Just another Monday

Before we ended our work shift last Friday, the 30th of July, our team captain informed us we are to have new work station. I do not know exactly what the lowdown is. Our work stations are being interchanged anytime our bosses feel like doing so. I was fussing about the possibility of getting the not so good computer, or a mouse or a headset that may not work properly at the new work area. I got lucky the cubicle assigned to me is just what I had wanted. Looks like our IT guys had anticipated we would have tons of complains. Everything was organized, meaning my computer and its partners are working alright.

"Houston,  I have a problem."
My problem was I was delayed logging in due to some technical issues. Our computer program was made a bit complicated. I had difficulty logging in to my profile. I was an hour delayed taking in calls. This kind of problem occurs sometimes, when we transfer from one work station to another. As the saying goes be careful what you wished for. Monday is always a queuing time. We are not allowed to go on vacation leave during Mondays unless extremely necessary. Adding salt to the wounds I got so many problematic calls. Like repeat calls from customers with unresolved issues.  Some of them, of course, are irate callers. 

Our team captain was complaining about our overall high average handling time (AHT). We just smiled at him as if to say why not make Monday an exemption to average handling time? Wooo! I told myself, this is the reality of being a customer care representative.  One thing I can say is, I am lucky to have team mates who not only exemplary dedicated to their work but are endows with natural talents. As we often say, when all things failed. It is our common sense we have to make to work. Ahhh! I am glad another Monday had passed when I logged out at six in the morning, albeit I survived the night still sane.
