I: Introductions
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am a 20-something ex student who is currently working in a call centre as a sales representitive. You know those guys who ring you up wanting you to change your phone line and ISP? Yeah, I’m that bastard. I don’t like it and I’m not proud of it, and I swear to you, if something different came up, say, eating shit, I would take it. I would take it and I would thank you. I would rather eat shit than do what I do.
But I do it. I don’t do it for the praise. I don’t do it because I want to make the company I work for richer. I don’t do it for the hours or the status or the love. I do it for the money, the Benjimans, the cash. In this current economic climate, beggars really can’t be choosers, and call centres are more than happy to take people all. Even nowadays, their turnover is higher than Robert Downey Jr. in the eighties. He was a high man. And he wouldn’t get off my lawn.
Inspired by this post on Cracked.com, I have decided to chronicle my time in tech support and beyond.
