i think ive just come to the conclusion that im bored with this job, because i actually do enjoy helping people, but im always irritated with boredom and it makes me not the nicest guy in the world. but theres a better paying opening in the same company and i wont have to sit on the phones all damn day like i do now. so im going to apply for that. if i dont get it, i guess ill find something else.
as far as being an asshole goes... i think i just have ultra-incredible mood swings. not sure why, but i can be euphoric one moment and pissed in the next 5 seconds. i think someone to talk to like a counselor or psychiatrist would be good for me. i tend to think faster than i can keep up with and talking things through helps me sort things out a lot.
i get bored.

I worked in an insurance agency for about a year and a half, and it was shit. I can totally fucking identify with you man. One question: do you have a chick? I ask this because when I worked insurance it was because that was the best way to stay where I was and be close to my girl. I'm not saying I regret it, because it was a good relationship and all, but I will never never never never do insurance again, or any customer service, answering-the-phones kind of job. One girl was worth it, but I have learned my lesson.
If there's no immediate reason why you should stay with this shithole job, then I say find another one. Methinks you are missing out on life; at least that's what I've found from my experience. I was 19 and 20 when I was doing insurance, and no one that age has any business subjecting themselves to that kind of lobotomizing bullshit. Hell, I've worked as a waiter, a Wal-Mart cashier, and now I do yardwork (I'm also doing college now), and my worst day now beats the shit out of my best day then. Well, actually Wal-Mart was even worse. Fuck Wal-Mart. That said, you have to dig pretty deep to find a job worse than insurance.
If you're still young and free of obligations, you should get the fuck out of this situation. You'll regret it if you don't.
In the meantime, when customers get bitchy over rate increases, remind them that your own rates went up as well, and blame in on 9/11. That's what I did.

No; truth, being alive, was not halfway between anything. It was only to be found by continuous excursions into either realm, and though proportion is the final secret, to espouse it at the outset is to insure sterility.
Only connect...

Customer service people should generally be able to fake happiness when talking to the customer. If you cant do that then youre not in the right job me thinks.
Im in the same boat, Im way introverted. I would never accept a job at a phone thingy, and when ever I apply at some store or whatever somewhere I always mention that the one thing I wont do is cashier.
My advice, like everyone else here, is that you need to find a better job that is more to your likings. 
but I gotta ask, how does a part time job for a college kid pay at an insurance company? What do they do? filing?
Cause theres an insurance company around here (my insurance) and they said they were hiring, and I need a job... But I have no idea what I would be doing there.

well, ALL i do is answer phones, and they don't always ring. the rest of the time i fuck around on the shroomery. im here through a temp agency, i get 10.50/hour. and i only work 8-3, so it's just enough to get by at this point.
but fuck. its 3. im going home to smoke some much needed pot and then im going to walk my dog on this beautiful day.
