Quoted:
Starting this week Im going back to 40 hours a week, no more 70 hour weeks. Had enough of 6+ hours of back to back calls with no break or lunch allowed, and enough of being left to do the job of 5 people. Also tired of my supervisor refusing to do his job, responding that every action I take is wrong, speaking down to me or outright insulting me. Mentioned today that there is a problem when 70% of my calls (I made a chart) I have problems hearing customers over other reps laughing, yelling, screaming while throwing objects, singing, or watching music videos. How long until I break down due to boredom or missing the money? This will break you down quick. |

I worked 76 last week. I would have worked another 76 this week if my wife hadn't insisted I had to take her to the sonogram today. As long as they keep offering it and I have debt, I'll keep working it.

Why do I want someone to bitch at me about everything and burn through my money. If Im going to be miserable I can do that alot cheaper and easier. If I want an object that will waste time, money and be a pain in the ass I'll get another GTO atleast I can kick it and not go to jail. |

Been there, done that. When I was working in a call center, I had office politics thrust upon me for complaining about noisy cube-neighbors. A manager of another department had a cube right next to mine, and she knew as well as I did how loud and unruly she could be. So she asked me to give a tap on the top of her cube if she was getting loud and interfering with my calls. So I did... while a VP was in there.
Found out a few months later that my manager was using that faux-pas as one of her reasons to deny me a promotion.
That's when I said "fuck it all, I'm gonna go sell cars on ebay". That's led me down a long and winding road in the auto industry, and I'm in a much better place now for having taken that trip. 
The only way to stop being miserable in a cube farm is to stop going to it. I know it's tough in this market, but keep your eyes open, and look for something you'll actually enjoy. |

I too wanted to join the army, and I will if we get a good POTUS in '12. I too have joint pain. As to the fear of failure, I have that too. The solution? Don't fail. Despair, Inc. has some neat videos on the subject.

Obama is going to practicing the finer art of redistribution of wealth. He is going to make sure the lower income folks get a little bit of a cash infusion courteously of the tax payers. He also wants to get some of these folks jobs in the construction sector. Either way these people like to piss away money as soon as they get it. In you down time, you can drive through the low income neighborhoods, public housing areas, and trailer parks to scout for a market that has yet to be tapped. It could be a liquor stand, smokes, gaming parlor, country bar... you name it. Get creative. Once you have discovered the untapped market. Go out and get that money. You seem like the type of go getter that could become rich overnight.
