  so yesterday i went Christmas shopping and I've got pretty much everyone done. I still have to buy something for my dad and my stepfather though. men are hard to buy for. I may have a few ideas though... I used my $15 dollar gift certificate to urlLink Best Buy that I got at the office Christmas party to get a little pair of speakers that I can plug into my MiniDisc player (well, I used $11 dollars of it) so I can listen to my music at work. Rock. I'm so happy that I can sit here and listen to good music. I've got urlLink HOTD playing now (but that's not a surprise to anyone, is it?).
They rock. I'm so bored at work today. Everyone in my department is apparently really swamped, but I've got nothing to do. This is because I'm the new girl and they're only throwing the simple claims at me right now. And, since they have no time to teach me what I need to know to start handling the more difficult claims, I'm not sure when this boredom will end... My supervisor is going to be out next Thurs and Fri, and I'm thinking those are going to be really boring days for me. I'm probably just going to sit here. Ugh. But, I know that this lack of crap to do isn't going to last very long, and I'm going to be overwhelmed soon, so I guess I should just enjoy it while it lasts.
So I don't understand why some of my people aren't returning my calls. Hey, I'm just trying to pay them some money here so that they can get their cars fixed. I mean, if someone was calling me leaving messages saying that they're trying to send me a check, I'd call 'em back and at least leave a voicemail... speaking of, my voicemail is just so gay. i did it kind of in a hurry one day and i think i just sound so stupid on it. but i'm too lazy to change it.
i like mess up a few words and just sound generally retarded.. ah well... so some guy that i was taking a first report of a claim from earlier said, "can i have a hug? " when I asked him if there was anything else I could do for him. weirdo. I've talked to a few weirdos already, and I've only been here like 2 weeks. I talked to one guy last week who kept calling me babe, and then when i asked him to do something, he said "yes dear. " i was all skeeved out. I mean, ew, I didn't even know this guy. and then when I told him of a $200 deductable on his policy that he was apparently unaware of he said, "my agent's a tool.
" i didn't know how to respond to that. i was like, "um, yeah... ok, well is there anything else i can do for you today? " and he said "no thank you dear" (ew) and i told him to have a nice day and hung up. of course he was from downstate.
from the island. all the wierdos and rude people are from the island. beh. bored. i took an online typing test at urlLink typingtest.com and my best time so far is 68 wpm with 98% accuracy.
rock.
I'm going to try some more and up my score... wow, i'm hella bored. but at least all of management just went out to lunch so i can sit here and do nothing and goof off and not feel so bad...
