Work Troubles

I was recently at work and I have to call the customers and tell them we have some free offers and then ask them if they interested.

Most of the time I get the voicemail, which is perfect since I am like the awkward penguin.

                                                          

Well, I recently called a person and he said that he didn't want it, because he wasn't treated right and then proceeded to tell me how he has tried to tell managers and what not. The phone call was already awkward and he just made it even more weird. All I could say was that I was sorry, which then spurred him on to say that "that is all you ever say and that is all that is going to be done."

What do you want me to say?!?!?

So I just kept saying sorry, to which he said, "this is as far as it going to go huh, sweep it under the rug, don't listen to the criticism."

Again I repeat, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO!?!?! I am the low man on the totem pole, I cannot do anything. I just kept saying sorry and then said to have a good day and hung up.

The guy was obviously not going to take the free offer since he didn't like us, so I didn't offer him anything else and I hung up.

It was an experience, but I have to remember that I will never meet this man, so I don't really care. Oh well..

Ecology

My biology class recently changed professors and materials, resulting in my class learning about ecology from a British professor. It is so interesting! I really like it. I have to register for my spring classes and I am considering taking an ecology or zoology class.

I also really like my teacher. He has an accent and he is from Britain! So its really nice to hear him speak. This is not a crush on my teacher or anything, just his accent and it makes me happy to hear it, since I love British accents.

In class we are learning about the wildebeest and why they migrate. Since we can't go and take a field trip to Africa, we have to settle with watching videos in class. Totally fine with me! The videos are interesting and we get to see other animals too, so it is just a really fun class.

Hello again!

Hello!

It has been a while hasn't it...

It's just that school is so busy, and I would rather get homework done and get a good grade, then not do it, if you know what I mean.

I will definitely try to keep up with it, but no promises.
