Thoughts from the service industry

Sign in to disble this ad
I work in a call center, meaning I have headphones on ten hours a day. I just farted, and it sucks because I can't tell how loud it was with the headphones and some customer complaining.

It occurred to me while I was trying to figure out if I need to hide under the desk that us used and abused customer service people have interesting problems sometimes.

What's going on in your job?

I just spread my legs and lit mine on fire. It must be a prison in there.

Pretty much the same thing that's going on with your job. Headset strapped to my skull? Check. Noxious odor in cubicle? Check. Co-workers afraid to see what the hell is going on in here? Check.

I am a dept unto myself, but it sounds kinda similar......

I am shameless in my open release of whatever's trying to escape. People following me after I exit elevators beware.

Now I know why C/S has gone downhill.

If Ive got to get out some gas I just raise a cheek and let 'er rip!

I dont have headphones, so I like to hear how loud it is and wonder if the person to either side of me has heard. Then I laugh.
