I give disclaimers because I once made the mistake of driving after a couple beers. I waited several hours to drive after drinking too, but I still got myself a DUI. I've detailed the event in another thread, but basically it is really easy to get a DUI, especially if you are a small person. I know a lot of people who think nothing of driving after two beers, but that could easily put a smaller person over the legal limit, thus I tend to get preachy about driving after drinking, because DUIs are a complete pain in the ass. I had to work full time for a few months to pay off the huge fines and fees associated with a drunk driving ticket. That's actually why I got the job that ironically drives me to drinking.
what's this about hating your job? when you're bored enough to describe it, i'd love to hear a little about it, but i don't want to torture you now.
I am a customer service representative for Verizon Wireless. When people have problems with their cell phones, they call us. I get yelled at a lot for things that are not my fault.
I WEAR A HEADSET.

Oh, you spent four hours downloading games at $3 a pop and now you want to know why your bill is so high?
Your kid sent 7000 text messages last month?
Your dog got a hold of your phone and somehow bought eight ringtones?
NOT MY FAULT. Please, do not yell at me because I can't credit your account for something YOU DID.
If anything, I have learned to not let things affect me personally. Also my call center serves the south region, so I inevitably get called "darlin'" at least once a day by someone whose problem I could actually solve. Basically, while this is an incredibly whiny post, I am generally not that unhappy with my life. I actually consider myself a pretty fortunate person. Everyone has shit to deal with, but not everyone has my family and friends, who are fucking great.
Damnit, I really need some sleep. I am supposed to be waking up in about three and a half hours, but I'm not tired. I finally resorted to whiskey in an attempt to induce sleepiness, but it failed. FAILED.
