ich roque (what an idiotic title for an entry and a song!)
2004-06-25
i survived the first part of the apprenticeship now. i will never ever have to go to the bloody BBi again, i will never ever have to endure the presence of the boss idiot for longer than a few hours again and i will never ever have to have her judge me again. well, she can still order me into her office to give me some sort of memo or whatever but i'm determined not to give her a reason to make me talk to her anymore.
today, i felt the urge to say really rude things to people way too often. there are so many things that i wanna tell people that would be really horrible. of course, they are kind of true but i know i'd also find myself regretting them pretty soon. oh well...people will just have to do without knowing my truth. who cares anyway?
BUT i finally managed to pay for my AFI video. stupid paypal! on their site, it says that if you register a bank account, they will just withdraw the money from there. but nothing was happening. so today, i more or less accidentally checked an old mailbox which i had forgotten i had registered with paypal and found an email from them saying i had to transfer the money to their account for them to forward it to the person. yeah, right, MAYBE i would explain it that way on the site, too... *major roll eyes for them* and then they gave another sign of stupidity. in the email it said "total amount in EUR:" and afterwards it had the price in US$. and below it said i should *only* transfer the amount "in euro" but the one "which was listed in the email". uh...can you see the question mark above my head? so i had to call in (and it's a bloody 0180-hotline which leads you through a loooong menu before letting you listen to their great "please hold the line"-music and costs a fortune) and ask what the hell they wanted from me and whether i could just use the amount from my account site or whether i needed to convert the amount again for an up-to-date amount. *even more eye rolling* and though it's such a bloody expensive hotline, they have a horrible quality. you could hardly understand the woman on the other side and during the first few seconds, i wasn't even sure whether she was talking or not. bah. customer care doesn't seem to be one of their strengths.
ok, and while we're being rude again...does anyone else think that matt damon bears a scary resemblance to frankenstein? i'm serious. look at the shape of his head!
this kind of made me happy today. but then she gave us this last idiotic taste which was to choose a place/department where we want to spend the last practical experience ever. but of course, she started it about 10 minutes before we went home, so i kind of rushed into a pretty crap decision. i chose a fookin' POS (point of sales) again. argh. and my second choice was a call center which is kind of ok-ish but still stupid. it doesn't really matter all that much because i'll only be there for a few weeks and during those weeks, i'll be mainly busy with getting stuff for the finals together. but it was still a stupid choice and i don't know what on earth i was thinking. i could call her again to tell her i changed my mind but that would be just as dumb because it's not true. yeah, so, i don't want to go there but i don't want to go anywhere else, either. or at least i don't know where i would want to go. and she'd give me this long rant about how it's not fair to let me change things and blah.
ash - oh yeah
