First Load of Crap


Let's face it most blogs are full of crap! They wouldn't be interesting enough if they are not crap. It wouldn't really hurt that much if I have my own additions to them. It's 12:45 am and yes it's still a bit early for a bad day. This damn body is not able to move. This head hurts. These eyes wont even open up. I have the signs and symptoms of a highly motivated employee trying to get his butt up early for work. Shift starts at 2:00 am, and did I mention I am a call center agent. Yes I work for a lame high speed internet service provider in the U.S. but I'm located here in the Philippines. You already know what kind of work I have.


This is what ticks me off: no matter how hard you try to make it sound palatable (technical support and customer care representative) its still the same kind of crap. You still wipe people's asses and that's a fact. The more years you spend wiping people's asses the tougher you're supposed to get but what actually happens is that the more you wipe their asses the fouler it gets everyday. This is what I learned on my 2 years experience working in this industry.


Maybe I'm just exaggerating maybe I’m not. But frankly if you're human you could already smell the stink if you were in my place. I have nothing against call center agents in general but rather the nature of the job in itself. If it were not for the name of the company I'm working with I will not be staying here for this long... But for whatever it is stinking for I'm sure I could still stand it a little more.

Yeah, I understand the drama. I also work in the same industry, maybe even in the same service, maybe even in the same office. Maybe even in the same team, and in the same shift, and in the same floor.

HA HA HAAAA!

Yeah, it's so devilish fun to bitch.

Cheers!

This is my first comment. Yeah I guess you perfectly understand all these, 'cause you are on the same company I work for. Bleh!
