    I was the kid, mom was working in a call center

    I learned that people suck, and I still hate talking on the phone.

    I also learned sudoku because you have to do something between calls.

        I’ve done a couple tours myself, it’s no picnic

        I feel it’s one of those jobs that everyone should do at some point in their life. That or customer / food service. Either exposes you to some of the rudest, most entitled people, and if everyone had that exposure I feel there’d be more empathy to go around

        I tell you though, hearing people yell at your mom all day is great motivation to stay in school to find a better job
