Has it ever occurred to anyone that sometimes people do crazy things but when you do the exact same thing, it's considered normal? I guess crazy depends on your point of view. If they are not doing what you're doing, it's crazy. If they are doing something worse than you are, they're an idiot. So you're pretty much stuck in between. But I'm sure the other person thinks the same way as you are.

I'll be driving down the highway back to Hamilton. I usually stay in the slow lane going at 100km/h. Every now and then I would have to switch over to the middle lane because the driver in front of me is going too slow. The slow drivers don't bother me too much. I know they're just obeying the law. As I'm passing the slow driver, the car in the fast lane speeds by me going somewhere around 150km/h. As that driver passes me, I'm thinking to myself, "He must be crazy going that fast." I look down at the speedometer and notices that I'm going relatively the same speed. He's in the fast lane doing 150 while I'm doing 120 to pass the car in the slow lane. I'm thinking the guy in the fast lane is crazy for going that fast but the car in the slow lane probably thinks that I'm crazy for going as fast as I am.

I've been pretty busy with work that I totally forgot my page here on Blogger. I've been so focused on my site that I haven't even written here since I reactivate the account. I tell you, the older you get, the faster time seems to fly. This week alone flew by like nothing. It's already Friday night. I don't want to do anything because I'm just exhausted from work. Not that I do much there anyway. I won't be able to go out tomorrow night either because I'm stuck doing the graveyard shift, like most weekend.

This last month, I've just been trying to get things settled in at the new job. So far, it's not too bad. I'm starting to understand my basic tasks and I have no problem completing them. If the work doesn't get done during my shift, it was because I was busy dealing with other stuff.

When you work in a company that deals with international clients, the timing is never right. I tried to work with some of them but I have to wait until I'm on nights to get a hold of them. Once I get a hold of them, sometimes the language barrier gets in the way. I have a hard time understanding some of them because of their thick accents. And what makes it harder is that they try to sound very sophisticated. But what they don't know is that they are using the wrong term.

Recently, one of the clients complained about this telephone service. He said that there is this bizarre "tooting" on the line. My first impression of "tooting" was that someone on the other line picked up the phone and farted. As he is trying to explain the situation, he keeps saying "tooting" and I can't help it but laugh. It's a good thing he couldn't hear me.

And then there are those clients who like to complain about the service. No matter how good it is for everyone else, they feel the need to nit pick and find the bad stuff. And no matter how much we try to help them, they never appreciate it. One client wanted to cancel his control with the company. Although he is a pain to deal with, he is also one of the top clients so we have to try and deal with him the best we can. The problem may not be on our end but we have to say it is and try to fix it for him.

And finally, you have the good clients, the one that don't complain when their service is down. They just kindly inform us of the problem and we get to work. I like dealing with those clients because they don't put any pressure on you to get the work done. They're not always on your back asking for an update on the trouble ticket. For these clients, I will anything to the best of my abilities. Even if it means that I have to drop what I was doing with the other big shot.

But anyway, that's enough out of me. It's Friday night and I don't want to keep on ranting. I think I'm going to call it a night.
