Work, work, work

I started at a call center about 2 months ago and I loved everyone at the center that I was able to meet. The actual job though... it's rough. I know how rude people can be because I've only ever worked in the mall, but when the person can't see who they are yelling at... oh man! They are just downright nasty! Their problems weren't even my fault and yet they take out all their anger and frustration out on me. I understand that they see me as the face of the company, but chill the hell out people! TV is not so important that you can't miss a few hours, or days. Take the opportunity to spend time with your family. K, I got that out of my system.

Not only was that part hard to handle, but I don't like being confined to a little space like that. Cubicle life is not for me. I don't consider myself being claustrophobic, but maybe I am? Just a little?

I'm still at the bookstore. I'll be there 'til the very end and my manager is very grateful. She was relieved when I told her I quit and would have more time to give her. I'm really bummed that we're closing.

1. I like working there.

2. I like all of my co-workers.

3. I love books. I love to read, and I like helping people find new worlds to escape into.

4. The dress code is casual.

5. I get the amount of hours I want.

6. It's a good company with a great rewards program.

Now, I'll be applying to the mother store (who owns us). They don't have room right now, but maybe in a couple months someone will quit. *fingers crossed*

Thankfully, my husband makes enough to feed us and pay our bills. No extras though. :( The call center pays amazingly well, but it just isn't the right job for me. I was miserable and stressed. I will be applying for jobs around town, but it's not a great time of year to get a job. We'll see what happens. I'm confident everything will work out fine though.
