    In my life I've had plenty of jobs but not so many that look desirable on a CV, one of most 'interesting' was a sex chat line operator, now for someone who is more than a little prudish and thinks things like that is best kept for the bedroom this job was a rather odd choice but I'd seen it before it looked simple enough and it pays well so I thought why not.....I was young what can I say.

    I remember walking into this place and it was so unsexy each desk had a dictionary of sex terms and we all had our own cubicles, think of an office but with dildos in place of the pencil sharpener it was all very tacky even the phones were red.

    I was so nervous and then the phone rang and my heart felt like it was about to explode and I was dreadful really bad at one point the gentleman said something and I replied

     'What?..Oh you mean the....'  I  was correcting his grammar and anatomy usage

    It got worse with each call I was coming out with lines like:

    'that's not what it is called'

     'What?..Spell it' (as I frantically search the supplied dictionary)

     Needless to say I lasted one twelve hour shift!

    ROFLOL!!!!!
    In my university days, I did some time-coding and rough-translations for a local dubbing studio. They dubbed everything, from animation TV-shows for kids to educational miniseries about science, history and whatnot all the way to ... porn. And yes, those do need dubbing for the domestic market. And yes, I remember sitting there in my student flat with headphones so the neighbors behind the paperthin wall wouldn't hear me re-running a certain grunt-heavy scene because I just, for the life of me, COULD NOT GRASP what they were talking about ... Paid well. Got me through an entire semester. :-) And unbeknowst to the man himself, Captain Future generously paid for another one. ;D

    Hahaha 'spell it'. Bet he never heard that line before. I laughed my way thru this blog, picturing you in a cubicle with a red phone stuck to your ear whilst thumbing frantically thru that crazy handbook. What an experience.

    Haha at Boon!  This is too funny, Joanne!  If I had ever had that kind of job, I don't know if I ever would have admitted it!  I cannot imagine how "uninspirational" your surroundings were when you had to, um, work!  hahahaha!  This blog really made my day!  

    Maybe Johnny Depp would work as an on-line sex operator...   ::sigh::

    Hehe, I definitely would not have been able to last more than a day either if I had that job. =p

    You would think it would be a place that had sexy photos all over the place instead of having red tacky phones =p  That's quite an experience.

    How young were you? Sounds like this job takes a lot of concentration to get in sync with the client's mood and brain. However, I think w/o the pressure of getting the most # of calls, as opposed to, stretching out the call, it'd be easier to stay on the line and really get into the discussion, establish regulars.

    unwound~ thanks! Yea I like the pic too nah it's not a fun job, interesting but not easy.

    jaine~ haha thanks Jaine  you're right it is good to have funny experiences even if at the time it felt like if there had of been a black hole I'd of gladly leaped into it, now I look back and find it funny.

    jason~ Aw thanks Jason that's sweet of you, honestly I think a sex chat operator is a mixture of all three you say, definitely moments of hilarity that can often be followed by moments of sordid role-play and then there is always a few who really just want to talk and feel good about themselves by having someone treat them nice :)

    lc~ Yea it certainly wasn't as easy as I expected :D I only lasted the day, well one 12 hour shift :D

    butter~ oh yea do that sounds a very interesting shoot and probably quite different to how people imagine I'd love to hear about it sometime :)
            It was definitely quite a funny experience looking back when walking into this room that looked nothing like the ones I'd seen in film :D

    musicnote~ I have to admit it's much harder than I thought and it doesn't help when sometimes the things you hear just make you want to laugh out loud!

    cloudz~ hey I was trying to keep my blog PG 13 hehe :D From my experience most of the calls I had started off with role-play finding out what the client wanted and taking it from there until the client reaches their 'apex' you know what I mean I'll just keep the blog clean ;). Our job at the other end of the phone was mainly keeping the caller on as long as possible so it was important to tease for a while before anything......This was where I was bad I just wanted to get it over and done with!

    jane~ hehe thanks jane I don't think it's an experience I'll forget that's for sure!

    cheeky~ haha yeah good pointit's certainly a good conversation to break the ice at dinner parties.

    peachey~ If I did it was because of my voice as they could tell it was young, you're right if I'd stuck to it I'm sure I'd of improved I think it was just a shock to find out how little I actually knew I thought I was pretty up on everything. I talked to one of the ladies who had been in the business since her early twenties some of the stories she told me were funny, some scary but quite a few of her regular clients did just want to talk and feel needed by someone yeah I definitely think a high percentage of the callers were just lonely even if they had many friends they just wanted someone to talk too about their feelings.

    Asianchick~ I envy your friend managing to stick to it, the job is a lot harder than I ever imagined those chat line workers deserve a lot of respect!  Aye yeah Definitely interesting stories come from them! I'd say the worse one I had on that night was a gentleman who was into 'pegging' in which the girl wears a strap on dildo (I had to have him hold on while I asked one of the girls what it was...I was shocked)and becomes the 'man' in the relationship. It was a hard role-play to visually imagine from my point!

    flagday~ for the twelve hour shift I earned £168 if I remember rightly. To be honest I was the youngest one there but most of us were just normal everyday looking women there weren't any of us that would be considered 'hot' while walking down the streets, most of the workers that night were in mid 30s to 40s their sultry and often husky voice and of course experience counted a great deal, a couple of the ladies were working girls who would sit in on the phonelines while waiting for buisness. There is definitely a mix of styles in that place.

    OMG Joanne! I never knew that! ;0

    I guess interesting blogs is one of the very reasons why I love AnD so much...and yours is an interesting blog for sure! Please...do tell us more.....what's it like to work as a chat-line worker? Is it funny, really sordid, or really interesting? :P

    I'm sure the callers could never imagine what it's like behind the scenes on the other end of the line.  You had to experience it just so you could tell us about it :P  I still need to blog about when I worked as a photo assistant on Playgirl shoots.
