Let's talk about that time I was a Bill collector. I worked for this company on South Hampton Rd. called Tate & Kirlin. This was an interesting job, It took me about a hour & 45mins to get there from Germantown, I never really had a ride home and would have to walk about 15 to 20 mins to the bus stop every night because we got off at 12am. When I did get a ride to the bus I had to hope I was alive to get on it. These people would drag race each other down Roosevelt Blvd, that's the thing that made it interesting besides the phone calls telling people to pay their bills and how they would react about it. I was 19 & I hadn't experienced a lot about people & this was wild. Anybody that's ever worked collections knows what I mean. I was also a Telemarketer selling pagers & cell phones for a brief stint for this company called GoInternet.
I went into a training with the welfare to work program and became a property manager for these apartments called Lindley towers & Girard Courts. There were others but these were the two I mainly worked. Boy did I turn up there! I was 22 I made friends with my co-workers & even some of the tenants. This was just a wild time in my life, more will be discussed in future blogs, it gets deep. This job I remember quitting because life got really raw.
In 2009 I worked at Wendy's in South Philly for about 9 months. I was 25 this was an emotional year. I actually liked the job and my co-workers. It was the franchise owner that I didn't care for, I don't think she cared for me or anyone one else much for that matter. She was mean & one day after dealing with my own crazy shit, I came to work & couldn't deal with her shit. I told her about herself & quit!
Now it get's good, I was a phone sex operator! Oh yes one of the those 1-900-girls, girls. It was crazy, the interview was an actual voice audition. You had to be able to make your voice sound young hip & sultry. This job came with numerous performances. I couldn't believe the type of people that worked there. For the men that call it's hilarious to know who they think they are talking to verses who they are actually talking to! I worked there a month it paid pretty damn well, but I had to leave because those phone calls were doing something to me mentally and I didn't like it.
I have to stop right here because I need to think of the rest of the jobs before we talk about the under the table ones!
