But I like the money

The downside is that it pauses everything about your program. Just stops it dead with barely any indication what's going on.
Guess who got called in on the first day of a three day weekend to troubleshoot why "the application just stopped working". With a kicker that the person who fucked up and left something highlighted the first time did it again like 20 minutes after I showed them what was wrong. Luckily I hadn't left yet.
I was talking to the person next to me in training and she brought up board games and I mentioned how I play board games with friends and we ended up exchanging phone numbers because she wants more people to play board games with but I'm a very awkward person and I didn't know what to do when she asked to exchanged numbers so I just did but I don't really want to hang out with her because I don't want people at work knowing how shitty my depression or anxiety can get. I feel like an ass but I don't think I've ever hung out with someone from work for this reason.
This is just causing more anxiety.
It keeps getting worse as time goes on tonight. I can't stop thinking about it.

This was Mike and Jerry during one of the PA Q&As. The question was about how rich they are. The response was if they were ever rich enough to not need to work a day in their life, we'd never see them again. Not a goodbye post or anything. Just ghosts
I would be a ghost if I did not need the money but then I would also move far away from here
I am learning a lot about student loan lending and such. Discover has a pretty helpful site for finding scholarships, calculating stuff, 8 different kinds of student loans, and bunch of other stuff.
The job doesn't seem too hard so far, there is a lot of information to take in and the system they work with is very different that the one we used in collections so I just need to learn to navigate that stuff.
In class I'm having an extremely easy time with the roleplay and practicing the customer care/needs stuff. It definitely helped that getting better at that stuff is what I spent most of my time in collections at Discover being coached on. The woman I'm sitting next to (the one I exchanged numbers with and then had a ton of anxiety about) keeps "jokingly" saying she feels a little jealous that I'm able to just say this stuff with such ease and that I sound like the trainers.
I do try to help and give advice so I hope I'm being helpful.

you should play board games with this person
i've had this problem too and it's like - anxiety is extremely hard to deal with, and sometimes you have to acknowledge that there's things you can't do, but other times you have to move out of your comfort zones and try to move past it
When I worked at a casino in Scottsdale just out of the Corps. There was a group of people in the table games that was playing a group lotto, One week they won I don't know how much as this is where is gets murky and into the land of speculation. She comes in one weekend into the lunch room saying to the clic of people they won hands out $20 to each and congratulations to each. Later that week she quits and disappears. I heard a month later everything from it was 100k to 10M they won and she was nary to be found. How they were SOL because she paid them part of the share.
Well it doesn't help when you create a larp character for work and drop it for various things thus creating a bigger problem and questions
Eh, everyone's broken, better to hang out at least once to see if it's fun than never try and ensure depression gets all the attention.
Email from On High: "Policy Change y'all. Your supply base is now forbidden from using [service] as of six days ago."
Cue six days of my department requesting clarification and instructions on how to comply with a new process that no one actually designed, with all the relevant stakeholders disclaiming any responsibility for it. Dept A says run it through Dept B, Dept B says it's out of scope, fuck off.
Let's just make a sweeping change without asking anyone what the effects would be at the ground level. Cool, cool.
I actually break kayfabe often and use it as a funny hook to relate to newish acquaintances:
See- SVP work me, when asked how I know so much about nerd shit, sports stats and world news responding “I spend 5 hours a day shitposting with a buncha people on a forum hosted on a website about two dudes who make a 20-year-old webcomic about video games that I haven’t read in 15 years”
Oh jeez, yes, this. I hate making phone calls for exactly this reason. At least with an email I can rewrite it several times so it's nice and concise, but you can't rewrite your mouth.
I can't handle this much job
Good times.
I keep telling myself that if I'm ever fuckoff rich I'd still do a job I find fun without caring about the paycheck... but I'm not so sure.
two weeks in and it sounds like things are going great!
We submitted orders for one case each of 32 items from the same vendor
The logistics system sent pickup requests for 32 pallets, one case on each
Nothing to see here, move along
The new client site is pretty much a smaller version of Site Duchess.
However, we will get chewed out because a massive security flaw right inside the vehicle entrance......just like Duchess.
Its almost like our clients are getting the same idiotic designs from the same drunken idiot.
Or maybe said idiot is actually helping thieves by designing massive security flaws in their buildings.
Its the perfect scheme....that needs 2 years to get built and filled with chumps paying rent.

Great, now I'm anxious
Also I'm now the only supervisor because one demoted himself and the other is out with a kidney infection.
I think I hate someone for the first time in my life.

My old helpdesk job I always looked forward to the two Saturdays a year we were open and I’d always work them myself. It was always dead and I’d just read and play Dwarf Fortress.
I’m here tonight because I’m waiting for our car to be serviced while family has pool time. Dealership provided fresh cookies, coffee. It’s a 90 minute vacation.
And of course the exam had a question asking us the steps of higher order thinking skills from lowest top highest. I filled all five blanks with "This was not the purpose of this class and was not on our text nor listed as curriculum on the syllabus"
That'll teach her to not put a character limit.
