am sorry to hear that folks were being so rude to you. I had some doozies myself while on the phone...I had one woman one time tell me that I shouldn't say the word "okay" because it wasn't 'Okay" I finally asked her "Well what do you want me to say then since you won't let anyone say anything to try to make you feel at ease?" I guess that stunned her cause she hung up the phone.

If you want to PM me you know what to do :)

Thanks Venus. I should be used to it by now....my client who will remain nameless sucks and the people who work there are just impossibly rude to us.

You kow, I had a dream the other night Venus with you, Roman and Daysfan in it. Not that I know who any of you look like, but you were random people in my dream and I was calling you by your screennames. I was on a ranch or something and you three were there. It was odd. Lately I have been having the strangest dreams

^^Was it one of those instances where you dream about the last few people that you may have had contact with? :)

I have dreams like that all the time....I dream about some my online friends too, especially after I have ended my evening talking to them shortly before going to bed.

I've been doing things via phone for so long that I am deprogrammed to the rudeness at times... But there are times where I will put a caller in 'check' when I think they have crossed the line with me...i do it so slyly that the supervisor doesn't know I'm going off on the customer; but the customer does.

Tishy, this may seem silly but I am honored to be in your dreams or at least one! A ranch? I don't usually go to them nowdays but Roman seems like a ranch type of guy.....

I've been IMing all the people who are online on AIM, LOL. I am just so excited because the weekend is finally HERE!!!!!!!!!!! :)

    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.

    • Yes. We should absolutely move on from John/Drake's 40 year legacy on the show to see what Leo is going to do tomorrow.  Lol.  This can't be a serious post.
