Starting a New Job & My Birthday
9 November 2015 was not only my19th birthday but also the first day of my new job! It's almost been an entire month already and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It's working at a call center, I answer the phone and take peoples orders or payments from various catalogs the company owns. Most people are very nice and I've only had a few rude people. The only bad thing is that they don't schedule you for a lunch, you have to request one which takes 2-3 weeks to go in effects since they schedule 2 weeks in advance. I just get two 10 minute breaks even though I'm working 8 hour shifts, which is illegal but it pays quite well so there isn't too much to complain about. The only thing I don't like is the sitting. You basically sit for 8 hours strait. The chairs are comfortable but after a while I get a bit restless and just uncomfortable so I'm always stretching and moving around in my seat. I'm sure I drive my neighbors crazy lol It is a temporary job and they usually have a layoff but sometimes you can stay and just have less hours but I'm not sure if I want to stay or not. I like it and it's really quite easy, I just don't like dealing with people. There are a lot of calls where you can barely hear anything or it's super staticky or something and it just makes me feel incompetent having to ask them something 5 times in a row. Plus my anxiety can be bad which makes it hard but since it's not face to face that does help. When the times come for layoffs I'll make my decision then.
