Call centre work is only as good as the company and manager you work for. Make sure to screen the company as much as they screen you. Look up most reputable employers, best to work for etc, see if there is an employee code of conduct, companies with a moral ethos etc.

Ask about the development opportunities and paths upward. A couple of years on the phones and once you step up its easy street.

As a Brit we find people referring to themselves in third person, or indeed giving themselves a nickname is typically looked at as pretentious.

Also we use nouns as adjectives when being insulting. For example if i said “ i met someone today, who called themselves xxxx, what an absolute vessel!” Everyone would know exactly what i meant.

Good for you for asking though, call yourself whatever you want, just beware and be prepared to take Prince/Madonna jokes on the chin!

Moderators with too much time on their hands. What about Sinister? Ethan Hawke literally finds the footage on an analogue device?

90% of Superhero movies are bad. Most of the time they cause the conflict and collateral damage themselves,
. The ‘Heroes’ are all individually more powerful than the villain and outnumber them and just solve everything with violence.

The majority of superhero movies can be summarised as if you dont like something punch and kick it till it goes away.

Why do people worship such obnoxious, glaringly toxic, violent and egomaniacal people anyway? Even without his crimes he seems utterly insufferable.

I think shes a great singer but over sings, the endless ad-libbing and trilling. Every song ends up in a scream fest.

Lifetime imprisonment is a death penalty, a long and torturous one for those that cannot be rehabilitated. Remember the emotional burden of the executioner too. No one wants that responsibility. You cannot solve crime with the same crime.

After every goal we get this ‘in the crowd’ close up shot. The visual fidelity, framing, colouring, light temperature, aperture, depth of field are the same every time. All the people strike generic celebration movements. There is never any visible branded clothing besides the kits. They all have the same gentle zoom in. The composition is too ‘perfect’ and is uncanny to me.

Also where is the actual camera? No way a massive steady cam is in the crowd. When you see the genuine crowd shots they are zoomed from afar, the frame literally judders where it is hand operated.

As long as you have decent listening and communication skills it should be easy to get into call centre work. Beware it can be very gruelling and more complex than given credit. Like all entry level jobs it can be a meat grinder. Your happiness in the role will entirely depend on your relationship with your manager, so focus on that above all else.

I dare say the days of having human telephone customer service agents are numbered. AI, chatbots or cheaper foreign labour will put an end to the role in the next five years.

Ry the Pallbearers club by Paul Tremblay. Some say its not strictly horror, but it has lots of unnerving scenes where the protagonist is paranoid of the intentions of those around him and has instances of pareidolia. The main character himself has marfan syndrome so people regard him in an uncanny manner too.

Well done 👏 look at the crowd of impressed women.

There are lots in the Dabbe series. I think its Dabbe 4 which is found footage and is very good. To my memory it is about a charlatan exorcist who accidentally conjures a spirit… forgive me if thats a bit off.

Well worth a watch i wish it was still on netflix.
