When you work at this call center, he said he feels like a bad kid getting scolded everyday by his parents. There's only coaching forms and low quality scores graded by people who oftentimes did worse before their promotions. It's the Soviet Union of call centers. Everything bad that could happen does, and all the while we're expected to be delightful to customers who frequently behave in ways I can only imagine animals do in the wild.

I'm leaving to take a 2-day course in Chicago to help prepare me for a certification I will need for another job I am going to take when I get up there. This is the best thing that has happened to me since asking my fiancée to marry me and the second best thing to happen in my life since graduating from KU just under a year ago.

I'd like to toast to all of us who have left a poor job for a better one, but very few of you are probably holding glasses or mugs right now.

Yay!!
