Oh sweet a screamer
:V I'm sorry I can't finish this today, I need to get a new ID file and the person who generates these typically leaves around 3:30pm
>:( SO MY NEW MACHINE DOESN'T WORK?!
:V No sir, I can't do anything until I get the ID file
>:( WELL WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HAVE ME WAIT 4 HOURS BEFORE YOU CALLED ME BACK?! YOU COULD HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT HOURS AGO
:ohdear: Sir there's only one of me and I get 40-50 calls a day and I get to them in the order I receive them
>:( YEAH BUT I CALLED HOURS AGO WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU CALL ME BACK?
:ohdear: Because I get calls all through the day, if another call comes in right after I can't just hang up on them.
>:( YOU BET YOUR ASS YOU SHOULD HAVE! I GOT HERE FIRST YOU NEED TO FIX MY SHIT FIRST!
:ohdear: Well I can't do anything now sir, I won't get an ID file until tomorrow.
>:( I'M CALLING YOUR MANAGER I WANT YOUR ASS FIRED FOR THIS INCOMPETENCE
Thank god I already put in my 2 weeks and I'm getting the fuck out of here.

Can it really be called a "living"? It sounds more like a "Slowly dying"

Awesome, phone ringing at 4:29pm, boss is in the room looks at me
:derp: Are you going to answer it?
:V No it's 4:29pm.
:derp: You better answer the phone or else.
:V Or else.... they call back tomorrow?
Gives me a real serious look so I goto answer it and whoops goes to voicemail sorry.
Menorah Jams, Pham:
I've perfected the focused, concentrated look and demeanor so that I can look like I'm in the middle of something at all times.
:ohdear: Hey Mike, you in the middle of something?
8) Crap, crap... one sec...
:ohdear: When you're done.
8) Is this critical? I gotta get this one right after I'm done with this.
:ohdear: Oh, no worries. Hey, Phil...
And yeah, I think I've perfected the art of call dodging as soon as 4:45 rolls around.

I used to wear my headset around my neck all the time and pretend I was on the call. That worked for a week but my boss is an ass and now asks me to do things anyways and gets pissed at me when I tell him I'm on a call.
Best part is when they're having a problem and my call is in a lull I'll try to help and he'll yell at me "aren't you on a call finish that!"
If I don't drop everything he gets pissed and if I try to multitask I get yelled at. Awesome.
