ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

[gooluva]

i started a job on tuesday as a debt collector for ccs companies. yeah i know...i sold out to the man. well when you are desperate you would too! it's weird being on the other side of a ccs call. instead of trying to collect a debt, usually they are trying to collect a debt from me. weird. the first thing i did in the system was look up my own name. luckily no one in my house is in the system. sweet. it feels good to be getting out of the house but i can't wait until training is over. i mean the hours for training are 9-5 which is cool but it's mostly mundane policy and procedure stuff. tomorrow we will actually be making calls to real people, not just listening in on our coworkers conversations. i'm not really nervous about it since i have done call center/customer service work before. the only thing that would make me nervous is taking too much time on a call because i don't know how to navigate the software that well yet. but i guess that's why my training class is going to be making calls in our training room with everyone so the trainer can readily assist us. i believe on friday we will be moving into our own cubes.

the people there are pretty nice. the pay is shit but it's something. at least i'll be able to turn my phone back on and pay off some of my credit card in a couple weeks! i can't stand being without my blackberry! it's driving me nuts! i constantly have the urge to text and i can't! lame. ah technology how you suck my life! i've turned into one of those stereotypical blackberry users that can't be away from it for long or i'll go nuts. since i haven't had it working in a week or so i'm getting used to it but now i have to rely on my laptop once a day to check my email and facebook when i used to get all the messages and notifications on my phone all day! my laptop is so fucking slow that it is even taking me forever to type this entry!

anywho...i'm going to attempt to sleep so i can get up for work tomorrow.

peace.
