Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, i have been working at the AYras for more than two months now. The job has been an eye-opener for me. It's amazing that i have to talk to strangers everyday and help solve their problems when i would normally not give two hoots abt them if i passed them on the streets. I shall now categorise callers into five groups.
1) The polite Hushed and Hesitant
These are the ones who give the least problems to the person answering the their calls. With whispering unsure tones, their queries always have straight out obvious answers, and their calls never last more than you want it to. And they'll never fail to thank you for your kind help.
2)The thirty-Forties
Middle-aged men/women, who talk in loud voices and laugh incessantly at their own jokes. They are a lovable bunch. They display the usaul antics of asking you for your full name as well as innocently hinting that they'll write to the ST forum to somplain abt you if anything went wrong. In response you'll have to laugh as incessantly as them and offer them a lollipop to calm them down.
3)The cowards
These are the people who you'd really like to ask them to grab their own head and bang it against the table, thank you! These complainers, would give you a earful, and when it's time for them to declare their proud name, they'll very politely hang up the phone. Aren't you just proud of these people. Their parents brought them up really well.
4) The Plain unreasonable
There's nothing really much to say about this people except that they are absolutely hundred percent right always, and will never ever in a gazillion years ever be wrong on anything. They are so right in everything they say that we must bow down to them and slowly exit with our back facing the door, while they carry on raving abt how very right they are.
5) The Loooooong winded.
These people i notice (ahem) have a certain trend. I shall not say too much of them except i am VERY afraid of them. My call never seem to end with them on the other end of the line. A simple 5 mins explaination may be expertly be dragged on to a 20 mins call (GOd knows how they Do It!!) I should take them as my SIFu in conversation making. They'll excel if ever there is a competition of longest conversation spoken.
There are actually many other types of callers, but mainly these are the few. Here i thank the 90 percent of callers who make my job enjoyable. Stepping into working life, has indeed widened my perspective. In my opinion, Having an office job for temp is good. but for life?? It is really outta the question.
