Hi, welcome to

Sorry

I still can't get used to this. This is episode two of I Seam Fun, the diary of Jen Kirkman podcast.

Now I'm laying in my bed. I think the first episode I was, I think I said I was laying in my bed, but I was lying to you. I'm sitting.

I was sitting in my bed. Now I'm actually under the covers laying in my bed talking into a microphone.

I feel like Osama bin Laden when he was in the caves. Do you remember that are you all, are you kids, kids out there, kids old enough to remember?

The Osama bin Laden tapes he would release. He would hold a microphone that looked like it was hooked up to a karaoke machine. I am not the first person that's made that joke, but I don't think it is cemented in amazement anywhere.

I don't think I'm killing anyone's act.

But he would stand there and do his, hold one finger up in the air and hold the mic and do his little speeches. I feel like him, except I don't have a finger in the air. I'm just kind of laying on my hand.

But I'm talking into it just looks like it, it all it is. It is this wonderful thing I use that records podcasts, but if you just saw black and white footage of what I'm doing, it would look like a crazy person recording their manifesto.

And like, oh, that's how she did it. She got into bed and started talking to a microphone.

But listen up with the self conscious stuff. You know, get over it, right? You're over it. You tuned in again.

So why am I acting like, oh, who made me do this? Nobody. So here we go.

All right. So here's what I want to talk about this week. I want to talk about customer service, the epidemic that is going on a customer service.

On many levels, I don't even really know where to be. I'm just going to say, I have worked and I am not making fun of customer service people. I just popped my seat.

I'm not talking about customer service people. I'm not like, oh, look at those pigs at the cash register folding t-shirts at the gap. I'm not doing that. I have worked so many customer service jobs. I was a cashier at grocery stores.

I worked at coffee shops. I was a waitress. I can't remember. What else is customer service technically? Those are the big three. Okay.

In my day. All right. I was the fastest cashier at Roach Brother supermarket in need of Massachusetts. I got a job at 14 this summer before my freshman year in high school. I got a job.

I don't even think I remember anyone saying get a job. I think it was just like, I guess I'm an adult now. Like, I had a job. It just seems odd to me to have a job as a teenager.

Unless you're like, my family was poor and I had to contribute like that wasn't the case with me. Now, my family was not rich. We lived in a very uphol.

Uphol. God. I'm not editing that out. We grew up in a very upper middle class town. Okay. My mom hates when I talk about this stuff. You make your father upset because he feels like he can't like you're saying he didn't provide for you.
