    Default Type faster you slow bugger!

    I'm extremely frustrated at myself. I'm currently trying to do a typing test for a company I want to work for. It's audio typing which means I have to listen to an audio file and try to type it out. What I've since learned is that this sucks hard. It's taken me an hour just to do five minutes of audio. The worst part of it is you have to write down EVERYTHING that's said. Every little word, even if it's stuttered repeatedly, you have to write it down. Considering I'm meant to be getting hour-long audio files if I start work, and about £12.50 per hour, that's something like £1/hr I'll be earning. I'm very frustrated at myself because I know I'm a fast typer, I just find it insanely difficult to do this audio typing thing. It's the only job that got back to me for any kind of interview, because every other job I've applied for has denied me an interview because of medical issues (i.e. my anxiety disorder).

    What's been frustrating you recently?

    I went to the hairdressers this afternoon to get my haircut and dyed. They told me my appointment isn't until next Monday, although they told me it was this Monday on the phone. That was frustrating.

    also! I keep forgetting to take my holiday form to work. I must remember on Wednesday.

    Not being able to find the 80 gig PS3 bundle and having to settle for the 40 gig one. And the fact that I'll magically find one tomorrow and have to try to return my 40 gig if I want it.

    My mother. I honest to god hope she dies painfully in a fire.
    The messenger is standing at the gate
    Ready to let go
    Ready for the crush
    Too late for whispers
    Too late for the blush
    The past is mercy
    When the future is aglow

    Still practicing my voice. I really wanted that call center job badly. Good luck on me. I know I could do it, I just get too tensed when I'm with face-to-face conversations.

    I have to quit my job at Gamestop today, and I hate quitting jobs, I feel so awkward and guilty.

    I think you're being too hard on yourself. You aren't a stenographer and shouldn't think to be able to function at that level.

    I have cramps D= and Alan doesn't come home from work for about 30-60 minutes yet =[ Also the fact that Alan and I thought we had the visa thing down, but now that we want to get married, we have to find out even MORE about the visas. And we can't until he visits the Citizen's Advice Bureau. And since he works, it's hard for him to find time to get there. And waiting to go back home is PAINFUL. And every minute more I have to spend here with my parents (a mom who smothers, a dad who's turning into a skullskullskullskullhead who slammed his son's head into the dishwasher repeatedly because he wouldn't listen to him and various other violent things and emotional abuse and such), I go even crazier.

    Then again, now that mom sees how dad is towards me, she's more eager to send me back to Alan, to keep me safe, so mom's out of that equation.

    Even so...Everything else makes me want to...

    My computer is being a bitch and refusing to load certain programs correctly, MSN being a prime example.

    I want to go with my friend at the end of the week when he moves to New York, but I'm not sure if it's going to work out
    (he's one of my closest friends, I'm not really sure when I'll be able to see him again, so yeah)

    Aw, that's too bad.

    I'm not sure how many work hours I have at my job this summer, which is kinda frustrating. I just want to literally (not really) work my ass off, and earn as much money as humanly possible!
