Attention ladies and gentlemen. Here is an important announcement from your friendly neighborhood Jordan.

I have a new pet peeve!

Yes, I don't have many things that INSTANTLY aggravate me, but I just realized a new one.

The new pet peeve is: Stupid nicknames!

Actually, nicknames in general officially piss me off. So, if you want to be my friend, and don't want to leave...

I got a call from my sis today, informing me that her husband, Mike, is leaving her for another woman. Soon, my sister will be a twice-divorced mother-of-three, and a struggling writer to boot.

My heart bleeds for my sister.

Guys suck.

So naturally the day after I talk about how great my telemarketing job is, they find a way to piss me off. Due to a clerical error, a good 15% of my paycheck (that wasn't supposed to) grew wings and ascended into the federal government. The problem has been (I think) solved and, granted, I am supposed to see that missing money again <b>someday</b>, but...

A shocking turn of events: I am beginning to enjoy my telemarketing job. This is the third day in a row I have broken commission and the second day in a row I've made over $10.00 an hour.

Another bonus is I've made a new friend at this job. Mr. Ben Crosby. He is the guy who trained me, and he apparently he comes from...
