I'm still around. It's just my current timetable.

Training from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m, leaving me with the whole morning to study. I usually don't feel like writing in the morning, and I just use the time until midnight to wind down, and don't feel like writing either.

There's not much to tell anyways, with us having signed a secrecy contract concerning training methods, programs used and the fact that it's a secure account because we'll be dealing with personal information (like phone numbers, addresses, social security numbers, etc). But then again, it was the same at the bank.

All I'm allowed to say is that I'm training for the Metlife Dental account, not as sales, but as customer service. Because of the security it's a paperless account, which means we won't even be allowed to have even a pen on the floor. No gadgets of any kind allowed on the floor, no e-mail, no internet access, not even access to Sykes' intranet, so basically we'll be isolated from the outside world while in the floor. Sounds dreary, but when we got to tour the floor, we saw that it wasn't.

All the information we have to learn is overwhelming, though. But with time and practice all will be good. That's why the training lasts 9 weeks.

In other news, Reiki bit a policewoman today.

My mom had called the CAM to ask them to investigate some tree-cutting behind the house. Two CAM officers, a man and a woman came, to see what we were seeing and how they could access the area behind the house. Reiki was fine with the officers coming into the house. She smelled them and was calm when they came upstairs, because the tree-cutting can only be seen from my mother's room. But the moment they stepped into my mother's room, she jumped to bite the female officer's leg and then tried to bite the male officer, until I grabbed her and locked her with me in my room. She didn't draw blood, but left a bruise on the woman's leg.

"They're very protective and territorial," the man said when we told them that Reiki was a rescued dog and that this was the first time this had happened.

Reiki probably feels proud of herself, having protected her family and all. In the meantime, I feel both shame and pride. Shame because she's usually such a sweet little girl with strangers that come (but then again, those strangers don't go into mom's bedroom, most of the time, unless they're the intenet guys), and pride because the ferocity wih which she "protected" her family must mean we did a good job with her.

Argh! Too many non-japanese Reborn doujins so easily available. Makes inner fangirl love the global fandom and makes wallet shake in fear.

Maybe I should start thinking of a small comic for the next Gundam 00 international anthology, whenever that may be.

I wish this sore throat would heal already.

Feeling: ill
