Don't say anything, but the tech sitting next to me is crrAAAZZYYYY

he's singing kumbaya my lord over and over again with his customer on mute...

*EDIT*: Now he's stabbing at the phone screaming "AUTO-IN THAT BITCH"

I'm worried...

The tech behind me used to be a monk. Pop Xmas tunes interspersed with Gregorian Chants. ;-)

you have to be crazy to survive this job, mate ... sane people don't remain sane for long.

[justcallmebethy.livejournal.com]

hehehehe he's torturing the customer in his mind.

[ozdeadmeat.livejournal.com]

Thats not crazy. If he does this though, "kumbaya my lord over" *HUGE NERVOUS TICK* "kumbayaaaaaaaaa"......."kumbaya my lord over" *HUGE NERVOUS TICK* "kumbayaaaaaaaaa"

If thats whats happening id find the nearest exit. Best bets is he will have replaced his chair with the business end of a shotgun. Caution should be taken when dealing with a man singing kumbaya with his customer on mute with a nervous tick with the barrel of a shotgun stuck up his arse. But then again it could be a casual dress day at work.

Sounds pretty normal to me, actually.

Yup Normal. You have to be crazy or desperate to take this job and even crazier to stay.

[swwinchester.livejournal.com]

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me ...

Crazy would be if after work, your friend went home to his little white house, with a little white picket fence to his wife and kids and had a happy evening helping his kids with their homework, playing board games and rounds of "Catch" with a a football or baseball. Then sleeping in the bed next to his wifes bed.

That would be down right weird.

At a nameless place I used to work for, my co-worker once got so pissed at a customer that he politely asked them to hold on as he had to go check something out in the Colo room . . and went to Wendy's to pickup a bite to eat. He pushed the hold button, set the phone down ( as I'm peering at him with interest ) and then asks me casually If I wanted anything. I said no, and he walked out. I kinda looked at the phone, snickered and went back to the long lift of things that needed fixing. When he got back about 30 mins later, he sat down, started to eat and then picked the phone back up and said " ok, did that fix your problem ? " . . .

I had to walk into the colo I started laughing so hard.

We had a guy make a dispatch for a customer, leave them on hold for approval, then go to the bathroom.

30 minutes later, he comes back, realizes he's got someone on hold STILL, and gets back on with him without missing a beat.

This is also the guy who left his phone in available status and went home one night. That's right, 9 hours of back to back calls. And he's still got a job O_O
