September 24th, 2008Changes In My Life
Yes…I’m making changes in my life. Nothing is set in motion yet cause I’m still thinking about it all, but I definitely know where I’m going to start off with. What would that be? Quitting my current job as a telephone sales representative.
I absolutely HATE it. I can’t stand it any longer and it’s just ticking me off way too much. The supervisors are asswipes, the hours are insanely stupid, and MANDATORY shifts for working on holidays like HALLOWEEN or CHRISTMAS - I DON’T THINK SO!! Enough is enough. I’m sick of it all and need a break.
I was hoping that it would last since it’s a good pay considering what you are doing, but it’s just to stressful and I dread going in each and everyday…and if you haven’t noticed all of my complaints on twitter, well, let’s just say there’s a lot.
So tomorrow…I’m thinking about telling one of the supervisors that I want to leave. Most people give two weeks notice and then they say you are expected to cover your shifts for the next two weeks. I don’t think so, sorry. I’m sick of it, what makes them think I’ll cover those shifts? No thank-you. I don’t really care if I leave there with a not so good rep. Honestly, I don’t really care. I’ve done it before, I’ll do it again.
When I hate something sooo much, there’s no stopping me and there’s no forcing me to do anything. I’ll take off and continue living my life the way I want to and not be a slave to any company.
I’ll go back to school & paid blogging if I have to. I have no problem. In fact, I’m already looking at school stuff to plan my next move. And the paid blogging? Well, that is just way too easy and I can handle that as well.
Then I’ll have no restrictions and can sleep in late and stay up all night doing what I want to do and not have to worry about going off to work early the following day. I hate that the most. I’d rather spend time with my family and do things at home, then deal with crummie customers ALL-DAY-LONG on the phones.
Get my drift? I’m sure we’ve all had a job like this one time or another. And it sucks…majorly. I’ve had a headache all day thinking about this stuff and what I’m going to do. I know my parents won’t approve it but I don’t care. I’m living my life the way I want to and some changes I think ARE necessary and FOR THE BETTER before I go off the deep end and completely lose it.

Hi Tina,
I stumbled here via Grokodile. I used to work for a call center too a couple of summers back (at Jackson Square). I didn’t survive 3 weeks. I hated it !
So on the Friday of the last week, I walked up to my supervisor and lied that I’d got a better job and I was not coming in following week. I returned my ID card and just walked out through the doors. No two weeks notice there.
Best decision I made !
Later that winter I spotted my supervisor at Mac selling credit cards. He said he had quit. I felt sorry for him - but at the same time the evil me felt comforted.
