Around the office

One of the reasons I prefer co-worker interaction to customer interaction is the equality. In other words, co-workers cannot cuss me out, say they want to deal with a "man", tell me to "go back to India" (even though I am a Jewish mutt from the U.S. of A.), or tell me that my voice sounds sexy and turns them on. I am protected at work, but on the phone with a customer I have to act like all is well. I have to be shat on and like it. A co-worker is in the same position I am; we can't shit on each other. It's nice.
