GfK	I used to work in a call centre for British Gas. The most unrewarding, soul-destroying job I've ever had. They train you to be a robot, and if you dare to NOT be a robot, the supervisors come along and bollock you. I dared to speak to a woman about bad things in her personal life - seem to recall her husband had died quite recently. Was on to her for about 45 minutes - more than half of that was dealing with whatever it was she'd rung up for - didn't matter cos it was summer and there wasn't a call queue. Got off the phone, next day - BOSH - formal warning! VE HAF TO TURN ZE CALLZ AROUND WIZHIN SIX MINUTES AND YOU ARE NOT MEETING ZE TARGETZ! glove face-slap I say fuck call targets! Be human and folk will remember you. Be a scripted robot and you're just another brainless cunt they've spoken to who didn't give a crap. When you're driving to work every morning, hoping the fucking place has burned to the ground during the night, and contemplating binning your car up a tree when you see that it hasn't, you really need a career change. I stuck it for 18 months. And yes I deserve a fucking medal. 30 other people started the same day as me, and when I quit, I was the last to go.

HoboBen	I still suck at graphics, but I've started learning how to use tools like Inkscape! This took me three days and has room for improvement but I'm proud of it anyway! -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code
