Small Small World

My friends and I met a new guy recently and he's trying to get to know one of my friends. We we're hanging out and as it turns out he's my 2nd degree cousin. His paternal grandfather and my maternal grandfather are brothers. A few years ago in a similar way I also met a 2nd degree cousin of mine. Our paternal granfathers are brothers. And a few years prior to that I also met another paternal 2nd cousin at a summer camp. Now, I can't begin to imagine how many otherm 2nd cousins I have.

I know I've been amiss with updating but I've been busy. Haven't been getting enough sleep lately. Anyway, I've finally uploaded my nephews pictures. Look at the little tyke...so cute!!!!!!! I know I know I'm a proud auntie. Afterall he's my first nephew.

he's still a day old in this pic.

I know I haven't blogged in a bit. There's not much to blog about my mundane life. Been busy with work. Got to meet some new friends and got to know some people at work. Got to know who my friends are and got to know some who aren't my friends. Nothing out of the ordinary really.

I guess I'm changing in a way. Not sure how much and where I'm heading. I had a major haircut a few weeks ago. Another big changed is I dyed my hair a week ago. Something I've never done before.  My hair is growing fast. I feel like I want to have it cut again. I also feel different as a person but I have yet to know what is different.

Work is fun. I'm doing customer service for a credit card company. For the most part I can keep my cool but there really are those people who will try patience which I don't have a lot of. Can't help but lose my control half the time when I talk to racist people. I especially hate that woman who said "I don't want to talk to some idiot in a foreign country. I want to talk to an American agent." I could almost literally see her veins coming out of her neck while on the phone. Another incident was not a racist but someone who kept on cussing the company and even at me for charging her finances charges and still having a balance on her credit card when she overpaid and even had a refund check sent to her. It's not our fault that she requested a refund check sent to her via the automated system before the finance charges got posted on her account. She won't listen to explanation and just kept on shouting. WTH!

On another side of things there really are nice customers that I really wish I will be able to help them but unfortunately there's nothing I can do for them. Sometimes when I think they deserve it I even go about leading them to asking me for something so that I can give it to them. So word of advice peeps "be nice to the person you're talking to"
