Phone calls Vs. Friendly people

People who call NET and don't know what they're doing can be super mean about it. There was a dude who was all, uh, wait, I must have the wrong number, and then he SLAMMED the phone down. And then I'm pretty sure he called back and hung up while I said good afternoon. Or, the lady who wanted to pay off her student loans, she was not happy that I was not the Department of Education's loan department.

People who come inside, however, are always really nice, even when I have to tell them that the meeting they're here for doesn't take place that day and they have to come back a different day. A guy came in asking if we sold a DVD of a special that was on, left his card, and left. He was so nice. A little hard of hearing, but nice. I'm getting ok at yelling nicely to old people.

The thing about NET is, if I type net it's the word net, but that's how it's spelled on the business cards and on television so it seems more correct. When I type NET I feel like I'm simply yelling about nets. I am not that passionate about nets.

So, about 250 employees here. Halfish are employed by UNL, the other half, the state. I'm state at the moment, but if it goes full time the job might be through UNL and I'd get an NCard again. yay.

I do not know everyone's name yet. I know some people's names really well, some people's faces really well, and for a few people I even can match those names and faces. Only one person do I know their extension by memory, but I have a cheat sheet and the ability to place people on hold while I figure out who the heck they want to talk to.

I realised I hadn't told anyone details about me at work, except maybe Christine? Because I talk to her during the day while we're both working hard and not being bored at all.

Abby, I'll never meet the people you know here, they are recluses. You can tell them to come introduce themselves, but they already got an email everyone got that said to come introduce themselves to me when I was new, and that didn't happen.

I'd volunteer to help you with your NET needs, but basically, if you come in I can say hi, and if you call I can direct your call somewhere else. I don't have much more power than that. I could change your name on the mailing list to Awesomesauce Mcgee I guess. Some of these names sound fake, but they're probably just fun names.

'Don't Forget Where You Belong' is written by Niall and I love it

Been a lot of places                              Cue tears
I've been all around the world
Seen a lot of faces
Never knowing where I was

On the horizon
Oh, well, I know, I know, I know
I know the sun will be rising
Back home                                            Cue more tears and a heart clutch

Living out of cases,    
Packing up and taking off
Made a lot of changes
But not forgetting who I was             THEY HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN WHO THEY WERE

On the horizon
Oh, well, I know, I know, I know,
I know the moon will be rising
Back home

Don't forget where you belong, home          They're just so great
Don't forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own            AND IT'S JUST SO TOUCHING
And the proof is in this song

I've been away for ages
But I've got everything I need
I'm flicking through the pages
I've written in my memory

I feel like I'm dreaming
Oh, so I know, I know, I know,
I know that I'm never leaving                  thEY LOVE EACH OTHER
No, I won't go

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong, home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
And the proof is in this song

Lights off when they should be on                   I'm not currently in a place I can listen to the song, I'm doing this from memory, but I can't remember who sings this part and the lyrics site was not helpful enough to tell me, so I'm just going to say, I love when Niall sings, he starts the song right? It's so great because he wrote it and then he sings and it's like he's singing his soul and yes.
Even stars and skies above
Short days when the nights are long
When I think of the days I've gone
Don't matter how far I've gone
I'll always be around oh

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it), home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own
Never, never

Don't forget where you belong, home
Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it), home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own (you were never)
And the proof is in this song

Home
Don't forget it
Home
If you ever feel alone, don't
You were never on your own (you were never)
And the proof is in this song

Never forget it
This song
Don't forget it!                              They really don't want you to forget it
No, I never forget it
This song
You were never

Aaaaaand, that's as coherent about this song as I get. It's so great.

'You & I' is supposed to be poetic

[Niall]

I figured it out           Niall doesn't often start songs, so I'm proud
I figured it out from black and white
Seconds and hours
Maybe they had to take some time

[Liam]

I know how it goes
I know how it goes from wrong and right
Silence and sound
Did they ever hold each other tight
Like us
Did they ever fight
Like us                     I don't know who 'they' is here, but yes, yes they did
[Harry]

You and I
We don't wanna be like them
We can make it till the end
Nothing can come between
You and I
Not even the gods above can       
Separate the two of us

 

 Ok, ok, which gods, cause if it's Greek gods, that's saying something because they are very good at separating people because they like to screw with mortals, but as far as I know other gods don't care about stuff like that, when's the last time Norse gods have split people up? What, Odin came to your house and was like YOU MUST NOT DATE, and then fell asleep on your sofa?

