Working at a call center with a stutter?

Working at a call center with a stutter? This was my second job and it literally involves communicating with people over the phone all day. I was in training for 3 weeks for this job and hated every s...

I have gotten the "can I ask you a question?" a lot. I understand that some people can't help themselves and feel the need to talk. The people who are just rude, are annoying. I do appreciate people w...

Well I'm your opposite I guess. I haven't had any experiences in my adult life where they base my intelligence on my stutter. Hasn't happened since middle school is my guess. I'm in law enforcement t...
