Remembering the Brotherhood of Yo & Koosh

Almost everyone that reads this & other sites on the 'net have either worked at, or have dealt with someone working at a call center. It is not easy to spend from 8 to 12+ hours a day getting yelled at, assuming the brunt of others anger, try to fix what is wrong, & being personally accused of violating child labor laws. {the customer put his son on the phone to fix the computer @ 12:30am, not me. But I was referred to as a slave driver, etc.}..

So anyway, I was digging around to find some equipment that I needed for my current job and found an unmarked box. I dug it out & opened it and found some of the things that helped to keep me from gassing up the truck & hunting down the assholes I had to deal with on the phones when I was still 'part of the herd'.

Many people do not realize that when they call in to get something fixed, replaced, or need help turning on/using, the object that inevitably they fucked up. It is not smart to threaten the person on the other end of the line.

WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE! BE AFRAID, BE VERY, VERY AFRAID . . . .

Aside from common sense, {sometimes not}, the biggest thing that keeps us from tracking you down, ruining your credit report, {you do have a time-share in New Guinea now}, and possibly putting you on the data base as a sexual threat to small Llammas & Lemurs,

Is that we have toys.

I found my Yo-yo's, Klicks, velcro darts, my sticky lizzards, & other sundry things that kept me from hitting the "TELE-TAZER" button to retaliate against the current moron that could not understand that:

• You have to have an active phone line in order to use your modem
• The police will not show up because you have "an illegal error" on your screen
• If the power is off/disconnected, your computer will not turn on
• It is not our responsibility to reset your screensaver back from the slideshow of gay-porn you downloaded from a buddy before your wife & kids see it {poor little kittens}
• When it says "hit any key", the 'anykey' is NOT the blank key in the middle of the arrows. It MEANS "any key on the damn keyboard" just grab the back of your neck & slam your forehead on the keyboard. Trust me, that will take care of the error EVERY TIME!

So we have our toys to satisfy & redirect anger, boredom, & utter perplex of stupidness, in order to serve you better. {and stay out of federal prison}

Just an hint though. Don't try to do an "around the world" with a yo-yo that has a 4.5 year old string without proper safety gear & removing breakables from the area prior.

I can't wait until I find my juggling torches again.

Blessed Be, Dr. S.
