Maybe we have some common ground after all. Have a Kilkenny for me over there. Guiness refuses to sell this amazing Ale to us yanks.
lol, so you are a yankee.
That's funny, I've worked for a number of call centres. Namely Nextel and Hewlett Packard. And we weren't allowed to say "Y as in Yankee" because it was considered a nation slur or some shit. The yanks always got pissed off when we used it. Of course we were just going by the American Phonetic Alphabet.
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

So did Zulu's also get pissed off with you? You must have had a few spears launched through your office windows if they did?

No, I only took American calls.
It's bad to work in a call centre taking calls from Americans about computer or phone support. The general census in those places is, all Americans are morons.
But I know it's just the ones calling HP for tech support.

I find it to be a really degrading profession. People call in and treat you like shit your entire shift. Or at least that's what it was like for me.
Caller "Hurry up, time is money, I make $80 an hour and I'm losing it talk to you fuckers"
Me "Oh, thanks for rubbing that in my face, I make $10 an hour talking to assholes like you."

Luckily the company I work for pays quite well and I get free tube and bus travel in London, and 30 days holiday a year. But, still, most of the callers are morons, so it can be a tough job.
Edit: Looks like the subject of Israel has taken a back burner! :rolleyes:
