yeahhhhhhhhhhh
Telemarketing fucking sucks. So over it, and it's less than a week in.
Yesterday our team did well, we reached our "team target" and got the option to go home early, which I (smartly) did. Nobody else made anymore sales after that anyway.
So Kate's birthday was yesterday. Because we are currently fairly fucked for cash, I made her up a gift voucher for one axolotl, as she is always going on about how she wants a pet....she is allergic to dogs and cats, and I don't want animals shitting on the floor of my house.
We had lasagne for dinner last night, another family event. We ended up being in bed by before 9:30, which really is ridiculously early. Have to get up before 7 each morning to get on the 7:47 train, which, like all V Line services, never runs on time.
People bitch so much about Sydney and it's transport. I don't hear much bitching about the Melbourne/Victoria systems, but they all seem really, really mediocre to me. Today, a few metres from the platform at Southern Cross, the train stopped and the announcer guy is like "well, they won't tell me why we can't go any further ahead. We are so close, yet so far away"
Our team did really shit today. I made a sale, but it was a cheque sale, so it won't count til the money comes through. Pretty much had enough of telemarketing <1 week in. Think I will try and find myself a job in Geelong. It's not like we're going anywhere anytime soon. Might as well not be spening $50 + per week on travelling to and fro for such a shitty job.
We'll see how it all goes.
