How doos people, I hope you're all well
I've not been on here for a little while as I've been busy getting my new life in Prague in order, sorting things like job, flat, bank acocunts and the like.
I've been working in an outsourced call centre here in Prague calling the wonderful (oh how i wish that was true) British public to sell them BT broadband. The hours have been a non-photography friendly 1:30-10pm and not being much of a mornings person I've been getting up, going work, coming home, eating then sleeping...repeat.. which hasn't left much time for photography :thumbsdown:
I have learnt a little from this job though...
1. women are the most rude and abrupt on the phone
2. a LOT of people in London don't even speak English
3. don't hang up on telesales, you'll just get put back in the system and called again, just politely hear them out and decline what they offer, it'll save you time in the long run.
4. a surprising number of people are "just going out the door", it's like the "my dog ate my homework" excuse, we know you're lying
5. some people ask a BT salesperson where we got their phone number from as they are ex-directory
6. Scottish people in my experience are more friendly
That's about all that comes to mind for now
The good news though is today I got a new job working for the same company as an analyst (timesheets, sales, general data reports), I get paid more and I work a more photography friendly 9:00-5:30.
My parents are also bringing the parts for my new computer over this weekend so I finally have something to put my photos on
Things are starting to fall into place finally, so you'll be seeing a bit more of me from now on
Just had to share
