Your Lies Do Not Impress Me
Wednesday, June 17, 2009 13:22 | 67 viewsI know the job I have is probably the shittiest jobs on the go, but I let people know that. I don’t hide the fact that I work in a crappy call center. It sucks that I work in one, but I don’t go around making shit up to try and make people think I’m better than they are.
I guess what I’m saying is, I am not impressed with what you did or what you SAY you did or can do. Not a lot of things impress me by just somebody saying they did this or that, or that they can do this or that.
However, if you said you could do 40 back-flips and then demonstrated that you can do 40 back-flips by actually doing 40 back-flips in front of me, then fuck yea! I would be impressed. But if you just say you can or you could do 40 back-flips without showing that you can actually do it, then I don’t really give a shit and don’t want to hear your bullshit.
If it makes you feel better to make up bullshit stories then you have self esteem issues you need to take care of or you’re going to end up feeling even shittier wen you realize you’re bullshit stories are just that…. Stories. And you’ll realize that you wasted your time bullshitting instead of actually doing.
That reminds me of a saying my Friend quoted on Facebook. “Grow, or go”
I realize that I don’t have the most glorious job in the world, but I don’t go around denying that with bullshit stories. I have done a few things in my past that have actually impressed people. But I showed proof of that. I just didn’t say shit and not provide proof or demonstrate what I said I did or have done. I wish I could get a real job doing the stuff I want but I haven’t gotten lucky with landing a job doing that. YET.
I’m hearing people, or I have people telling me that they are Aviation Instructors, have several businesses and are setting up other people in businesses, some say they’re Super Models, some say their actors, and so on. All these people have these alternate glamorous lifestyles or have these very rare talents or degrees and yet they work in a fucking call center.
I know I say I design web sites and stuff, but yet I’m working in a fucking call center, but I am applying for jobs that I qualify for and unfortunately never get because there are a lot of other people with the same experience or have more. But these people have experience or talents that are rare and could probably land a better job than a fucking call center. OH, and I should mention that some of these people are kids, or look like they just got out of prison, or are an extra in some Redneck Trailer Park Beer Movie.
You just know they’re full of shit. But you refrain from telling them that and let them live in their little fantasy world. But lately, I’m getting overwhelmed with bullshit stories that I might eventually just tell them to shut the fuck up and stop talking bullshit to me.

A couple of us at work would like to occasionally say “shut the fuck up” to our co-workers, but it’s for a different reason than you. Wouldn’t it be nice to have that freedom without the risk of being fired? Instead, we just exchange emails back & forth so that we can get it off our chests

IMA PIMP IMA PIMP!!!!!!!
how fucking pathetic. working at a call centre and trying o pull a bullshit hat over your head that they own thier own businesses? “Yeah i own my own businesses, i just do this phone jockey shit for something to do.”
imbeciles.remember Stinky Steve John? now that fucking dude could lie. He’d tell you he was smoking a bong on the space shuttle yesterday at lunch, but you’d remember you were with him at the KFC!

Your call center must really suck! Most of them do. I hope that you can find something that sucks less.

@skye – This post was my way to get it off my chest. I knew it would trigger a few comments as I can imagine that everybody puts up with this bullshit.
I wish I could tell a few customers that call in to me to , “Shut the Fuck Up!” without getting fired. If I could, I would LOVE THIS JOB!!
@Uhh Yeah – LOL! I laughed my ass off when I read this at work.
And yea I remember stinky Steve. He had his own yacht to sail down bullshit river.
@MrCorey – Yea it sucks. Its A/C was barely working so it was like a gazillion degrees in there today. Things might be changing for the better there as they are hiring two more classes next month so my hors should get better. Not holding my breath though. And if I don’t get fired or let go before that happens because they keep scheduling me past 10pm when the last bus is at 10pm. I think they expect me to walk from work in the middle of the night all the way home. YEA Riiiiiight!
So I leave a bit early and they write me up for it, even after I requested that they at least meet me half way. Ahh, F’ it. To much drama.

Mac, it’s not just you… I work w/ someone (that shall go unnamed) that would kill-over if he had to bend over to pick up something off the floor. Yet he claims that he’s a black-belt and actively practices his art. Amazing.

@Butch – LOL! That’s a good one! OMG Thats a funny one!

@Butch
Next time he claims this ask him if he received his black belt with a happy meal from the McDojo.

@Uhh Yeah – LOL @ McDojo
