# INTERESTING FACT I LEARNED:
There is more money, more fun and less pressure working in a call centre.

So many people with degrees work shitty shitty jobs at shitty pay with no recognition because they're 'qualified'.

I just shout at people and get paid.

# RUB IT IN WHY DON'T YOU
 
at least my boss is as stoned as I am, that makes for a pretty good work environment I must say

# AND WHEN I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE NEARBY TO SHOUT AT
I SURF THE INTERNET

and yes, stoner bosses can be fun.

# Remember: Word every response as "Situation, Action, Result".
Most recruiters are more interested in how you reply rather than what you reply with.

# I don't know that for sure, but I have my suspicions.

# I learned something else a while ago:
They're all stoners. More than half the people you work with are regular smokers and half of who's left are occasional smokers.

For some reason everyone denies it but we're all in the same fucking club.

# yeah, except for that one jerk who you always wonder what IS that guy's fucking problem?
 
HE DOESN'T SMOKE, THAT'S WHAT

# That's funny as that would seem like the lowest circle of customer service hell to me.
Anyway, my degree isn't going to qualify me for shit.

# Fuck customer service
get into telemarketing. My entire life changed when I picked up a shitty telemarketing job (between other jobs, I thought at the time).

You get paid to sit on your ass and piss people off all around the country.

Bring in a few bucks and everyone loves you for being a dick to their customers. Let those collegepeople get paid shitty wages so they can be proud of their jobs.

# do you work from home?
my headhunter keeps offering me those jobs, skype-based nonsense. i resist.

# No, I run a call centre now.
Those work from home jobbies can be pretty sweet though, most people just trust that you aren't going out of your way to piss people off.

# well, i sure can be trusted in that manner.
my friend who died of cancer a few weeks ago did a gig for a big pizza place that way. she hated it but because she was an independent operator, if drunk goofs pissed her off she'd just tell them to go fuck themselves and hang up on them.

# Personally I like to just persist with the offer if they get abusive.
"I just really don't want you to miss out on these savings, sir. Please just let me explain to you what a fantastic deal this really is."

If they start talking, just start shouting their full name until they start listening.

# haha, i hang up on people like you.
i once called a telemarketer a cunt and she called me back to yell at me. there were many screams that night.
(I helped save b3ta! postbear has metal knees, Tue 30 Sep 2008, 5:09, archived)
# Oh, I never bothered with revenge calls.
If I hadn't fucked with them enough on the first call, I wasn't doing my job properly.

# she was pretty angry. it was a rude thing to say but she really got on my tits.

# when i was a kid my parents got sick of me bringing the phone all the way to them
if it was just a telemarketer anyway

so they told me to tell them, if they don't want to leave a message, that we're not interested. so, the next time we had a call, i did just that.

...boy, did that lady rip me a new one. she summoned the angry black woman inside her and made my 12-year-old self not want to answer the phone again for months.
