I have no issue with edgy jokes. I make them all the time. Just don't make it personally and everything is cool imo.

I currently work as coach in a contact center leading a team of 11. Before that i worked as a chimnesweep for 4 years and before that in psychiatry for 2 years.

If I had a billion dollars I'd probably quit my current job and pick up music again. With the other 999 millions I'd fund unions in Bangladesh and other countries currently overrun by capitalism.

Wrote a song last week. Not much of a crafting person rn.

I swear a lot. I try to cut back now that I'm in a leading position. But that just leads to me making more sarcastic jokes. So I'm at around 150 today.

Contact centres are like, my nightmare. Outbound ones anyway. All day long people talking at you and pressure! I’m always impressed by people who can hack it in environments like that. Idk how you’d keep your cool.

Sounds like you’ve had a pretty damn interesting career. I assume you’d meet some interesting people between psych and chimneys!

I’m pig-ignorant about Bangladesh but it seems like a very cool idea to use the money like that. A billion is a lotta homes and hot meals and medical treatments.

Songwriting huh? Awesome! There’s so many creative people here

I'm in an inbound only team so it's not that bad for the agents. Still wouldn't recommend the job XD

Dunno. I have like a plan, I'm trying to go to uni and become a teacher in a vocational school. But It didn't work out so worked in psychiatry. Tried again, then started the apprenticeship as chimnesweep. Once I became a journeywoman I tried to get into uni again but failed. Had to get a new job and knowing that surgery would be coming up decided to switch jobs to something big and corporate, where nobody would miss me if I vanished for 6 weeks. Now I've got my team. Once I've got my certificate as a team coach I'll try getting into uni again. I don't expect to get in by this point but am curious where I'll end up then. XD

Yes I was surprised how many we were 😅

A plan is good. Trying is good. Imo being satisfied with life is worth more than a degree at the end of it all.

I moved around a lot and went from milking cows to call center to antique store with an online shop in between. Kinda miss the cows tbh. Sweet silly creatures.

Hope wherever you do end up in life it’s somewhere you like.

Honestly that sound really awesome and interesting. I love antiques and cows [they're so wholesome in their own way.].

I hope the same for you :D
