This is exciting

Okay here it is....My first day at my new job complete WITH PICTURES!!!

I am now a dispatch operator for a large company that owns everything including the Queen's underwear. One of the things they do is cable. Tv, internet, HDTV crap etc.

I work in a room 12 feet by 12 feet. No window. Completely white walls with no decoration. No radio, tv, or anthing exciting to lok at other than my own belly button.

I sit at a desk and tell about 30 guy swhere they need to go. Literally. I text message and talk on the phone. I schedule the guys appt's for the day. Doesnt that sound THRILLING?

No? Well here's the thrilling part. And in order to properly express it i will use an incident that happened.

2 weeks ago my trainer-lady Q scheduled K for 10 jobs one day. K decided he didnt want to leave town and refused all 10 jobs. (Lets keep in mind these guys get paid piece work. The more jobs the more money). Q reported him to his supervisor where he was suspended for one week. This did not endear K to Q at all.

So my first day started off with Q giving K his jobs for the day. He sent a text : Why did you over book me?

Q: I did not overbook you. In fact you have room for 4 more jobs

K: Screw you. You are lying to me

Some time later another job came in and Q gave it to K.

K: when did this job come in?

Q: Right now

K: You are lying to me again. I hate it when you lie. You suck.

Q is understandably angry at this.

Q: Well if he wants to be a prick, lets show him ow much of a prick I can be. (As she smiles evillish-ly)

Q then takes away most of his London jobs. And gives him this schedule:

London, Woodstock, Stratford, London, St. Thomas, Woodstock, London.

These guys get paid squat for travel time so they really want a bunch of jobs in one area.

He gets angry and then quits.

So the general rule of this job is: Be nice to the dispatch person. We can seriously fuck you over. Q tells me that not all the guys seem to realize this and treat us like crap. Even after we screw with their schedules. They dont like the fact that a woman is telling them what to do and where to go. Some guys just dont learn.

Here are some fantastic pics of my first day:

The magical box of kleenex that grants wishes. The cell phone that our OVERLORD provides. They all look the same. And i have exact same one. So you can imagine the confusion.

The grapes I was offered. The very very very sweet tea that I was also offered. I drank it. Not too bad.
