I'm surprisingly not in a horrible mood
Well so far I've been on the phone for two hours today, taken a couple of useless escalations and a couple of needless questions, but for some reason it just doesn't seem to matter. Maybe it's finally setting in and my brain has become decensitized to reps who make me do their jobs. I guess my body has finally run out of chemicals to pump through my brain to keep me happy (otherwise known as endorphins) and I'm slowly slipping into a conscious coma. I know that's kind of an oxymoron, but working with and for these customers does strange things to you.
In any event, I'm strangely content with the calls I've taken and my job at the moment. Anyone else think I should seek an immediate psychiatric evaluation?

now, are you either on a large amount of legal drugs, or a small amount of illegal drugs, no matter which way, i am deeply disturbed on the absolute neutrality of this statement, one would almost surly be as shocked at your sudden passive nature as it would be for an ocean liner to fly!!!
or maybe your tired?

Nope, I sotally tober... 🤣 No I'm not tired or influenced in any way that's not all natural. 😉 These people really just don't worry me anymore, I've just become Mr. Monotone-Scripted-Policy$Procedure Man. The only call that was different was the man who constantly screamed and cussed at me. I told him I would no longer tolerate that type of language and he told me he wasn't going to tolerate me before hanging up. He still didn't even make me cuss about him afterward.

Really, dude, take some vacation time, your losing your edge, its kinda scary
...
I'm out of vacation time. It may be because I haven't gotten to go fishing yet since it's started warming up. I've either been too sick to move or too busy to breathe every day that it's been nice. Then again, I very well may be tired of verbally abusing people without their knowledge, it's no fun that way. I'm just going to regurgitate policy at people until they hang up, cancel, or agree to what I have to offer.

First few months I was on the floor customers and certain calls got to me really bad, even to the point of sheding a few tears (which I know, is rediculous, but I am an emotional person) but after a few months I just became completley numb and dont give a f*** anymore. I have become a script with a fake voice and forced politeness.
Gotta do your job, gotta be here 8 hours a day... gotta find some way to get through it and if completley detatching works, so be it!

Oh I know. 4/20 will be a year and a half with this company. Now that makes me shed a tear. [runs off sobbing]
...
dont feel so bad, i just passed my 3 1/2 year mark, now THAT is a heart wrenching epiphany, i felt like holding my self up in my room, going into the fetal position and sobbing, but in stead i poped open a beer and wondered: "why?"
...
I don't think its just you. Maybe its just the fact that Ive been putting in 60 hour weeks between this job and school for the last 8 months, but im so burnt out there are days I cant even be bothered coming in to work. Even when Im here, Im not really paying attention, and though unlike about 80% of reps I know how to do my job well, Ive just stopped bothering for the most part. Im a few days short of a year working here, and thats been about 11 months too long. Time to find a real job...
