Okay, NOW I feel ill-used

There are three people here tonight.

The other two have BOTH been on private calls for the past *checks watch* 45 minutes. One is talking to her daughter in New Zealand. Fine. It's not so busy that we all have to be working our asses off. I'm dealing just fine.

But I ran into a snag with a call, and when I asked for help the woman heaved a sigh of exasperation and ROLLED HER EYES at me.

Come on! We're here to work! Forgive me if I dared to interrupt your personal call with an operational concern.

Christ.

Right now they can both bite me. I'm picking up ALL their slack, and not only am I not getting thanked, I'm getting eyerolls.

Our calls are logged and tracked. If I did that NZ thing, I'd be fired.

Our calls are logged and tracked too. I think that her daughter called here, so it's not being charged to the RCMP, which is the only saving grace.

I'm annoyed. The only personal thing I ever do here is email and LJ (and only posting ever since the 'bots blocked my flist), and I always drop EVERYTHING when the phone rings.

Ergh. This is what I get for having a good work ethic.

We're alloted time for personal calls, but even incoming? i mean, they're paying her to be available, right?

Yup. Hence my annoyance.
