How's this for a custom title?!?!
My name is Mikey AKA Survivals Aftermath!
I am from Bend Oregon and look for some cool people to ride with if anyone is in my area :)

I guess I can tell you a little about me... I am 26, a recovering addict of prescription pills, been clean over 5 years and goin strong! I work at a call center for a cell phone company (dreadfully), and I primarily just teach old people how to work a smart phone... over the phone... :( I ride an 09 klr 650 :). Um... I LOVE music, but I'm terrible at playing it... Some of my fav bands are; Brand New (all time fav), Opeth, Alkaline Trio, Suicide Silence, Mad Caddies, and my gurl Taylor Swizzle (haters gonna hate). I game when the time permits it (not too often these days). No kids (phew) and just kinda enjoying life while I can ;)

I decided to get into this gig to help people out. I want to pay it forward and help as many people as I can :). I have a unique ambition, it is to change as many peoples lives for the better while I can :). So I want to pay it forward and I do a ton of random acts of kindness to get me on my way to my goal ;)

Kinda new to the scene and I have a sena prism with an SMH10 dual mic, cause I like to chat with my buddy while I ride :).

Just thought I would poke in and say whats up :). I like the community so far and plan on being a big part of it if you will have me :p
 
I don't envy your call-center job lol. I worked in a center for Var-Tec Telecom and later for Experian. Both were horrible experiences. I lasted 9 months with Var-Tec which was about 8 months longer than most people lasted and I was at Experian for 3 years. I stayed because they actually paid pretty well and I was willing to put up with people cussing me out 90 times a day and the Kafka-esque work environment.

Yeah it would! I tried to put my drift cam on my dog so I could record her chasing a rabbit, but she just looked at me all pitiful and cried, so I took it off.
 
Thats the whole reason im at the call center i work at! I get decent pay, and free benifits! I just have to take a picture of me "working out" once a week haha. The job just super sucks. Its a realitvely small company compared to most. Hint: aarp members get special discounts :(. It pays very well and the environment is rad! Its just mind numbing. Half of my calls are "my phone isnt working and i charged it all night!" "Well here, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds and lets see what happens" "WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!" "Im a wizard sir/madam, have a great rest of you day and thank you for calling (blank)".

Can you imagine my dog with a full face helmet?!?! That would be so awesome!!!

When I worked for VarTec it was during the days when you could dial 1010 codes on a land line to get special long distance rates. Their rates were actually some of the best at the time, usually $0.05 a minute for all calls over 10 minutes to just about anywhere. A lot of times people would see VarTec on their bill and wouldn't recognize it. Some people would call it, thinking the numbers wouldn't show up on their bill. One of my favorite moments was this one:

Lady: Hello, I have a number I don't recognize on my bill.
Me: Ok I'll check it out. (Calls number)
Answering Machine: Hi, this is Bambi. I'm not home....etc
Me: Hello, Miss? I got a machine for someone named Bambi, you know her.
Lady (With menacing voice): Oh, I know who that is, alright. My husband's going to have to answer for that when he gets home..
Me: LOLOLOL

Man some of the calls i get are pure gold! Its so awesome haha. But thats like 1/100. I remember is once had this lady, ill never forget her! In the verification post, her email address was groovygrandma and her security passcode was felopian tubes haha. So she had just gotten her first smartphone, cause her kids talked her into it (i hate kids that do this, they make my job a living hell). Well, she was crying hystarically and frantic cause someone was calling her and she didnt know how to answer it! It was pretty cute, i had to mute myself and chuckle a few times haha. Well i was in the process of telling her and you could just tell she was freakin out. Well, i threw a curveball at her! I made her test answer it with me on the line. I tried 3 seperate times, each time she was on the vurge of tears. On the fouth call she figured it out! The squeal of excitement was untouchable by anyone! I asked her if she wanted to try it again, she squealed and screamed "HELL YEA I DO!!" That was like a 2 hour call, but i regret nothing! I ended up not meeting my metrics that day, we have a minimum cph of 7cph, that day my cph was like 3.5! My sup vied my calls and heard that one and used it for a call score because it was so good, i could hear her chuckling behind me while i was on other calls. It was pretty radsauce.
