h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

If im not being too cheeky id like to know the different occupations of my fellow guiders.

im a csr (customoer services rep) or call center monkey as i get called....well my mates sometimes call me it.....if i pay them a fiver...*sighs*

well any-hoo i work for a company called garlands, and more to the point work for one of garlands clients namely vodafone.

i have the very exiting job of porting and migrating numbers from external sp's
i.e o2, t-mobile, three, orange etc

internal sp's people who are from vodafone already but with one of our many sp's.
i.e PAYT, CPW, 4U, project telecom.


and now you all hate me because i work in a call center.

I too work in a call centre, and my depatrment is about to close....I'll end up somewhere horrible and I'll be really sad . Or I could leave????? Oh the endless possibilites

hmm get yourself transferred to a different call center

Hang on, I'll put you through...

so what do you do fathom?

That's a bit of a sore point since I'm about to be made redundant.

I'm an admin manager. Nothing very exciting.

F

Aah another call centre....NO NO NO I need a change, somewhere where I will make a difference...maybe.

I'm a student nurse (paediatrics), but used to be a HCA in an Emergency Department. I feel I should be a call-centre opeartive though
PGHF

im goin for a job in my local pub when i turn 18 so ill work the call center which i hate and in a pub straight after which i love *hic*

I'm a network administrator. Depending on which way you look at it you'll either say I'm paid to be evil, talk gobbledygook, play around with expensive toys all day, or a mixture of some/all of those.

Not so good at the being evil though

I'm an employment relations officer for a union although we are more than just a union and I would be lynched in some quarters for calling myself a union man(sic)

turvy

I'm a full-time student
And a part-time call-centre worker
(Direct Line. God, how boring...)

I sit in front of a computer all day translating French techno-babble into English techno-babble - half the time without knowing what the heck I'm actually talking about

The most fun bit is trying to get your head around the changes in work... One day I'm supposed to be an expert in the technicalities of cross-country skiing, the next I'm working on reports on the testing of Very High Voltage Switchgear and the next I'm writing maintenance manuals for buses!

I'm a PA to the Group Financial Controller of a Chemical Company

I am a sugar processor, very probably the only woman in Australia who is one
my propper title is Level 5 Effets Operator.......

I'd love to have sugar processor on my CV, I could eat sweets all day long

yeah but the lack of teeth might stop you from doing stuff

Footy, if you knew how sugar is made you wouldn't want to eat it,(dirty, rotten, smelly, stuff) an we only produce raw sugar anyway............

don't mind me just had a really bad day in hell

All this could explain why every time I ring a call centre, I can never get through - you're all playing on hootoo!

As I believe is reasonably well-known, I am a teacher.

sorry master b but its so boring you wouldnt begrudge us the honour of talking to you now wouldya



enjoying you holidays mb? i think its rather shocking that you would all palm the kids off onto theyre parents during what should be school hours and doll it up with a fancy name "half term"


im jus kiddin, what dya teach?
