I was doing customer service last year for AT&T and Boost mobile. It played out pretty much the same way. For $11 an hour the pay was great for a professional loafer such as myself, being able to read books in between calls made it bearable.

Haha, I might be in the same boat as you after the summer. I've been thinking of moving to Seoul but I'm not totally sure about staying in a public school. It'll be easier to get another hagwon job but I'm nervous at the nightmarish possibilities.

I worked there! That stupid prepaid cingular call center. I worked 40 hours and then after that, I left early two days in a row and then I just stopped showing up but I kept the neat headpset and badge.

Just saw about 30 seconds of Tosh.0
Edit: I also just heard a Lil Wayne song played on the organ at the Hawks vs Bulls game.

Woke up to 6 inches of heavy wet snow on the ground, several shrubberies split open and destroyed by the snow load, and news of another 6 - 10 inches on the way. Spring, my ass!

this sort of has positive implications but right now it doesn't feel good - I figured out that the web radar I look at to decide if the rain is going to clear up soon or not before waiting a bit or biking in & getting soaked... yeah this fucking radar ALWAYS looks the worst right at the site of the radar thing itself, so when it's a total shitstorm outside the red bit is all "here" which translates in my brain as "about to pass"!?!?! basically fuck radar
can't wait for google weather

You're ability to troll someone on the most trivial of matters is pretty impressive.

That wouldn't surprise me if it were the case. Either way he's consistently been one of the more impressive and entertaining curmudgeons on the board.

Yup! Been working for Cingular/AT&T for the past 6 1/2 years and I remember the Cingular days when all the reps had to do was transfer everything to a diffrent department. Not sure why you quit the job was cake back then!

I have a tear in my abdominal muscles and can't really do anything for awhile or it can herniate. Basically my amazing weekend full of bike riding and live music has been squashed.

Rez is dry. Not a pill to be found. Might have to take a ride.
