ladydoujiWell it's somewhat of a mixed bag so let's see how it goes
First off, update on the cats. Chester is doing much much MUCH better at my place. He doesn't hide, uses the litter box, is very affectionate towards me, his skin problem is clearing up and his fur is growing back. Basically he's going back to the cat I used to know him as, hell he's even begging me for potato chips like he used to. Chester and Carrie still aren't buddies, but it's still too soon for that.
Second I am quickly getting annoyed with my art teacher. Maybe I'm just being overly picky but it's gets really annoying when you have a peice critiqued and the only comments are stuff you've already noticed yourself(but didn't want to bother redoing the entire damn thing since it was done in ink) And turn in the sketchbook assignment and get NOTHING but a number grade back. Nothing saying what works and what doesn't and what needs to be improved on. Nada. And then while working on the next sketchbook assignment to be told "You need to knuckledown and get serious. This is drawing two" Really?!!! I can barely tell. I'm not getting the sort of instruction I was expecting for an "advanced drawing class" >_< And please tell me why ALL out main assignments have to be 19x24? I hate lugging that pad around and there's NO WAY I'm leaving it in the art room. *sigh*
Third Why can't people admit to their mistakes and own up to them? I had a guy call in today complaining about 660$ in insufficient funds service fees charged to his account. Now I would be pretty upset too but this guy quickly lost ALL my sympathy. Why? Well this was the second time he had called in about it, and looking over his account he had already recieved a 420$ NSF fee refund as a 1-TIME courtesy. The most recent fees had already been looked over by a supervisor who determined that it was not because of a mistake by the bank nor because of fraud on the account. The reason for ALL those charges is because the guy kept writing checks BEFORE wire transfers came into his account. (btw technically writing checks when the money is not in your account regardless when it is supposed to come in is illegal) What's worse is he kept going on and on about how he USED to be a vice-president for the bank and how our customer service had gone downhill blah blah blah Guy has wire transfers coming in every month between 8000-10000 dollars but can't balance his checkbook enough to prevent overdraft fees? GHAAAA!! Guy finally hung up, I added another note saying that I had refused the refund(just like the supervisor before me) Later I checked his account again and lo and behold he had called AGAIN and had been refused AGAIN! HAHAHAHA
Forth: Because I wanted to end this one a good note. I recently posted for an internet email banker position. Got a call from staffing wanting an interveiw I go in tomorrow at 8:30 am. What this means, more money and hopefully less direct interaction with customers. WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! I sooooooooo want this job.
