There is such a thing as a dumb question, but that's only if it should have been obvious.

Have seen it around, and have been intending to post it: if there's anything that's been confusing you about me/my life/my journal, go ahead and ask already! Obviously if it's the sort of question that's being asked just for the purposes of being a dick, I'll make with the smackdown, but by and large the denizens of the community that's sprung up around my journal don't get off on being a dick in people's journals.

So. Got confusion? Make with the questions, and I'll make with the answers. Even if it's the sort of thing that's "oh, of course" to me, it probably isn't to you, because you're not in my head!

this is fairly inane, but, where do you work exactly? a call centre?

[azurelunatic]

Yes. We do market research in the form of phone polls.

I suffer from a fluid job description and a lot of cross-training, so it is possible to see me on the phones on Monday, doing QA monitoring on Tuesday, keeping track of attendance and person-hours per survey on Wednesday, wandering around the phone center and answering questions, handing out papers, and making myself useful on Thursday, assisting with a training class on Friday, running jobs on Saturday, and in back copying disks and poking at random spreadsheets and doing strange drudge-work for Management for 16 hours on Sunday.

Though I don't take extra days on the phones very often, and the attendance/hours spreadsheet stuff got distributed amongst the supervisors running jobs, so I'm not likely to be doing that so much anymore. Though I am likely to be seen training other supervisors on how to use the hours spreadsheet in the next little bit.

Main attractive features of my job:
a) It's close to home.
b) It was recommended to me by a schoolmate when I first showed up and was in need of a job.
c) The barrier to entry to the job is very, very low, see above point.

I don't think I've got any questions, but I do find myself hoping someone dickish does show up because I'd pay a dollar to watch you make with the smackdown!

The usual responses are along the lines of "Well, aren't you cute. Banninated!"
