    Um ... well... my work is similar to yours only in that i also wait for someone to call me. But your work is way more serious. Me, I work part time as a help line operator, for clients who use internet n 5* hotels. Usually i help them with settings, or connect them manually, or call a technician. I like my job because its very flexible and i can sometimes even study during the shift (but often there is a lot of work).
    Sometimes i do night shifts.

    So if you like me (hahaha) you can add me as a friend:) I think your job must be really interesting and stressful at the same time... I get stressed when a client is even slightly nervous! (but i dont let them know, thats the secret, haha:D)

    I have been a 911 Telecommunicator for the past 13 yrs. :) Not for the City of Durham though. (Just checked your profile and saw that you live in NC also.)

    Yes, I am so thankful there are more of us on this site. I am a 911 dispatcher for the RCMP up in Canada. I have been doing it for fifteen years full time and have packed on 25 lbs in the past 15 years. Yes, of course I have been able to take some of it off and I do have five year old twins who caused part of the weight. There is no doubt in my mind that shift work can add to the bulge. I do 12 hour shifts consisting of two dayshifts and two nightshifts then thankfully I get 4 days off. I would love to keep in touch and encourage on another. I am hoping to lose 25 lbs.

    cheers
