Like a dark tornado that can save them from drowning

Sloanchris The last few days have been kind of crappy.  Not only have I been sick, but I've been at the level of sickness where one is expected to just carry on and walk it off as it where.  Add to that a stressful day of work the other day where a bunch of stuff piled up and landed on my head at once, though not literally, and I felt like throwing a chair through a window and escaping to the wild.  On top of that a warning light came on in my car saying one of my run flat tires was punctured.

Work was only modulated by the good news that last Monday someone in the store had scored 100% on our mystery shop.  Rogers hires people to pretend to be customers and rates the service in our stores.  Our stores give $250 to people who score above 90% in a mystery shop.  The only trouble is that since both Sean and I were in that day nobody knows who it was.  Though the mystery shop form said the sales rep was well groomed and since I'm on my way to developing Chris Murphy hair (see picture to the left) I joked that it probably wasn't me so I think I may have screwed myself out of any chance of getting the cash.

Either was it was a spot of good news.  The run flat tire situation also turned out not to be as tragic as it seemed at first.  The tire which each cost about $600 or $700 were able to be fixed by the people who my family usually buys tires from for a cost of about $35.


Now today I'm stressed again.  I cocked up on a customer's phone, and he's coming in today.  I was supposed to send it off for service but I set it aside and it never got sent and now it's a bit over a month later.  So it's understandable that he's not happy, and he wasn't happy about it before since he'd just got the phone back from Motorola's service centre like a week or two before.

Having said that I'm going home tonight and vegging out on hours and hours of World of Warcraft.  I want my paladin character to hit level 30 tonight, and I should be able to do it if I can complete a few quests.

I know, I'm a total dork.
