Shirley from Big Time Bingo
Q1: Tell us a little bit about you.
I am a single mommy of an 11 year old little girl who is the light of my life. We have three doggies who are our babies. The dogs run the house and we “run” to do their bidding. Did someone say cookies…….. brb puppy wants a cookie!
Q2: How long have you been a Chat Host?
I started working for Big Time Bingo in February of 2002 which means 9 years of making our awesome roomies have a great time!.
Q3: How did you become a Chat Host?
I found online bingo around 2000. I loved it. I could play bingo from the comfort of my own home and didn’t even need to hire a babysitter as I could sit on her myself while playing. I met the chat hosts while I was playing and decided this could be the best job in the world. I set about looking for the best site I could find that would match me and wrote to them over and over until they hired me so I would leave them alone. They hired me, but to this day I have never left them alone ;)
Q4: What do you like most about the job?
I love my roomies. They make my job wonderful. I love our CM team. We have assembled the finest group of girls I have ever worked with. We all care about each other and would do anything we could to make our site the best possible. We work well together and communicate often to see if there is anything we can do to help our players or the site.
Q5: What is the worst part of the job?
That is a silly question! There is no worst part. This is the perfect job and I work with the best team imaginable.
Q6: Which are your favorite chat room games?
Trivia is my favourite game. We end up being the silliest and making the most jokes on trivia days. We learn all kinds of new things ranging from pink fairy armadillos to smuckers jellyfish. (A group of jellyfish is called a smuck.)
Q7: What is the funniest thing that has ever happened whilst you have been in a chat room?
Oh gosh, we have had so many funny times over the last decade it is hard to single out any. Come join us in chat and you will be welcomed with open arms, a friendly staff and made to feel right at home. It wont take you long to have some of your funniest times right along with us.
Q8: What makes a good Chat Host?
Looking at our chat team shows me what makes a good chat host. Ro is always helpful and patient and will bend over backwards to help you with anything you need. Mila is the sweetest girl you could ever meet. In all the years I have known her I have never seen her angry. I am honoured to work with this team.
Q9: How would you like to see online bingo (as a whole) develop?
Our motto is upward and onward! We try to improve every day and take suggestions from our players and try to make bingo as fun as possible. We want you to enjoy the time you spend with us and feel like we are your “home.” My goal is to make your families and pets look at you like your crazy as you sit and LOL at the computer screen.
Q10: Any other comments that you'd like to add about being a Chat Host?
I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to let you get to know me and our wonderful staff. If I don’t make you roll your eyes at least three times per shift, I am just not trying hard enough. The time you spend with us should be the most fun you have all day. If there is ever anything we can do to make your stay with us more enjoyable, let us know and we will do whatever is necessary to improve the experience.
Again, I want to thank my roomies for being such wonderful people, my team for being the best at what you do, and invite those who don’t know us yet to come in and meet us and join our chat family.
All the team here at CMOTY would like to say a big 'TY' to Shirley.
