Actually it’s 9 to 6 these days. Lunches are not usually paid any longer. But yes, office work is still a hell of a lot better than retail. I sometimes still miss “Bookers” though. Don’t really know why…
I was sacked from a call center job for being too friendly with customers, and not putting up with the abusive bullshit. “Unprofessional,” they said it was. When I told them it was probably the most soul-withering job I had ever had, they said “Well, this kind of work is not for everybody.” No, friends, this kind of work – basically retail without the face-to-face – is for nobody. No one should have to deal with abusive and ignorant customers. But many do, and I’m grateful for the people who are there for us, and I do my best to let them know.

She’s been beaten down by Grumbel’s for so long, that’s her default. It’s going to take time to heal.

Scott’s last appearance!
I will admit…it was an adjustment for me to move from fast food to office work. I quickly acclimated though.
