Are you kidding me?

How dare you call ME for a product, you dumb old woman and act like a jerk!
Are you serious? You want to know if there is a AAA or senior discount on a fucking pair of TWEEZERS you saw on TV? Unbelieveable!
Sometimes I wish I could reach through the phone and strangle people.

Oh, and the wrong number calls! If you dial the wrong number, and I tell you it's the wrong number, why do you ask me what the number is that you want to call? How do I know?
I DON'T!


So maybe working from home isn't the best. I mean, I love rolling out of bed and working in my PJs. I like being home with the dogs, not having a boss looking over my shoulder.
But the people that call! Every day I am amazed.
But I could never go back to an office now! I can't deal with catty women and office politics. Working from home makes me feel like I have control... and I do. I can work the schedule I pick (which is still 8-5 anyway!)...

I'm so confused on what I want to do in life.
Look at me, living with my husband at my parent's house...
We can't get our house sold, I'm in cramped quarters and surrounded by clutter!
I'd love to know why JD and I just can't be happy with what we have.
Nothing is really wrong with the house, besides the fact it's too small and could implode at any given moment.
I always want something better... bigger house, better car, more money, expensive things.
I can't settle.
That would be my biggest nightmare. To just settle for the hand I've been dealt.

Someday I will have my pottery business up and running.
I will sell one of my photographs.
BarkArt Studio will be a business, whether it thrives or not.
All I want to do is be outside with my dogs (and hubby), travel, take pictures and spends hours editing them! Is that too much to ask? Oh, and have time for pottery, too.

I just can't seem to get out of this rut I'm stuck in: mentally, physically, emotionally.
My ideas and dreams... I can see them "on the horizon".
I just can't get there!


Blah. I'm going to edit photos and post them on here later.

I think I'm turning Japanese...

Actually, I think I'm becoming ignorant.
I talk to a lot of really horrible people each day.
White trash, uneducated people, rude kids and TONS of perverts.

I really am losing hope in the human race.
The more I work customer service, the harder it is to see the "good" ones through the ridiculously weird ones.

I talk to stereotypes everyday.

However, there are a few gems once in awhile.
Someone who doesn't mind that I have to offer 15 upsells, or an elderly gentleman who is full of sincere compliments.

I can tell right off the bat if I have a bitch on the line or if it is someone that I can really converse with, in a more personal way. I long for the day when bored housewives stop watching infomercials. Stop calling with your 14 kids screaming in the background.

How do people not know their own zipcode?

Sorry, no, I don't speak Spanish, I speak English, why don't you?

Would it kill you to infuse some personality into your voice?

And for fucks sake, unless you want to be on the phone with me for a half hour, order it on the internet!!!

Lucy and Thor

My babies...

Lucy (9mos, Boston Terrier mix) and Thor (6yrs, LabDaneX).

Lucy is my Prozac and will be featured the most.

She is my favorite subject for photos.

Lucy has the Boston Terrier personality down to a T... she's also my "velcro dog".

I treat her like my child and to me, she is not "just a dog"!
