As The Caffeine Wore Off…
At one point or another I think all of us at 9to5 (dot cc) worked in a call center. Except maybe Walter. He worked at the newspaper.
Sitting in a cubicle, answering one call after another from an automated queue. Helping customers with… whatever the hell it is that customers want help with.
There are times where it almost seems like you’re doing something worthwhile. Where knowing that your handle time is way above average, knowing that there are no calls waiting on hold for more than 5 minutes.
It almost seems meaningful.
And then the caffeine wears off.
As always, please tell your friends about this comic and this website. Every time you share a post, Sophie gets another set of wings. Soon she will transcend into her final form. Which I presume is kind of a heavy-metal dark Seraph of some kind.
Keith does all sorts of things here on 9to5.cc, he works with the other founders on 9to5 (illustrated), co-hosts our two podcasts: The 9to5 Entertainment System and Go Plug Yourself and blogs here as The Perspicacious Geek.
Jon is a Master of Dungeons of the highest caliber. He podcasts with me over on 9to5 Entertainment System and occasionally blogs here in Jon’s Junk.
Sophie does all of the arts on 9to5 illustrated and blogs weekly about her adventures with beer in The Ignorant Beer Review.
