Working at a call-center is the Ultimate Evil, brrr

I used to work at a one hour photo service, that's kinda fun. But nowadays I'm having a full job working at myself, which is both good and bad (pays 0, unfortunately :P).

call centers can get pretty downer but compared to a lot of the jobs out there its ok.
i have to call people up and ask them questions about stuff. its like telesales minus the sales part. can be a bit grinding because its not nice annoying people by calling them at the wrong times, like when they have had a death in the family or somming.
a lot easier than selling windows though..or really hot kitchens, factorys,
i know people who have spent years killing animalls. i think that is maybe one of the worst out there.
maybe.

@danny
i know some industrial cleaners man that is hard and they have to deal with stuff that exists in any century i:e dirt, that lovely offshoot of a lot of industrial processes, and belive it or not there are still some small places in this country where they actually make things. we cant all work in offices......

Yup. Killed chickens for two weeks. It sucked.

I kinda like my current job, it's shift work and I have to work weekends sometimes but it's kinda relaxed and nice

Pays muck tho :ranting:

Oooh.. Censorship

Well, my job has some downsides, but I guess every job does. Apart from that I'm really happy with my job.

Teaching kids can be nerve-wrecking sometimes, but there are so many great things (just this week one of the classes welcomed me with a blackboard full of smiles k: :P . That was really sweet.

And I love the hours I have this school year (I start at 7 on Mondays and Wednesdays - chess club; Othewise I start at 8 and finish at 12:20 - except on Fridays when I finish at 11:30). And the school is just a 10 minuts walk away - so HELL YEAH, if I wouldn't like it this year, there's no job I'd like.
The kids are well behaved (at leat well enough) and the other teachers at school are interesting, so I got to meet interesting people and have a lot to talk about. I'm just starting to work on a script for a movie we'll be making...
Life is good! k: :Brain: B)

I'm a senior masters undergraduate in engineering. Hopefully I'll be ready to do my thesis next autumn. I've applied for one at Ericsson. The task is to create a realtime code generator for various radio bases. I hope I get it

Oddly, even though most people say they hate them, Geography and French are the 2 most silent lessons I have. Barely anyone speaks.. :P
Meanwhile, in maths, our teacher can't shut us up. She stops for 2 milliseconds and we talk :P
