*flops over*
ugh need to take some time and write…
my new job is boring right now. 4 weeks of training on how to be a listener care representative. i have to learn to use the computer systems (easy shit), how to take calls and speak to customers, and how to try and sell them on new radios/packages before they end the call with me. so far we’ve covered the basics. info about the services we provide and we’ve played with the computer stuff. that stuff is easy. it’s just inserting information into the proper fields and hitting send *shrugs* not a big deal.
the taking calls part (which is the main part of the job…duh…) that’s the part that i’m curling up in a ball worrying about lol. computer junk is my strong point, while speaking to people on the phone is a major weak point. especially with the part about trying to up sell them on things. ugh. i’m hoping that i’ll gain some confidence in this training junk to be able to actually take these calls successfully but i guess time will tell.
and to be honest hopefully lucas will show up here before training ends and i can leave this area before i even have to bother with taking calls. *crosses fingers*
the call center is pretty cool though. there’s music playing from the xm radios on the floor, there’s a ton of people i went to school with there, and people that i’ve met though bobbie and other people. so i have potential friends and old acquaintances there to hang out with.
my time with lucas has been cut severely and we grasp at any time we can get with eachother. i speak to him every night and every morning on the phone (if we can, sometimes things come up of course). we talk until i have to go and i spend the day wishing i could go back home and cling to him. *grabby hands*
lately bobbie has been playing second life with me again which is awesome because it’s cool having your irl best friend there running around with you (even when she is just in the other room :p)
oh i don’t think i’ve mentioned this but if you are curious about my second life, you can check out the blog for that here. i have a bad habit of not updating it all the time but it’s there in case anyone is interested :p.
anyway off i go.

I hate that when you start a new job and they act like you don’t know how to be a human being. That’s practically what they train you for, common sense. It’s annoying.
Nimil twitter: @nimil says:
well that’s not really what they’re training us for lol the phone system and stuff is kinda complicated and they want us to say the right things. so i mean.. there’s a reason behind all this training. it’s just long and boring at times.
Angelica says:
Wow, second life looks awesome! I’m a WoW-geek myself so I’m really into creating characters and roleplay (even though most WoW-ers don’t RP). Lol I’m actually creating myself a sl character right now thanks to your post!
I also adore your site and layout. Would you care to affiliate?
Daniela says:
Training can be boring, especially when they cover every easy part pf the matter. But with some friends the job might interesting.
Maren says:
Trainings sounds.. not so fun as many other things I could come up with, but look at the bright side, you’ll earn easy money once you get used to it.. xP all of my best friends have had jobs at telephone sellers, with different results.. xP but they’ve all been doing fine once they got into it, and poor me who doesn’t have time to work has been envying them alot for all the money they earned… :S
good luck anyway!

I used to play SecondLife compulsively and then I stopped. Got bored, I guess, but now that I read through your little SL blog, I want to download it again and go for another try. It may be good for me, get me off of Empire Earth for a little bit. Haha.
