Update

Hey everyone, (especially Mom and Dad)

Skype account’s bone dry right now so it’s going to be a while before I’m able to make another phone call.  The new OS is working great.  It’s really cool not having to pay for any software Tongue out (99.9% of all Linux software is free) and being able to do everything that expensive software for the other OS’s. 

My best friend at work (Rick), is resigning soon.  Actually, he’s already gave notice, he’s just waiting for the paperwork to go through.  He got sick of all the B.S. that goes on at my job and told the boss that with the current metrics, he could not compete without sacrificing customer service.  Which is true.  Right now, your patted on the back and given all kinds of rewards for taking the most calls and providing questionable service, whereas you’re not given squat for taking half as many very high quality calls.  Really sucks.  It’s going to be hard to work every night without him there to keep things interesting.

Anyway, every thing’s the same here.  I’m not going to leave my job right yet.  I, for some reason, still feel I can make a difference there and with all of the training I’m doing, I can.  Only problem is, I encourage one thing in training, quality, and when they hit the floor, the first thing they realize is quality isn’t nearly as important as quantity (they’re young, not stupid).

I’m off to bed now so I can get up and get my triple pay tonight (oh yah, May 1st is a holiday in China… I have no idea which one, but it’s a holiday).

P.S.  There’s a new social network out there (fairly new) called Twitter (www.twitter.com).  It’s a pretty good way to make some really good contacts as far as the job market and things like that go.  If anyone decides to sign up, you can find me at www.twitter.com/warped0ne (that’s a zero, not an ‘o’) or you can send me a message by typing @warped0ne (again, that’s a zero, not an ‘o’) followed by your message.

Later.

    Sad to hear that Rick is leaving. Would I still be able to see him before his departure?
    That website you provided, I am so going to have a look at. Anything to get me out of this HP shite.
