Whew! THAT'S over!

Thankfully, it won't be Friday the 13th again for months! Today wasn't terrible, but it was intense enough. I was waiting for Kat to come by before I could leave for Melbourne--she loaned me a few bucks because of the banking situation---then I bolted to work, where the guy who presides over the checks wasn't in his office. I sat, waiting, tapping my fingers and grumbling. He returned, I seized my check, zoomed two blocks down to the nearest branch of my brand-new bank, where I made my very first deposit. (It will be accessible in the morning.) Dashed over to the Publix (in the same parking lot), where I grabbed a sandwich for lunch and a few stray things like bread and diet cola, and made it to work with enough time to tinkle before I had to be on the phone.

The phones? I don't even want to go there. I think I had more orders fail than actually went through, and a few people I just wanted to slap---like the individual who called White Trash Queen trying to get a return label for something that they ordered in the wrong size---because we allegedly inverted the sizes on the website so that the bigger size was on top, and they "instinctively" ordered the uppermost selection. The verdict? Suck it up, we are not going to pay return postage because you're oblivious.

Funniest moment:
I was looking something up, and the caller asked if I was still there.
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Oh, I didn't hear you breathing."
"Well, ma'am, I try not to do a lot of heavy breathing on the phone, it isn't that kind of call center." Which apparently went right over her head, and hopefully won't land on mine....

I swear, that's about the only kind of phone job I haven't done at one time or another!

You should probably give it a try. I've heard it pays good money, and you'd be *awesome* at it. ;-)

Considering that Bubbles insists I keep my phone on mute during conferences calls specifically because of my heavy breathing...
