vanillafluffy"It started right up for me this morning," said my mechanic. I figured maybe there was a clog in the fuel line that got knocked loose going up and down the flatbed, but on the way home, it started running rough when I had to idle at lights.
Right now, it's sitting in my driveway. Kat's coming by in a while and we're going up to Walmart so I can deposit enough cash to pay (some of) my bills. Then...I don't know. I just don't know. I'm so crazy with stress I think I'm going to go blind. I'm sick to my stomach with dread.
All this because some idiotic pencil-pusher has decreed some arbitrary number for call handle times. None of this, NONE OF THIS would be happening if I was working from home. That is, the 2500 extra miles I've had to log since May have helped kill my car, drain my wallet AND stress me out. Thank you very much!
Am I rambling? Probably. I've already told PJ and AI, if anything happens to me, if I keel over in the call center, get creamed by a semi, or wind up in a rubber room, I authorize them to sue the bejezus out of my employer. It's all their fault.

Date: 2008-09-22 07:59 pm (UTC)If I could find something within a couple of miles of home with comparable benefits, yeah, I'd jump on it, but the competition for jobs is fierce, and my skills are somewhat one-sided. I give good phone, but only incoming. I can't do outbound calls; I've tried. It gives me panic attacks. I'm trying to keep slogging through, and hope that they get the peak season ramped up and send me back home again. SOON.
