I used to love my job
I really did, I had fun, my own desk, talking to different people all the time, lots of interesting people around to talk to when I wasn't on the phone. I used to do French email which was interesting and I had time away from the crazy customers. I used to be perky and fun on the phone. I made the greeting my own. I was GOOD at my job..........
Now I am so-so, it has become stressful, things have changed and my job has become more about the technical help, following the company policies and procedures and less about the customer...............and the stress level is high............ I can handle the changes in information, I can't handle getting penalized for changes that only happened this morning when I wasn't working................I can handle the angry customers...........I can't handle the ones that don't listen simple instructions..................I can handle my crazy co-workers freaking out............I can't handle people who I thought were my friends sending me email bitching at me about not spending enough time with them and what a bitch I am (hell wasn't that obvious a while ago)...............I can handle my supervisor......I can't handle other peoples supervisors (especially the idle Nazis).............I can handle a little overtime...........but would prefer VTO (oh how I miss you my dear sweet friend)..................I can handle the newbies coming in and double-jacking.............I can't handle some of the better people I work with quitting or getting fired.............I can handle working with my whole family..................I can't handle the drive out to the bridge after a long night of putting up with Americans................... I needed to vent..........................
