Hey hey. My name is Dan, and I used to work in a call centre. We used get people every day yelling and screaming at us as if thier problem with the company is OUR fault. It's not, so I used this here space as a place to let y'all know what it was like. Now, as of late July 2005, I work in a record store. Which means more of my rants, and this time with extra VVVVVOLUME!!! Woooooo.

music: NIN Mr Self Destruct

Well. Now that THAT is all out of the way, I can begin the blog-o-awesomeness proper. You know, I didn't realise that the email thing was working. I don't have the patience to sit around for 5 or so hours to wait for a blog to appear, so I assumed it wasn't working. Modern kids/MTV generation/ADHD. Whatever.

So anyway. Introduction proper. I work in a call centre... which, for the time being, is going to be the primary focus of just WHY I write this blog. I've done the personal, no-holds-barred diary blog before, and this here is NOT a redux of that; it's a new thing. But being who I am, who knows what the future holds. So yeah... to put it in a nut type shell, this'll be 'primal' scream therapy blog-style for a guy who works in a call centre. What kind of call centre you ask? Well... I tossed and turned for nights deciding whether to reveal such information, and how (un)specific I should be... well... not really. I discussed it with my gf over a few sips of wine, and thought, I couldn't tell a story at all without revealing the nature of my employer's business, so yeah. It's a power company. But that is all I shall say for now, mmkay? Mmkay.

And right now, I'm on annual leave... hence, I have the time to spend setting up a blog that uses a highly customizable yet un-beginner-friendly setup system. Err, I mean, I'm on annual leave so there's no immediate stories to tell. That, and it's 7.46pm on New Years Eve in my country, so yeah. I'm eating pizza and drinking whatever the hell is in that glass to my right.
