December 10, 2004Connection2 - WORK
Well, well, well, I finally found a job after coming back from Europe with the boyz and being jobless for 3 weeks (I walked the whole of Dublin city every day and raided the library!) My position is as a Team Leader for a call centre for a company who sends out technicians to install home PCs to UK customers. Ok, so i dont understand 3/4 of the customers I speak to (ESPECIALLY Scottish! ugh me laddies) but its a pretty cool job with a pretty cool crew... Theres Emma, Nick and Steph at the moment, we all get along pretty good. Nicks a DJ after hours and made fun of me cos I dont know who the A-TEAM are...same with Courtenay and also Craig, umm, ok, so all the guys made fun of me cos I dont know who they are..noice one brotha! now i do, Nick explained it to me, theres these 4 guys right...one is black with a huge mohawk and 23,908 gold chains around his neck and he is a tough guy right, and thats about all i know really...ah well this info is as useless as a chocolate teapot I say Apparently, one of their "famous" sayings is "ON THE JAZZ" Nick is now sitting next to me...being a complete idiot and singing "on the Jazz" "on the Jazz" sheesh, im glad I dont know the A-TEAM now cos knowing me ill prob be singing with him.... Im sitting here at work...Simon and Craig are sitting across from me Simon is singing, like a girl...umm, yep...Nick next to me on the phone with a customer, Ems gotten up to get some tea, I think I will as well, I need my daily fruit dose... anyway, figuring out where to go out tomorrow night, hmmm, maybe rnb again, i think Anita liked one of the bouncers there! haha oh well...see what the weekend brings, its 4.04pm now so nearly over... I found a wooden BOOMERANG with Australia written on it in our Connection2 office...Ive now taken ownership of it and its stuck on my pin board right infront of me! I feel like im home already...ohhhhhhhh....how sweet.... It feels wierd here actually...I hear all these people around me with accents and stuff and I feel like THEY are the odd ones out, but actually, I AM! my accent is wierd for them and im like no, u guys are wierd not me, but seriously Jazz, youre out numbered here! its so cool hearing peoples accents here, im loving it, you pass by people on the streets and hear them talking in their irish accents and its so cool! i keep looking around and thinking how damn lucky I am to be here...seriously, I look up at Christchurch Cathedral everyday and thank God that I had this oppourtunity to do this, you know even if I went home now id be thankful and im glad I didnt back out, I was so scared before leaving but its always that first step that is the hardest but after that it just keeps getting easier and better... So, 365ITLIVE, theres Barry who is the big boss, then Alan and theres Nick Everett who we work with he is the boss in Oxford, London looking after the warehouse there and the technicians, he is pretty cool, they all are actually. Simon Clarke and Craig Malton came over from London and they will be here for about 6 months I think helping us out setting up the website for our call centre and helping out with getting rid of these manual scheduling that we have to do with the spreadsheets, very annoying! really frustrating and a lot of mistakes can be made, I think the new system will definatley help us but finding the postcodes of each place and lining them up with a technician so they dont have to travel far is pretty hard work and very difficult to navigate, anyway, we'll see how it goes I guess...
