1. A rolling chair I could never get exactly the right height. Spin right, spin left, spin right again…always just a little bit off.
2. Industrial carpet.
3. Staring at a beige wall eight hours a day.
4. Job stats dropping if I had to pee when it wasn’t my lunch break.
5. Stale recirculated air pumping out Eau de Depression.
6. The phone that never.ever.stopped.ringing.
7. Aggressively belligerent callers.
8. An impossible need for caffeine complicated by #4.
9. Being on constant display. No place to hide is an introvert’s nightmare.
10. Minutes of the day passed like drowning in quicksand. Ugh.
Riddle from the Middle 
I worked in a call center during a company wide strike. I never felt so depressed in my life. 10 hours a day of problems and a supervisor who was four levels below me telling me my Average Handle Time sucked.

All of that and more. It’s the only job I’ve ever dropped on a dime. When my supervisor called me on the carpet for clocking in 2 minutes early from lunch I had it. Gave my two week notice that same day.

It served as a paycheck for a few years but wasn’t the life for me.
