newish temporary maybe job
Back in November I told my supervisor at the store where I work that I wanted out of the hateful, mind-numbing, infuriating job I was doing, and maybe go to working in one of the stores fresh dept's. Finally, on Friday last week they found something else.
On Monday I started a job at the company's head office, probably for lack of anywhere else to go. It's answering phones and e-mails, really. Directing inquiries from the stores about ordering and pricing issues,etc. to the right contacts in HO, then relaying the answers back to the stores. That part I don't mind. It was kind of mind boggling the first day, because they kind of gave me a quick overview of what to do, then away you go.
The part I wasn't really prepared for was, "Oh, we answer calls to the customer service line too."
They never mentioned that, and I've never really been good at dealing with irate customer type people.
If not for that I'd really like this job. The time flies; you're not waiting on the clock while the hours crawl by. I don't even know how long I'm going to be there yet. It's supposed to be temporary, but they haven't given me a time frame.
Even if it doesn't last, it's a change from the monotony and frustration of the last job, I suppose.
