Holy Week in the call center
Customer: What’s your name?
Agent: Joseph, sir.
Customer: On Good Friday, Joseph gave a tomb to Jesus Christ.
“When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathe’a, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. – Matthew 27:57-58″
For the second time, I spent the Holy Week in a call center, answering calls from Americans. I had a weird caller last Good Friday (Black Saturday in the Philippines) who asked for my name. I can only laugh after the call because even if the customer was irate, he still found time to be religious enough to know of that part of the Bible, which I have quoted above.
We were supposed to have a meeting last Friday after our shift (most of us are logged in 5 am to 2 pm). It was reduced to a quick meeting because we might have some difficulty going home. It’s Good Friday and we might not have public transportation to take. I went home in Baras since I have to take some pictures on the images in the procession. It wasn’t difficult for me though, to get a ride last Friday.
