I've Been Working on the...

Telephone? It sounds dumb, when people work on the railroad they are actually building the machine, their work is the railroad itself, so if your working on the telephone, you must be someone who actually builds the phone. That's until you get into the world of phone conferencing...

No, I don't work for the phone company or actually build phones, but when I say I'm "going to work" all I'm really doing is picking up the phone and dialing a number. I could be stark naked and still get my work done, all I have to do is show up. You'd think it would be easy wouldn't you? But then you add in the work that the actual job entails...

As it turns out, I will be taking phone calls from people who need IRS tax forms. No, this does not mean I will know how to do your taxes. All that it really means is I know how to find what form you need to fill out. The rest is up to you. Again, it might sound easy, but if you go into my actual work place (the internet), and look up all the different types of forms I could be handing out, and think of how many different kinds of people, companies, and families there are in this country, and you got a big job.

Sigh...and I thought the training was going to be fun. I thought it would be filled with people who knew the internet by the back of their hands, and could fly through training. Well that's not the story in the least. These are the stupidest people I have ever met when it comes to computers. We spent half an hour trying to do one thing! Then because we were FORTY FIVE MINUTES behind schedule, we had to do homework.

So I am exhausted. I hate feeling like this, like you could just fall into bed at any given moment. It's nuts. I thought I was going to say more, but it looks like that's all I gotta say! Alright? Alright. I'll talk to everyone later!

Blessed be!
