An introduction into the characters for a novel idea I'm playing with. It's a week in the life of five call center reps.


Jamal hates his job and he'll tell anyone about it, actually he tells everyone multiple times a day. What he really wants is to get his hip hop career going and get the hell out of there. There is one perk though, Jamal is the local stud. Call centers are notorious for the extremeley skewed 15 women to 1 man ratio. It's not smart to shit where you eat, but that doesn't matter to Jamal. At any given time he's hooking up with at least three different co-workers and when a new training class comes in he's on the look out for the latest talent.

Darcy is the born again Christian. She's found Jesus and it's her personal mission to make sure everyone else does too. Darcy lives in a PG bubble that deflects profanity, sexual innuendos, and negativity. It is the constant game of the office to see who can break her. Her most lovable traits are the freshly baked goods she provides on a regular basis and the holiday time overkill she brings to the office.

Layla the overachiever. She started about six months ago and is not quite sure why she isn't running the place yet. She works through lunches and breaks, comes in an hour early, stays late, and volunteers for every project management comes up with. Layla is an excellent rep, but eats/lives/breaths the job.

Kevin is the office clown. If a prank happened or is about to happen you better believe he'll be the one behind it. Work is a playground to him. The stat he is most interested in is how many people he can get to laugh ecah day. Sometimes the customers appreciate it, sometimes they don't and it gets him in trouble.

Victoria is a senior rep whose very good at what she does. The problem is she knows it and she has very little tolerance, patience, or understanding for the reps that aren't quite on her level. Actually she doesn't think anyone is on her level. Some would call her the office bully although not to her face. It doesn't help that Victoria looks like a Victoria Secret's Model either.
