Ten years ago today, I stepped into my first job at an inbound customer service call center, and my, my what a journey it has been.
At the time I took the job I was in dire straits, desperate for income to beat down the wolves at the door. I took a job that I thought would be easy, but found it to be anything but that. Anyone who thinks that inbound customer service is as simple as just talking to people all day has never worked in a call center. Trust me.
I met some amazing people and put in my dues, but after a year I wanted to serve a higher purpose, so I took a leap of faith and moved to a company in the health care field; I thought I could use my passion to help people in areas that really mattered: the health and wellness of people in America. It was a field I knew absolutely nothing about, but I knew I wanted to help- I wanted to somehow payback the kindness to the strangers on the other end of the phone… and so my career took some major twists.
Within a year I was in a non-production role off the phone. Within another 8 months I was in a leadership position as a supervisor. A few years later I accepted the position of a business manager here in Dallas. I manage a call center with almost three hundred agents and nine supervisors under me, during one of the most challenging times in the health care industry.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that walking in that call center, earning $7 per hour would lead to the career that I have today. Never under estimate the power of a leap of faith, or assume that a small step cannot lead to a long, winding, and very rewarding journey. You certainly get out of it what you put into it…

Wexford (from Old Norse: Veisafjǫrðr, Yola: Weisèforthè, Irish: Loch Garman is the county town of County Wexford, Ireland.
It is near the southeastern corner of the island of Ireland, close to Rosslare Europort. The town is linked to Dublin by the M11/N11 National Primary Route, and the national rail network. It has a population of 19,913 (20,072 with environs) according to the 2011 census.
History
Ruins of Selskar Abbey, Wexford.
Wexford lies on the south side of Wexford Harbour, the estuary of the River Slaney. According to a local legend, the town got its Irish name, Loch Garman, from a young man named Garman Garbh who was drowned on the mudflats at the mouth of the River Slaney by flood waters released by an enchantress. The resulting loch or lough was thus named Loch Garman. The town was founded by the Vikings in about 800 AD. They named it Veisafjǫrðr, meaning inlet of the mud flats, and the name has changed only slightly into its present form. For about three hundred years it was a Viking town, a city state, largely independent and owing only token dues to the Irish kings of Leinster.
However, in May 1169 Wexford was besieged by Dermot MacMurrough, King of Leinster and his Norman ally, Robert Fitz-Stephen. The Norse inhabitants resisted fiercely, until the Bishop of Ferns persuaded them to accept a settlement with Dermot. Wexford was an Old English settlement in the Middle Ages. An old dialect of English, known as Yola, was spoken uniquely in Wexford up until the 19th century.
County Wexford produced strong support for Confederate Ireland during the 1640s. A fleet of Confederate privateers was based in Wexford town, consisting of sailors from Flanders and Spain as well as local men. Their vessels raided English Parliamentarian shipping, giving some of the proceeds to the Confederate government in Kilkenny. As a result, the town was sacked by the English Parliamentarians during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland in 1649. Many of its inhabitants were killed and much of the town was burned.

County Wexford was the centre of the 1798 rebellion against British rule. Wexford town was held by the rebels throughout the fighting and was the scene of a notorious massacre of local loyalists by the United Irishmen, who executed them with pikes on Wexford bridge.

Redmond Square, near the railway station, commemorates the elder John Edward Redmond (1806-1865) who was Liberal MP for the city of Wexford. The inscription reads: "My heart is with the city of Wexford. Nothing can extinguish that love but the cold soil of the grave." His nephew William Archer Redmond (1825-1880) sat as an MP in Isaac Butt's Home Rule Party from 1872 until 1880. The younger John Redmond, son of William Archer Redmond was a devoted follower of Charles Stewart Parnell and leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party until his death in April 1918. He is interred in the Redmond family vault, St. John's Cemetery, Upper St. John's Street. Redmond Park was formally opened in 1931 as a memorial to Willie Redmond, younger brother of John Redmond. He was also an Irish Parliamentary Party MP and was killed in 1917 while serving with the 16th (Irish) Division on the Western Front during the Messines offensive, where he was buried. Willie Redmond had sat as a Parnellite MP for Wexford from 1883 until 1885.
Wexford's success as a seaport declined in the 20th century because of the constantly changing sands of Wexford Harbour. By 1968 it had become unprofitable to keep dredging a channel from the harbour mouth to the quays in order to accommodate the larger ships of the era, so the port closed. The port had been extremely important to the local economy, with coal being a major import and agricultural machinery and grain being exported. The port is now used exclusively by mussel dredgers and pleasure craft. The woodenworks which fronted the quays and which were synonymous with Wexford were removed in the 1990s as part of an ambitious plan to claim the quay as an amenity for the town as well as retaining it as a commercially viable waterfront. Despite the bankruptcy of the contractor, the project was a success.
In the early 20th century, a new port was built, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) south, at Rosslare Harbour, now known as Rosslare Europort. This is a deepwater harbour unaffected by tides and currents. All major shipping now uses this port and Wexford Port is used only by fishing boats and leisure vessels.
Wexford
Culture
Wexford is the home of many youth and senior theatre groups including the Buí Bolg street performance group, Oyster Lane Theatre Group, Wexford Pantomime Society, Wexford Light Opera Society and Wexford Drama Group.
Wexford has a number of music and drama venues including Wexford Opera House, the Dun Mhuire Theatre and Wexford Arts Centre.

Proposed developments include the development of a large new residential quarter at Carcur, a new river crossing at that point, the new town library, the refurbishment of Selskar Abbey and the controversial redevelopment of the former site of Wexford Electronix. Also, the relocated offices of the Department of Environment have been constructed near Wexford General Hospital on Newtown Road.
Notable churches within the town include St. Iberius, Bride Street and Rowe Street with their distinctive spires, the impressive Saint Peter's College, with a chapel designed by Augustus Welby Pugin and Ann Street Presbyterian church. A former Quaker meeting hall is now a band room in High Street. Two of the most noticeable buildings in Wexford are the "Twin Churches" Rowe St. and Bride St. These churches can be seen from any part of Wexford and in 2008 celebrated their 150th anniversary. This was a huge event for the churches. Joe Kinsella is the caretaker of Rowe St. Church.

In 2014, the team narrowly missed out on a promotion to the Irish Premier League.
Gaelic games
Wexford is also home to several Gaelic Athletic Association clubs. Though the town was traditionally associated with Gaelic football, with six teams providing ample outlets for its youngsters, it wasn’t until 1960 that hurling took its foothold, with much due to local man Oliver “Hopper” McGrath’s contribution to the county’s All-Ireland Hurling Final triumph over the then-champions Tipperary. Having scored an early second-half goal to effectively kill off the opposition, McGrath went on to be the first man from the town of Wexford to receive an All-Ireland Hurling winner’s medal.
One of the town’s local hurling clubs, Faythe Harriers, holds a record fifteen county minor championships, having dominated the minor hurling scene in the 1950s, late 1960s and early 1970s. However, the senior side has only enjoyed briefly successful periods, having won just five county senior championships.
Although the team has not achieved county senior football success since 1956, Volunteers (“the Vols”) of Wexford Town hold a record eleven county senior titles, as well as six minor titles. Other notable Gaelic football clubs in the town are Sarsfields, St. Mary’s of Maudlintown, Clonard and St. Joseph’s.

On Friday, March 18th, 2016 we at J.C.E.S. were granted a very unique opportunity to tour the Emergency Communications Center (E.C.C.). The center is located in Olathe, Kansas and handles police, fire, and EMS radio traffic for Johnson County and EMS traffic for Miami County. The police dispatchers are responsible for each city in Johnson County except for; Leawood, Lenexa, Overland Park, Prairie Village/Mission Hills, and Shawnee. The fire/EMS dispatch is responsible for all fire and EMS traffic in Johnson County and also EMS traffic in Miami County. Each dispatcher has an abundance of computer screens they use in order to handle each call. The computers utilize a Computer Aided Dispatching program, which helps the dispatcher quickly get units on scene. The dispatchers also have a direct line to the National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill, MO in case of a serve weather outbreak. If a tornado does occur in Johnson County the dispatchers are safe because the room can withstand an EF-4 tornado. We as a group learned a lot on how the E.C.C. works and how they manage each call for help. J.C.E.S. wants to thank all of our dispatchers in Johnson County for their outstanding work they do everyday. What they do can be extremely stressful and time consuming and they truly deserve to be highlighted. We also want say THANK YOU for your extreme hospitality and kindness during our tour. If you are interested in more information regarding E.C.C. or our tour please feel free to comment or send us a message and we will do our best to answer your questions. If we cannot answer it ourselves we can refer you to someone who can.

I think this was supposed to be a motivational tool... I'd rather have the normal one; it has the emotions that more accurately describe how I feel when I'm at work sometimes, haha.
