Call Center Escapist Mugs

Voice Mail Jail.

Woman dreaming about being on vacation.

"Bill's a little upset. The boss just chewed him out."

"I can hardly wait...TWO WHOLE weeks without having to deal with mindless e-mails, incessant interruptions, boring meetings...."

"What's the problem? We told you when you started you'd have to make some sacrifices."

"It's essential I go to work to avoid being with my family."

Taking a little mental vacation can help as long as you don't go to mental.

"Is there an option to make my out-of-office message permanent?"

Workaholic on holiday

I hate sitting in traffic jams. - 'Move it! I need to get work.' - 'I hate sitting at my desk.' -

Forms I cannot deal with / Forms I will not deal with

"How do you feel about working a four-day week?"

Whiskers realized he'd grown tired of the rat race.

"Lisa, bring out the Alistair Cheng files and an iced mochaccino, if you will, please."

"Cubicle 311 is our 'cultural oasis'."

'Walter, stop fantasizing and get back to your desk.'

"Slowly begin to reawaken the body with thoughts of unread E-mails, piles of dirty laundry, and the kids you have to pick up from school."

'Welcome aboard, Bob. Your job is to figure out what the hell happened here.'

"Outta my way. I need to check my email!"

Next, I recall looking down at myself and thinking, God, what a drama queen.

'I'm playing 18 floors.'

'Now, dear, I spent 35 years pretending to look busy. I can't just quit overnight!'

Clock watcher

"Where do you see yourself getting drunk in five years?"

"Then I wake up, the cheering has stopped, I have three kids, and I work in a cubicle."

'When I wake up, remind me to give you a few tips on how to make your presentations a little more dynamic.'

'-but surely it's unusual to have nightmares with COMMERCIALS?'

Politician back home

"You're in cubicle 1,962. If you get lost in there, I'll send a drone in to guide you."

'Running away from the circus to join the world of accountancy isn't working out as I expected. . .'

"Master, you have 175,568 unread messages in your inbox."

A usual day.

"Do you mind?"

'Hold my calls. I'm going out for a random walk.'

"Tell me about the sunshine, George."
