Riga Standings

Riga worked in a call centre in Bangkok. She had an issue with a bent manager. This guy was head of sales in the VOIP account. Riga groused over his ethics. The guy was good at selling. That couldn't be denied. He wasn't able to do anything else. Being type cast for the role. Riga's supervisor friend Eurasia reported the manager for corruption. Riga agreed on this and advised her friend how to do it. The manager denied his agents the full sales bonus. This was wrong and equal to theft and dishonesty. If the agreed amount was 1000 per sale and only 700 was paid, there was an issue. Unless the amount had been changed and the agents told. The guy also increased the number of users on sales by manipulation. The bent manager was given a month’s suspension. Riga and Eurasia celebrated and had a beer at the local bar by the call centre. Both gals talked. They knew the manager would be back and do this again. Then they wanted him permanently out of the centre. It was possible and all tactics. Riga waggled her toes and grinned. We will bring better values to the call centre. Starting with the bent manager. Then his smarmy lieutenant will be next. He's another wanker obsessed with sales. Upping the numbers by illegal manipulation. Eurasia agreed. This is war and we are winning! Both will be removed. We will make it so. Riga and Eurasia were good as sales. The legal correct empathic way...

‎Riga Crescendos

‎There are times I want to quit

‎There are times when I have had enough

‎

I remember the mission

‎I remember why

‎I remember those here before me

‎I remember what they did

‎I remember the legacy we all created

‎

No matter how hard it gets

‎That's why I stay

‎

Even on the hardest darkest day

‎When life and my job has broken me

‎Time and time again beyond breaking

‎

That's why I'm still here

‎Small little vulnerable Riga

Riga Seasonal

Riga saw an old pilot she once flew with

He had just landed a transporter

She descended from her disc

They were at an alien outpost

Both saw one another

And ignored the other

For she reported him to control

Due to his unlicensed space craft

The ship was fast so needed no licence

Nothing could catch him

Except her disc but she wouldn't

She wanted nothing to do with him

The report grated on his nerves

He paid the fine at control

Then got on with his job

Ignoring the small bad-tempered gal

Who was always right

Due to her skills and moods

With no recognition of her

He finished the checks and was off

His ship ascended on orange exhausts

Riga would stay here two days

There was a bar and eating place

Once she took her ex there

Those days were over past dead

Now it was her and the disc

She wished her ex well

Soon forgot him and went to the bar

The first iced beer was a joy

Alien brew coloured green

More would follow with food

It was a long way from Earth

If only it was different

An ex who was a friend

They could fly together but

Now they were strangers

Two Earthlings far from Earth

Both with very different alien craft

And with the same insolent ways

The aliens thought them crazy!
