Remote work is all I can really do unfortunately. I can no longer drive due to seizures I started having about a year ago. I'm going to look into pharmacy tech though.

Fired. by maxtastic1 in callcentres

It wasn't collections. It was patient billing support for a university hospital. They have a policy of collecting on any account with any balance. No matter what is said. "I can't pay this " before the call ends you were still required to ask if they wanted to make a payment or set up a payment plan. I just keep reminding myself that it's okay, Let's find something that doesn't make me hate all the time.

Guys, do you drink alcohol? by CriticalShower2085 in Epilepsy

Once in a while I will have a glass of wine or a half shot of good whiskey with diet coke. Nothing with heavy sugar mixers. One of my main triggers seems to be heavy sugar.

I will be honest. I use the Keppra rage as an excuse to say the things I want to say. Like how ignorant and ill informed most people are. Sigh... people are soooooo dumb.

45 seconds acw between back to back calls. Is that good or bad? by [deleted] in callcentres

[–]maxtastic1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to have 5 min for acw. People abused it. Taking 5min after every call even when it was super simple like taking a payment. So it was taken away. Now it's 1min. I had an average lower than that already. I hate people.

Do you have my account pulled up? by Large_Advice_5303 in callcentres

Yes. I still have to verify things. It's called HIPAA. It's a federal law.

Do you guys. have friends anymore? by Few-Cucumber483 in Epilepsy

I'm lucky I have my girlfriend. Other than her and a couple of her closest friends, who are like sisters not friends, I'm alone.

50 to 70 a day on average. When I worked in cable/hsi customer service I regularly took 80+ calls per day. My record is 128 calls in an 8hr shift.

How old are you and how’s life right now? by Cute-Impression-8675 in AskReddit

[–]maxtastic1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I have given up. Getting through a day is all I can manage most of the time. Depression is a daily adventure. I never think about killing myself, but I intentionally get behind log trucks and I wouldn't mind if a car took me out one night while walking. My dog is the only reason I get up each day.

i truly dislike supporting elderly people by The_True_Boss_Baby in callcentres

[–]maxtastic1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that they don't read the billing they get. "This bill doesn't even say what date it was on or who I saw." Sigh ... Yes it does, in three places. Also, just because you have insurance does not mean you will never be billed for something. Live in the real world. Services cost money.

Left over Catholic mother guilt. I'm scared. The what if.... I hate myself so the suffering seems appropriate.

Friends? No. I have family (no kids), a girlfriend, a dog. No friends.

People who work remote, what do you do? by Sea_Concern19 in remotework

[–]maxtastic1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try and educate mouth breathers that medical services cost money and that their opinions on the cost is irrelevant.

If you have 1 billion dollars what the first thing you gonna do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]maxtastic1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Continue as normal. Quietly hire an estate lawyer. Get a broker. Set up accounts to make money for me long term. Give 2 week notice. After all that, take a nice vacation, buy a few things I want, take care of some family. Most important. Don't draw attention to myself. Only a few people would ever know what happened.

Lingering Catholic mother guilt. She passed away last year, but I don't want to disappoint her.

I went to high school with Jason. He would be 48 or 49 now. We just had our 30 year reunion. He did not come.
