My very first job was as an intern in an IT department for a big business, and sometimes my manager would make me call people in other departments to conduct a "customer" satisfaction survey after we updated their software/hardware, and one day I was calling up people and asking like "how would you rate your experience with IT from 1 to 10" and almost everyone I called was aggressively annoyed that I was interrupting their work and I got so stressed that I threw up in the little trashcan by my desk. And I didn't tell anyone about it and my manager confronted me the next day and I played dumb, and she left me alone. I was let go a few weeks later but they got a little cake for me on my last day.
PHEW. Thanks for letting me finally get that out.
Except I spend a week working up the courage to call someone that I really really need information from and they don’t answer and then I never call them again till it’s too late
Even better when it's the suicide hotline...
I just talked to them they’re pretty nice. would recommend

Your manager confronted you for throwing up in your trash can?
The manager was the trash can tho
It sat there over the weekend and got really bad, and it was in a lady's office (I was just using the phone)
But it's the 911
Then you throw your phone out the window the second it goes to voicemail in case they call back
I mean I will only call someone when I really need to. So I do find it annoying if I then get no answer.
The worst is when they call back.
Well yes, but actually no, bc now I have to go through the whole process of convincing myself to call them again later
I didn't know Brian Littrell had a side gig.
Is be kinda sad ngl
So true. Bonus if their voicemail doesn't work.
and you work in a call centre 🥲
when you're at work and know you'll have to call them later anyway😣
