My cat most certainly wasn't happy with me when I dressed him up as Santa and took this, but that cat definitely has it worse though!

Don’t laugh. Many people gain copious amounts of weight from eating ice as well as grapes.

Hold up. Did this dude actually just complain about the stress of working in a call center? They expected too much out of him? Try teaching virtually AND in person AT THE SAME TIME during a freaking pandemic you whiny twat! I want to smack him. 😤

end rant. 

Well, I worked in a call center for a cell phone company (now long defunct, VoiceStream Wireless if any of you had them in 2001).  Inbound calls for everything from sales to billing to minor tech support.  I can't tell you how much general assholery and abuse I got to hear.  When I switched to retail, for a good year and a half I thought everyone was awfully nice - and everyone who has ever worked retail knows that customers suck.  So a call center is no cakewalk.  Out of my training class of 20 people, only 2 stayed after 3 months (they gave everyone who lasted 3 months $450 bonus, so I quit after 3 months and 2 weeks, as soon as I got the bonus check).  And that's despite them offering full medical and dental benefits, uncommon for low-wage no educational requirements job (and they paid $3/hour more than my retail job!).

I’m sorry, it won’t read your weight today. Or any other day! 
He needs to go to the highway weigh station…

Or to the recycling center, like that woman on the other fatty show.

about half of the people in Maine wear shorts and flip flops year round. It's a weird cold state thing.

I wear flip flops until there's snow on the ground.

I rushed from a Zoom party for this sludge.

This is so boring, I am about to call @aliya to talk about what is happening on QVC!! 🤣

My computer was giving me problems and I had to reboot. I don't think I've missed anything. My sister has already called me about the weather, so I think she's good for tonight.

While I was doing that, the sister missionaries called to check in. I had to let it ring. It's hard to say, "I can't chat because my show is on."

Ditto on call centers...they are awful. The customers are entitled asses, the metrics (length of calls, number of calls, number of refunds given, minutes spent in the bathroom) are a hopeless. losing battle.  I used to carry razor blades in my purse so that I always had the option of killing myself instead of clocking in.  Really.

Poor Ryan. He doesn’t like Dr. Now’s rules. 

Yeah, cry me a river, Tubby. 

When you get used to eating lots of fresh vegetables and whatnot, you do miss them if you don't have them. I ate in restaurants for two days in a row this week and was positively fainting for some salad.

I worked for 6 weeks  for our campus IT call center when we went remote in March 2020. 6 weeks of hellscape. I was a fucking volunteer and I'm faculty and students would bitch at me thinking I was just a drone. I could never do it for realz
