pressure!

Working in a whole new environment and type of job that I really was not prepared for made me realize that no job is an easy job.
People seem to have this belief that working in a call center is easy, the hard part is just the night shift but actually it's not all the glamorous. For me the turning one's self into an owl(sleeping in the day and awake at night) is not worth it. Plus you really don't earn that much.What we the transpo,food and clothes you have to buy and have washed coz you don't have a uniform.
Yeah right...no uniform but have to wear business casual, so one needs to buy more clothes so as not to keep wearing the same clothes every week and fade them out. More blouses,slacks, black shoes and heels...grrr!Things that I don't want to be wearing always!
Plus the pressure...of hitting the goals...helping with the teams variance and all that. Listening to irate callers,"slow" and sometimes callers who are not using their common sense. Thank God I haven't encountered obscene callers,rude yes but bastos not yet and hopefully never.
Hopefully I'll last long enough not to disappoint my family and friends.
This simply is not the kind of job for me. It's hard for me to be short or impatient with people especially the elderly.
I will survive and work hard given the time frame I have given myself.
