Good evening
I've been landed with an extra half hour in work against my will so I'm obstinately doing no work. I'm really hating our new office this past week, it's bloody freezing because of the arctic standard aircon.
but the thing that's really getting my goat this week is the call centre folks, there's not many of them but THEY NEVER STOP TALKING, they're at it all fucking day.
I didn't mind it when I was working in a call centre because I was talking myself a lot of the time and in between calls I would just switch off. But here, I'm trying to work, I need to concentrate on stuff that I have trouble getting my brain around at the best of times and these folks are just constantly repeating the same shit over and over again "turn off your router, open inter net explorer, the big blue e, quota limit, blah blah fucking blah" I think I'm about to lose it entirely

fuckit, tomorrow I'm bringing in my big jumper, scarf and earplugs

If we're REALLY lucky, Planearm will be along to tell us what he's watching and what he's just bought.

a brachysaurus reared up on its back legs, its front legs have been replaced with two chainsaws and it's calling a t-rex a girly armed nonceadon

I'm off the phones this week
You're right, it's a bloody nightmare if you're working close together. I'm liking having to do nothing but emails at the moment, very relaxed, but I'm a BAD EMPLOYEE because I took on average five and a half minutes per call when we're aiming for between three and a half and four and a half :(((((

you bad, bad person
towards the end of my tenure, my average call time was about 40 minutes

I just kept blaming it on the ridiculous hold times trying to get through to the american teams

Blimey
My excuse is usually something like I wasn't expecting the user not to know where the shift key is, or I didn't expect them not to know the difference between the monitor and the base unit
