1. Call center phone sex.

[leeroysphitz]

4. Been there. Done that.

I truly have a "thing" for women from the sub-continent... :)

2. pffftttt....

[Chovexani]

3. Find a priest

Have last rites ready.

[graywarrior]

5. I laughed my ass off over that and I don't even get it.

6. LOL. I'm a call center vet.

I was outsourced at the last one I worked at and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Now I'm making way more, taking far less abuse, and the job is 1000 times less stressful. I'm doing financial aid for an auto technical school and while the job is phone heavy, it's not a call center type environment.

Wild horses couldn't drag me back into one of those jobs.

7. I worked in Chapel Hill for Arbitron doing surveys. It was a NIGHTMARE.

I don't handle any form of rejection with any sort of grace...

[leeroysphitz]

12. Chase? I 'll bet I know your voice :)

YOU BASTARD! :sarc:

[Chovexani]

13. That's YOU BITCH, buddy

:rofl:

[leeroysphitz]

14. Ugly, ugly assumptions and all the wickedness that they reveal.

Please know that I am a conscience entity striving to move far beyond my ignorant and petty assumptions. Please grant me the time it shall take to do this.

8. Shit. I can't wait for tomorrow.

I will be crying by noon.

[leeroysphitz]

9. I wish I had some uplifting advice for you! Tele-whatever work SUCKS

but nothing so bad that a sense of determination won't see you through.

[graywarrior]

10. I'm gonna take it a call at a time until I go berserk.

15. Hey, I do in person surveys at Disney World.

You think it's rough getting hung up on? When they're rude to me, they're rude to my face... at the happiest fuckin' place on earth. It's even better when they're drunk conventioners.
