I don't work actually, I'm still a student, but I intend to win the lottery anyway.

Hey, that's what I'm going to do, get your own ideas.

Ok then.

What do you guys do for work? Klin & Ken?

I'm a Customer Support Technician with an Internet Service Provider.

If only the odds weren't so low

I'm a Customer Support Technician with an Internet Service Provider.

Cool

So do you help customers on the phone?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I'm pretty sure he does!

 

[Klin]

Cool

So do you help customers on the phone?

Yeah. Sometimes through emails as well.

 

[Dragon]

Is it a hard job? Do you get really rude customers?

Yesterday I had to call the support line of my cell provider and the girl wouldn't provide me with an answer so I was really mean to her. I regret it though because I know it's not her problem

All the time.

The first 6 months with this job have been hell. Once my shift ended, I couldn't speak to anyone.

Now I'm used to it. I learned not to take my work personally and it got me through 2 years.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Klin, what's your native language?

 

[Dragon]

Some people have a hard time not letting their jobs take them personally

 

[Klin]

Klin, what's your native language?

Maltese.

I've never had a job at a callcenter, but I know a few mates of mine who did, and they said the same thing. The problem is that the people you get on the line are already annoyed because there is some sort of problem they can't handle themselves.

Just ignore the bastards, good for you that you stopped letting it get to you.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Maltese.

Didn't know that was a language!

 

[Klin]

Indeed. In fact a lot of people get pissed after a few months in here and leave the job.

I was fortunate that most of my customers were calm and willing to do what I asked them to. Especially ones that stayed on the phone for more than an hour sometimes!

If I worked in a call center I'm sure I'd lose my patience in the first few minutes and they'd have to fire me

I'm sure you'd try harder to keep your job!

The bolded part is 100% true.

Didn't know that was a language!

Same here.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Ignorant me.
