Hello everyone! It's been a long time :-)

Got to question! I work for the state doing clerical duties. I like it, but I HATE talking on phones!

My mom works at a place where talking on phones are minimun. Her workplace is mostly processing and data entry. She works at a IT place if you want to call it that. For ex, if someone has a problem with their phones or computers then she is who they call to put tickets in to get it fixed. She said they only get like 2-5 calls per week! I may be given a chance to work there. That would be the best job for me I think because I won't have to worry about being on phones much.

Both jobs pay the same amount of money.

If you were in my shoes, what would you do? Any advice for me?

I'd work at whichever place makes me happier.

Is this the same job - https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/other-careers/what-does-mean-when-you-take-job-503767-2.html#post2508085

Sorry for the long delay, No that is not the same job. I finally do have a permanent job with the state... I'm just not feeling the job and I am not all that happy with it. It's okay, but I would rather be some place else.

Haven't heard anything from the place where my mom works, but I think I would be happier there because 1)my mom works there :-) and she knows how to keep me sane in tough situations.
