So my Intro to Comp E class just now was literally just a quiz.

Convert 10001011 from binary to decimal.

Convert 24.05 from decimal to binary.

That's literally it. Literally 5 minute class, and simply by virtue of the fact I brute-forced the second one to the repeating decimal, rather than using a simpler, quicker method. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm probably going to skip my CS201 class again today.
I don't care if he takes attendance, that class is such a waste of time. I could learn everything he teaches better and faster online and I wouldn't have to sit in a cramped room full of people for 3 hours.

Alright so, plan as far as my internet (because nobody cares):
  1. Go and order AT&T on Friday
  2. Wait until a couple days before they come to set it up
  3. Call my current ISP and say "screw you we're done with you goodbye"
  4. Get AT&T and be on my merry way to good internet
Now if my current ISP realizes we haven't been billed in several months, then we'll just put up the arguments of "it's not our problem that you clowns failed to bill us" and "this isn't written in the contract or anything" and whatnot. But if they still insist, then I guess we'll just have to pay the few hundred dollars. Maybe I'd chip in to it and/or it could count as my Birthday present (which is in July) or something. But hopefully they don't realize it! Because once we cancel all services and are out of the contract and in no way affiliated with them anymore, they CERTAINLY couldn't bill us then, right?

Aw yeah. I am the man with the plan who is on track to get better internet by the end of this month. I like being this man.

So, my coworkers had to witness me screaming at a one-armed man to "get the fuck out" after he cussed and threatened me with violence earlier in the morning...

This all stemmed from him failing to comprehend that I wasn't going to sell him cigarettes when his card is repeatedly being declined (NINE times on two separate visits)! I was fixing to tell my relief what had happened with him when, lo and behold, he decides to show up again. I come from around the counter and in a calm but firm voice to leave the store. Well, he cusses and punches the door open to leave. He then gestures for me to come outside to fight him and paces around the parking lot.

I reach for the phone as he comes back in, still fuming. I tell him in a loud voice to get out of the store before I call the police. He refuses to comply, still challenging me to fight. And that's when I drop the F-bomb on him...

And that was my night. How was yours?
The best part of waking up is...knowing where you are.

FINALLY, SOME MOSTS USERBARS!

I had a guy get mad at me because our debit card machine's chip reader doesn't work, and he couldn't be bothered to keep his debit card in good enough condition for the strip to still work. I told him to go to the 7/11 next door and get some cash from the ATM, but according it him, it's "my job to provide good service to the customer".

Oh of course, how silly of me. Let me just dismantle the machine in front of you and install a new chip reader. That's totally part of my job as a pawn broker.

People have a bad habit of treating anyone in a customer service position like absolute shit for any reason no matter if it's their fault or not. It's complete bullshit but it's nothing new. It's the reason why I don't intend on ever working another customer service job again if possible. Stressful as hell for someone who is already prone to large amounts of stress from sleep issues.

My family has sent me a few emails that I should respond to, but because being so busy this week I've been using my energy on that so I don't have the energy to email them back because I have to be meticulous when I write because nothing will ever please them
lol
