First of all, I must say that I'm watching (a.k.a playing in the background) Step Up 2 (I think) and it's driving me CRAZY because the girl has the exact same voice as Pensatucky from Orange is the New Black but it's not her. But it's her voice. But not her. And I'm getting a headache because it's A GIRL WITH PENSATUCKY'S VOICE! So if I write some nonsense, more than usual, you know why it is.
That said, I must say that the day today was rather irregular, but good in average. I FINALLY talked to someone for LONGER THAN TWO MINUTES in the office. It was most of it about work and such, but IT'S SOMETHING! I don't know the guy's name, or I think I do? But nice that someone tries to engage conversation with me. He even talked to me while lunch. Once again, about work stuff, but yay! He was basically helping me to make the tumblr post I've been working in look PERFECT. And it will. It's just frustrating that it's taking 3 days for a tumblr post, but all we can do is to be patient.
I have also noticed, and again it's very frustrating, that people just do things that I COULD DO myself, and actually, are among my tasks. Let's take twitter. If I'm working with the social media and promotion, I should do the tweeting and such. Well, one guy tweeted three things today right before leaving. And told me on his way out "I've tweeted a few things". THREE TWEETS IN 10 MINUTES! And I'm sitting here all day doing nothing! Why not suggesting me to do it? That made me sad... But when I was leaving, this other guy who talked to me today was also doing on the tumblr post and I asked "why didn't you tell me to do that so I would have something to do?" and he said "you'll have things to do tomorrow", so YAAAAAAAAAASHHH!!
Just to clarify, don't think that I'm a lazy bastard and sit there all day staring at the computer screen. I really, really try to find things to do, but it's a bit complicated because I don't want to disturb the other people with things I think and might be rubbish to them. I might come up with an idea of something to do, but they all seem so busy I don't want to disturb... But still, I keep trying, in case I find something super valuable that makes me a celebrity in the place... or similar.
So that was basically it, although I must mention the moment when the fire alarm went off and everybody had to leave the building, I expected it would take at least half an hour, because when that happens at the Thistles centre in Stirling, we spend a considerable amount of time outside waiting. But not today. In fact, I thought "this could help to make people talk to me, or for me to talk to them". Nope. So I just give up. It just feels so frustrating, nobody asks; nobody knows what I do for a living, they don't even know what I've studied or where I'm from! I guess they know where I'm from, yeah, it's pretty obvious, but... c'mon! Socialise!
I also tried to go to a Three store, my mobile phone company, because I can't get any calls. So I have a dual SIM phone, and if I put the UK SIM card in the slot 1, I get signal, and the calls and all that, but when I answer, I can't hear anything. Or when I call. But when I put it in slot 2, it always worked... until Tuesday, for some reason. So I go to the store:
Incompetent Guy: Can I help you?
Me: [I explain the situation]
IG: Yeah, our company can't operate in dual phones because their setting are too complicated.
Me: But it USED TO work, it just suddenly stopped.
IG: Yeah, we never guarantee anything on dual phones.
Me: I get that, but I think it's weird that it worked BEFORE and it doesn't work anymore?
IG: Like I said, it's not guaranteed. And that can happen, it worked and it doesn't work anymore.
Me: So I can't use my SIM for calls at all?
IG: You could get a new plan and get a new phone for only one SIM card
Me: But I have two cards, that's why I have a dual phone.
IG: Then get two phones [laughs]
LISTEN YOU ANNOYING T***, CHIP FACE, GREEDY C***! Look at me. Do I look like I was born yesterday? Like I don't have a brain? I'VE HAD TWO PHONES, YOU IDIOT, and that's why I have a DUAL SIM now, because it's a lot more comfortable and easy!!! You son of a fart!!! Thanks for your no-help, thanks for nothing!
In UK, I've noticed, it's a common habit to ask for reviews and opinions in retail places. We do at HMV, and we are encouraged to get more and more every week. Well, if this company asks for my opinion, I'm going to give it to them. And they're going to like it, but that guy won't.
Conclusion: I think it's just that because I'm out of Stirling, in a different area, my phone and SIM card have entered a conflict. I guess they don't like holidays together and they don't get along if we leave our cosy village. Well, GET OVER IT. This place is great and we are staying a couple of days longer. Cheers.
Seems like I'm complaining about many things, but I also like other stuff. I like the area, I like the weather (although today was cloudy, but we'll see tomorrow) and I enjoy being out of Stirling for a bit. Fresh air is good.
Done with my workout of the day, I'm going to watch The Fighter because... MARK WAHLBERG! You need any more reasons? And because writing about boxing at "work" makes me curious about all this.
Tomorrow is my cheat day: coffee and cake! And if there's nothing more remarkable, I will skip the post.
Back to you soon, people!
