Tonight I’m Not Takin’ No Calls Cause I’ll Be Dancin’
I’ve been happily unemployed for one week as of today. Goodbye Asurion! My God, what a relief. I’d just had enough. 3 1/2 years at a call center is pretty good. Statistically I outlasted a lot of people, haha. I did try to switch departments, to get off the phones, but that means the QA department, and they just “downsized” and sent a bunch of their reps back onto the phones. So, I quit. My job wasn’t bad, I was 3rd level support, make my own authoritative decisions (not to mention a company credit card – ask me if I almost didn’t come home from NYC last time I was there, HAHA). But, I just couldn’t do it anymore. I’m burnt out.
News didn’t travel as fast as I thought it would. LOL Usually gossip travels through a call center at about the speed of light. I think it’ s because I’ve been working form home for the past year and a half, so no one sees me anyways, so how would they know if I’m not there. It took ym QA rep 5 days to realize I was gone (of course they didn’t tell him I left, lol).
I wasn’t too surprised when I was told to return my computer, although a month ago there were a bunch of changes to the Asurion @home program, and all at home reps were told they could keep their computers, that they were ours to do what we wanted with. I didn’t argue it, because it wasn’t worth the time and stress, and frankly the computer was pretty crappy. My home pc and laptop are much better machines. And, I really don’t want yet more computer parts kicking around my basement! *shudder*
So, now I’m not sure what I want to do. I’ve been applying at places, had a couple of interviews, but no offers yet. I’m not in a panic about it, we’re financially secure, but I do need to get a job eventually if we want to keep our vacation plans for the fall. For now though, I’m enjoying the nice weather, and weekends off. And I’m getting into a better sleeping pattern. It gets depressing going to bed when the sun is getting up. I’m so much more productive if I go to bed early and get up early! I’m going to take advantage of my time off and do some spring cleaning. There’s so much crap in the kitchen alone that I can think of off the top of my head. Gotta get on that!
Good Luck! Your Europe trip sounds awesome!
