The ties that bind you.

Thursday was Hat and Tie Day in the office. What the hell do I do then?! I mean, do I wear one, two, none, all of them?

Solution:

My tie is wearing a tie.

What has happened since last time? My housemate has gotten into a fight with a turkish pimp (regular thursday), I've gone back to training at work, and gotten my ass handed to me in a pub quiz. My accent is getting irish, at least the sayings are starting to slip in. What's the crack? Yeah, that's grand. Happy days, mate!

It's a bit of a shame that I'm back in training - thursday, I got a reply from a customer I'd helped. They claimed that I was a genius who should get a raise, and that they had other issues currently being handled by other agents, that they wanted me to help them with instead. I felt very honored, but... Given I'm in training, and not handling any calls or emails right now, there's not much I can do.

Training is fun, as well (trainer is great, he actually makes me want to learn more about it all), as we can try out the products we'll help people with - the Ultimate Ears headphones Logitech sells are ridiculously expensive. We're talking Rockstar salary price on the expensive ones, the site doesn't even list the price. If you have to ask, you can't afford them.

A free trial for me... Two Steps From Hell is awesome that way. The German girl who just happened to have that band on her phone made the day that much better. She's been there for a while, but wanted to get moved to the Logitech branch, which I think is a good thing - while tough at times, it's worth it. Who else do we have? A few people I started with here, great people I've partied with, and the new recruits are nice as well, from all over the world. An unsual amount of germans. We're all having a good time while the remaining swedes - we're supposed to be 6 working, but right now, 2 working, 2 sick, 1 on leave and me - toil away and do their best with all of this. The newest guy has been working for 1 week now, I feel sorry for the amount of work he gets already. I'll be back to helping them in 2 weeks, though.

Then the week after that, my mom's supposed to be visiting. Will be fun showing her around. :D Belfast has plenty to offer for just a weekend - nice people, the Titanic Museum, Game of Thrones set, booze, more booze...

Feels like I've missed something, so expect more updates within a week. Bye mates!
