The horror!

Hmm. I don't know how long this will last, but I saw all the cool people creating blogs, and I didn't want to feel so left out.

Stuff going on in my life is a little slow right now. A couple of weeks ago I quit this place I had been working at for almost two years. It feels SO good to leave there. Don't get me wrong, the people I worked with are awesome and I will really miss them a lot, but the actual job was just kind of sucky. I was working on the Mexico team as customer service, but they also had me on two other queues, meaning not only was I taking inbound customer service calls coming from Mexico, but also when the Mexico line wasn't busy, I recieved calls from the US in English and Spanish. I was constantly taking call after call, with no break in between. I didn't mind it so much at first, but everyone around me had a lot less that they were expected to do, while making the same amount of pay. They would get a call every 5-10 minutes, while I took a call as soon as I hung up with the one I was just on. It wasn't very fair in my opinion. On top of that, I never recieved a raise or performance review the entire time I was there. But such is life. Blah, long story short, I quit the job ha-ha.
