How to lose your customer's trust in 90 days

I recently got a prepaid cell phone for school. There are only 3-4 people who have the number, and I have made a total of 3 phone calls, all under 1 minute. On top of that, I've been out of the country for most of May, which means the phone wasn't even turned on. So, imagine my surprise when I got an email from Telus telling me that they had examined my phone use and thought I would save money by switching to a monthly plan. I think if they had actually looked at my records, they would have sent an email telling me I would save money if I switched to using pay phones!

Edumacated!

Well, I had my graduation ceremony today!! \(^o^)/
Glad it's over, but a little bit sad as well. I definately won't be missing those all nighters though! From now on, my sleepless nights will be from looking for work!
Day started out quite dramatically, as someone didn't get time off of work to go to the ceremony. This snowballed into us leaving 40minutes late. And of course Murphy's Law kicks in and we run into 2 traffic jams on the way. All this before 8am!

It was nice to see some familiar faces again. But, too many people and rushing around to really catch up with anyone. Just a lot of quick hugs, and waves from acrossed packed rooms.

I'm back....

Well, have returned from my little trip. It was odd....I really enjoyed seeing everyone again, but it always feels like I'm missing out on all the important things in people's lives, that I spend so much time saying good-bye.

Almost forgot I'm graduating this week. I haven't been to university since February, I almost forgot about it! Remembered just in the nick of time. I guess I need to figure out where I'm going and of course what to wear!

Started watching a new drama on soju called Tokyo Dogs about two detectives that get partnered up. One is a straight laced, elite officer from NYC. The other appears to be a total slacker from the Tokyo force. I'm still figuring out some of the plot because not all the videos work. But the most interesting thing is seeing all the stereotypes. Like the Japanese detective telling the suspect to co-operate because the other guy was from the states and that he was used to shooting criminals all the time.
