things that drive me mental when delegating...
Me: Good morning/afternoon how may I help you?
Caller: Hi, I'm calling about the blah blah blah and I need the blah blah blah because blah blah blah [useless information that I don't need]
Me: OK, no problem I'm going to transfer your call to so-and-so, she handles all calls regarding the information you need.
Caller: Thanks.
1 minute later: phone rings
Same caller: Yeah hi I just called, the person you forwarded me to didn't pick up.
Me: did you leave a message for her so she can call you back as soon as she is available?
Same caller: No. is she even there today? is she at her desk?
Me: I'm sorry sir, she is located in a different department than I am so I can't confirm that she is at her desk but she is in today.
Same caller: Well why isn't she answering her phone then? are you sure she's there.
Me: ...
Me: Would you like to leave her a message so she can get back to you sir?
Same caller: No can't you just give me the information I need?
Me: I'm sorry sir but I don't have access to those records. it's probably best if you leave her a message, I can put you through again.
Same caller: This is bullshit [hangs up]
Me: [mentally counting 1...2...3...]
10 seconds later: phone rings
Same caller, again [snapping]: Put me through to so-and-so's voicemail.
Me: Yes sir, no problem, one moment please.
Me: [Puts call on hold for a good 2 minutes, then transfers the call to voicemail]

31* Day Challenge #31...
31. Since there are actually 31 days in January I’ve picked 5 random questions and answered them for the last day of this month.
1. myvonne asked you: When you first started on Tumblr, what expectations did you have?
I started my tumblr with the idea of it being a quasi-anonymous blog that I could post my verbal diarrhoea, share neat ideas, artists, random (mostly) ridiculous shit and feel...

Anonymous asked: Didn't you have a tattoo apprenticeship? Whatever happened to that? You haven't been posting incessantly about it, just wondering.

30 Day Challenge #30...
30. What changed this month and what you hope will happen next month.
this month: I got a job finally… two as a matter of fact. I’ve worked myself ragged and have perma-bags under my eyes. I started getting paid and chipping away at debts. I got my own place. I stopped being sad. I haven’t stopped being angry and disgusted. I got my mojo back. I got some confidence back too. I...

30 Day Challenge #28...
28. The month you were happiest this year and why.
I’m going to interpret “this year” as the last fiscal year since, for 2012, we’ve only had one month and barely at that.
In the last year the month I was happiest was July.
it was summer and it was hot out.
shorts and skirts and summer dresses.
picnics in parks and midnight pool swims.
I was in love and I had all...
