I got a job as a 'phone actress'. Yep. Eleven years listening to total strangers talk about very strange things, and sometimes very mundane things. Only rarely, very hawt things.
Oh dear gods yes, the last five years or so have been hellish, which is why I have a real job now and dispatch calls only one day a week and very rarely do calls anymore. When I first started working in the office a decade ago, we would place 25-30 calls per eight hour shift, easy. The last few years, we are doing well if we place 20 calls a day. Sadly, phone sex is a luxury that many will skip. And the wealth of free internet porn does have an impact as well. But it is a job that serves as a great conversation starter. *snerk*
I might have mentioned this to you. I did telephone triage with Ask A Nurse for the medical center for 8 years. I grew to want a few extra things on my phone, like a screw you button that would send about 20 million volts straight through to the caller...and, did you ever have callers that were just so stupid that you had to put them on hold so you could put your head down on the desk & howl?
