new beginnings,,,again

i did it today. i walked into headset hell and turned my head set and swipey/loser card in to a supervisor. matt was sad to see me go, but i told him that the stress level was a lot less since i have been on my LOA, away from the main cause, my supe m the inferior.  the other issues that have been ongoing, like the scent reduced policy that they never enforce, was another deciding factor. further to that, my doctor has been advising me for months to seek other gainful employment.

with that, i have found a new path, a courier driver job with a reputable company here in f'ton. i start the next chapter of my life this tuesday. although it is a job where i need to use our own vehicle, the pay that is potentially there for me to make will more than adequately pay for maintenance, fuel and so on.  i will be an independant contractor, and as such, will be able to claim many expenses. that works for me. i have run my own business before and i can do it again.  the good thing about this one is that the drivers get paid every friday morning promptly at 8am. that works for me. driver takes home 75% of the weeks' earnings. i will need to create a savings account for taxes, so i don't get too heavily screwed come tax time. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa meeeeeeeeeeee!

so the co workers i liked are sorry to see me go, but glad that i have something new to go to. as my faithfuls as my witnesses,,,i , poet, do hereby promise to NEVER, ever, EVER seek employment at another call centre in this life or my next one.   (which won't be too hard, since in my next life, i am coming back as a cat, who lives with an independantly wealthy crazy lady.)

i am still trying to sell some furniture, i did put ads up on my facebook page marketplace, had a couple of inquiries, but no one has showed up to actually buy the stuff. hmph.

with this new job that i am beginning, i am pretty sure we will be able to get ahead on our bills again, as well as pay down those nasty but necessary credit cards.  may even be able to buy some new furniture for my bedroom. that would be nice. i am looking at pine sets, nothing like dangling a carrot, eh?

just wanted to touch base with you all, and let you know what has been filling my time with of late. the decision to leave abcc was not an easy one. but the stress i have in my life is only compounded by trying to work there too. i did tell the supervisor i spoke with the two main reasons were the latest supe, m, and the never enforced scent reduced policy. office politics being what they are, i am just the one who doesn't get her way,,,and doesn't know when to shut up. so fuck 'em. the sad part, i s that the job is easy, and there was benefits to be made from there. and another seasoned agent hits the dusty trail away from abcc yfc. 

and i am doing the happy dance. 

oh and still with happy dances, we finally got us a shed. thank you mom for buying it for us. now all we need to do it do the sorting of keep/donate/toss and then fill 'er up! that is my task for this long weekend.

have a good holiday weekend everyone. stay safe! love poet
