dustinprewittI might be wrong, but I think I may be starting to enjoy work...
The other day, the powers that be decided to take me off the phones early and do floor support for all the bright new trainees. It was nice having not only a sense of power and control, but also to know that I was helping someone feel less overwhelmed on their first days of being bitched at over the phone...
People have always said that I would make a good teacher, which I cannot say that I entirely agree with... I am far too lacking in patience to teach any group anything... but I certainly do not mind one-on-one sessions with people... I suppose thats why Im so interested in librarianship... I do not have to teach anyone, but at least I can provide a gateway to learning for the general public, point them in the right direction, and let them learn for themselves...
The powers that be have also implied that I may be eligible for a promotion to workforce management, which means that I get to sit in a dark office all day, watch stats, and determine how many people we need to work during certain times of the day, etc. Not only would I not have to talk to idiots over phones, but also it would give me pleanty of number and math scenarios to keep my mind sharp. And mostly certainly, I can assume that it would pay better... Oh joy...
I stoped by the library the other day. I still miss the place, actualy. Ive been considering going back, but there is somewhat of a sour history in one or two incidences there. Who knows... maybe its been long enough. But then again, Im not sure if I could work for the same flaming pervert again... But still also, my body may be at T-Mobile, but my heart remains at the Wichita Public Library. They have positions there available too, but also, almost everyone I knew there is gone. All the people I liked have left, and most of the people I disliked are still there. But that for another time, another place I suppose...
lol.. and if Im going to become a pariah because Im the only person in this city who has the guts to stand up for himself and not let himself be pushed around and stabbed in the back, then it is Wichita that is going to loose my respect far before Wichita looses its respect for me...
I love my city... its just the people and the autocrats who run it I hate...
Dont Believe the Hype...
I found a pleasant surprise today in the used CD shops... White Stripe's Elephant and Apocalyptica's Inquisition Symphony. Ive been looking for those CDs FOREVER for a used price (Im avoiding buying used due to my oppostion of the RIAA)
Listen to Seven Nation Army. See if you can spot the irony in the song. Pay attention, there will be a test on this...

The TRUEST irony in that song is...(short story)
When i lived in Lawrence I was on the radio, KJHK, student radio. Just as my career was rolling to an end my cohorts on the air had discovered this (very college radio oriented) band called the white stripes. My DJ partner Quixote and some of my good friends really sang praises for this band. I remember feeling like I'd missed something about the band and I even recall finally growing to like them. Now, as a DJ I pride myself on the ability to find the next new sound and to really understand the trends of listening... In Lawrence, right around this time of the discovery of the White Stripes I started thinking I must be getting too old and started considering finding an audience that NEEDED me and also one that wasn't so much of a stressor...I moved to wichita, out of that opera... INTO THIS TRAGEDY.
