One interesting thing about a call center is how many accents one might hear in a day. There's the range one would expect - Texan, various degrees of Southern, the odd Brooklynese. Then there's, say, a French accent from Canada, then a New York accent crossed with a Jamaican accent. I mean, whoa - my mom has an Arabic/Jersey accent, but it's so faint as to just accent her speech (no pun intended). But the contortions required for a Jamaican New Yorker...
