Cliff<p>Now that I'm no longer in training for this job, I need to figure out a way that I can play video games in between calls. Especially on slow days like today. </p><p>I have three monitors, so that obviously makes it easier. Just need to figure out how to position windows correctly as well as make sure I can pause the game when a call comes in and not die or anything similar within the game itself. </p><p><a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/Work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Work</span></a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/PhoneCalls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PhoneCalls</span></a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/CustomerSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CustomerSupport</span></a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGames</span></a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaming</span></a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/Gamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gamer</span></a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a> <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/AllThingsTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AllThingsTech</span></a></p>
