It's closer than I thought
So appearently I have to be at school on the 13th- that's only like two weeks and a day! I was like, "woah...". Appearently summer '05 comming to an end closer than I thought.
The most annoying part of this whole thing, though, has to be the packing. I just unpacked my stuff three months ago, and now I have to do it all over again! Stupid personal belongings.
Ooh, I got another set of 100%'s on my QA scores yesterday at work, so I'm pretty much set to be paid 13/hr again for the next paycheck. Or the one after that, I can't remember how it works. The crazy part about this one was that instead of buddyjacking (the QA person plugs their headset into the jack along w/ yours and listens next to you) they monitered me from the QA room- I was getting scored and I didn't even know it! I felt a huge amount of relief when the told me I got good scores anyway, because I was starting to freak out, because obviously when I'm not being watched I'm not the most perfect as I am when they're next to me, scoring me.
Well, anyway.
Vacation's almost upon me! We're leaving for the Big Mac later today, and meeting up with a bunch of relatives there. Good stuff!

but J.K Rowling rocks.
Can't wait for the 4th book to be out in movie form in November!

Broken promises and pay raises!
Hey, everyone! Yeah, yeah, didn't post about the 4th of July like I promised. Sorry about that. Basicly, to boil it down a bit, lots of fireworks were involved.
Appearently my family and some extended family of ours are all going out to camp out over at Lake McConaughy. Sounds like fun.
So yeah, the way things work at West, there's a Quality Assurance team that listens to your calls on occasion and scores you based on what they hear. There's a set of guidelines you have to follow and things you have to say on a call, and QA makes sure you're doing/saying them. The cool part that is, depending upon your QA scores, you could get temporary pay raises on your checks ("temporary" because what your raise is depends upon your averaged score for that pay period; if you get a bad score for a period, you'll get paid less). And dude- I got a $5/hr raise! I'll be paid $13/hr on my next paycheck on Friday! Pretty good, huh?
Sweet. Now I can get that computer.

Happy 4th of July, everyone! I'll make a longer post about what all I've done to celebrate later; right now I'm sorta in a hurry.
Enjoy the fireworks!
