[Sweet and Sour CSR]

Hello All!!

I'm Mel, a (mostly) sweet girl, who has worked in the service of customers for all of my working life. (that's 10 years for those counting: shudders

I currently reside in a tiny cubicle where I assist elderly people with their insurance policies. Most days I LOVE my job. I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't, but there are some SCs that can even make me lose my smile. Which is why I'm here. The stories are priceless. I just wish more customers had an opportunity to be on the other side of the phone/name tag/ smock.. what have you.


I'm 27, married with no children, and slowly but surely working my way up the corperate ladder.

So there's my intro... hope you enjoyed it.

oh yeah, I was supposed to say something interesting about myself..... um... I'm a leap year baby. there.

i will eventually, with my inferior intelligence, open a call center that has a bar with a one shot minimum, and a free shot tequila everytime taxes made someone's bill spike or we didn't tell them they will not have a phone soon because the bill was not paid in six months! Also, we will feature exercise equipment of your choice at your workstation, sponsored by Everlast.
