There is a difference between enjoying a smoke and being a rude idiot that is inconsiderate of others.

66618055 I kept putting off getting on. I was online on the CompuServe days before Prodigy or AOL. I had three different places to access the internet back in 1992. My catchphrase is “I am from the internet. I’m here to help.” I deeply miss Usenet.

I subscribe to over 200 podcasts. This was from Embrace the Void. Deep dives on the philosophy of sci-fi projects.

Did you remember that because you’ve watched that episode way too many times or because you listen to a certain philosophy podcast that used it in their bumper for a very long time?

I don’t know that the NRA can really be included in that anymore. The administration has been very clear that it does not support gun rights. And the NRA did speak up, as much as their completely depleted budget would allow, against any idea that you can’t bring a gun to a protest.
The problem, in part, is that the you, the NRA has been completely neutered. Not by the bureaucrats of New York. Not by the insurance agencies. Not gun owners that are members. But by their own corrupt policies that drained their resources dry.
The NRA is no longer a factor in anything. They created their own cold dead hands.

All that cellphone stuff and the defense contractor were all service/tech/helpdesk.
Much less script based. Maybe you get a script for day one of some launch but otherwise you are on your own in most competent operations once you are out of training and shadowing.
But in sales the script is god until you break free and hit those KPI.

Funny thing about that. One of my jobs was with the absolutely most rigid follow the script places to have ever existed. The radio ratings. Not only could you never not follow the script verbatim but between calls you could read nothing but the handbook. Countless people must have read this thing cover to cover over the years. But, apparently, not one person had ever understood what they were reading or proof read it. I found 21 errors. And in one of those errors was a little bit of text that explicitly stated to never read the script verbatim.
In most centers the follow the script thing is for newbies. Then you don’t meet the KPI numbers and they threaten you. Then people get desperate and stop following the script. If they get results then no one cares about the script anymore. The top performers never follow the script.
And as a general rule the absolute top performer not only doesn’t follow the script but is a compulsive liar. But they get results and the returns are justified by the sales.
Except at the radio ratings place. Follow the script or die. Even if the handbook has one tiny section that says don’t follow the script.

I left the building each day and left it behind me. One time my roommate worked at the same call center. I was so good about leaving work behind that I forgot to tell her about a bomb threat we had had 2 months before that wasn’t on her shift.

Autistic. But close enough. I sold monthly shareware subscriptions on CDs, Highlander TV show video sets and trenchcoats, animal videos, long distance, gay men’s clothing, bedding sets, golf clubs, did tech support from the days of the Nokia through birth of the BlackBerry, iPhone, Android etc, saw the death of the Windows phones and even spent time at a defense contractor. I’m one of the most overqualified Helpdesk/CS/TS call center people ever.

As a two decade veteran of call centers I have had this happen to me.

I was a nix admin. For two decades. Printers are banned in my house. My only IoT device is a Roku stick. I have 6 geese, 4 ducks, 14 chickens, too many cats, one acre, a number of raised beds, fruit trees and grape vines. I’m now a handyman.
I fit the profile.

That face. I’m wondering how closely he and I are related because that is the face of someone that could be an immediate relative of mine.

Any female bee in the hive will go through all the jobs available depending on their age. The bees you see flying around are at the end of the life cycle. Bees make wax from days 12 to 18. By the time they go foraging they are 21+ days old and no longer have the fuzziness of youth.

We just finished the show last week. This bit was such a jem.
We are also watching Just Shoot Me. Lots of references to Trump by the character Jack Gallo. In every one of them he is presented as someone who is pompous and competitive with zero redeeming qualities.

Minimalism is for people that can solve any problems with money. No tools. No rainy day supplies. No “just in case” in the back of a cabinet. Something breaks? Call a guy. Need 300 cup cakes? Catering.
It’s a philosophy for the rich. Not a philosophy that makes you rich.