No nothing can come between
You and I
Oh, you and I

[Zayn]

I figured it out
Saw the mistakes of up and down
Meet in the middle
There's always room for common ground

[Louis and Zayn]             singing together like bros, I like it

I see what it's like
I see what it's like for day and night
Never together
Cause they see things in a different light
Like us
They never tried
Like us

[Harry]

You and I
We don't wanna be like them
We can make it till the end
Nothing can come between
You and I
Not even the gods above can
Separate the two of us

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
(Zayn)
'Cause You and I
(All)              warms my heart to hear them all singing together
We don't wanna be like them
We can make it till the end
Nothing can come between
You and I
Not even the gods above can
Separate the two of us
No nothing can come between
You and I
Oh, you and I
Ooooh You and I
We could make it if we try
Oh, you and I
You and I

I'm eh about the song anyway because it's slow, I have a thing against slow songs. They have to be really good for me to not dislike them. On top of that, who are we comparing You and I to, 'they' is not very specific and if we're not careful basically we're saying, our parents did everything wrong, and then it's a short skip and a hop to incest. I think I spend too much time on the internet.

'Midnight Memories' the song, not the album

1, 2, 3

Straight off the plane to a new hotel
Just touched down, you could never tell        yes, because you are so smooth, brag about it more
A big house party with a crowded kitchen
People talk shh but we don't listen

Tell me that I'm wrong but I do what I please
Way too many people in the Addison Lee
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh, whoa

Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby you and me
Stumbling in the street                                 Drunk, is this a good example for your young fans
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, anywhere we go never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it

5 foot something with the skinny jeans
Don't look back, baby follow me
I don't know where I'm going but I'm finding my way     Me, when I'm driving
Same old shh but a different day

Tell me that I'm wrong but I do what I please
Way too many people in the Addison Lee
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh, whoa

Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby you and me
Stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, anywhere we go never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it

You and me and all our friends              Almost a date, except, all our friends
I don't care how much we spend

 

ALRIGHT, you guys need to hold yourself accountable for your nighttime spending. I know what it's like, nighttime Mary frequently wants to buy a collapsable tophat, but nighttime Mary knows that daytime Mary would appreciate it if we saved our money for things that are useful. The day that daytime Mary agrees that we need a collapsable tophat will be a good day indeed. The point is, you do care how much you spend, just not at midnight, so, fix your shit.

Baby, this is what the night is for,    I hear night is for sleeping, and now that I work, I concur.
I know nothing's making sense
For tonight let's just pretend
I don't wanna stop so give me more

Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby you and me
Stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Midnight memories,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, anywhere we go never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it

 

Yeah I like it. Sure, it's a bad influence on all the young people that are going to be like, yeah, stay up and do crazy things at midnight because it's cooler than doing stuff during the day, but it's catchy. Not to mention, midnight, it's a time of day that I don't often miss.

'Diana' I don't hate it

Diana

 

The front pages are your pictures
They make you look so small
How could someone not miss you at all? (Oh-ah-oh)

I never would mistreat ya
I'm not a criminal
I speak a different language but I still hear your call             Is this for the fans around the world that don't speak English but are still in love with them? Because, it totally is.

 

Diana, let me be the one to
Light a fire inside those eyes
You've been lonely, you don't even know me
But I can feel you crying

 

Alright, tangent, is it just me or do they talk about crying a lot more than usual. Like, tears that fall like the rain that is British, is the worst example. And then whatever song it is that says you're so pretty when you cry.

Diana, let me be the one to
Lift your heart up and save your life         Bitch please, my life don't need saving
I don't think you even realize
Baby you'll be saving mine

Diana, it's only been four months but
You've fallen down so far
How could someone mislead you at all? (Oh ah oh)

I wanna reach out for you
I wanna break these walls
I speak a different language but I still hear you call

Diana, let me be the one to
Light a fire inside those eyes
You've been lonely, you don't even know me
But I can feel you crying
Diana, let me be the one to
Lift your heart up and save your life
I don't think you even realize
Baby you'll be saving mine

We all need something
This can't be over now
If I could hold ya
Swear I'd never put you down      That could get awkward.

Diana, let me be the one to
Light a fire inside those eyes
You've been lonely, you don't even know me
But I can feel you crying
Diana, let me be the one to
Lift your heart up and save your life
I don't think you even realize
Baby you'll be saving mine

(Oh ah oh) Diana
(Oh ah oh oh oh oh oh oh) Diana, baby you'd be saving mine
(Oh ah oh) Diana
(Oh ah oh oh oh oh oh oh) Diana, baby you'd be saving mine

Overall, I like the song. It's got the repetitiveness we all expect of course, but I like the way they sing the word Diana, so that's lucky for me.

Also, I've figured out I can use the computer here at work for things, so even though my phone is inexplicably down to 63% already at 10:00 AM, I can totally review some One Direction songs.

Why is the world

So, of course I follow Niall on Instagram, because it's solid gold, but this is the best example of how weird his life must be.

Obviously the best response to a normal, adorable photo. 

Meanwhile, Jupiter was super brilliant the other night AND CHRISTINE WOULDN'T EVEN GO OUTSIDE TO SEE IT. I made my mom come outside and she was all, it's pretty, also cold, and went back in. Sigh. Lucky didn't care either.
