Do I hear an "I told you so?"
The call centre is well dodgy.
I'm pitching people "free" holidays that actually end up costing them at least forty quid. I reckon it's a time share villa company because there's no way my manager gets to go to a seven star holiday resort in Dubai if he's only just started up the feckin business. The speech they've given me is shit, and the minute people hear "telemarket research survey" they hang up. It's high pressured and it's not our fault if people don't want to go to an unknown resort in Cyprus. My powers of persuasion leave a lot to be desired because I don't like asking people too much and being intrusive. I know I on't like it when people from call centres demand I buy a new mobile over the phone while asking me about my income. The minute I get asked how much I earn on the phone I hang up, and I don't feel comfortable having to do the same to other people, like having to ask an old lady's age for example. Collectively the pensioners get VERY offended, and I'm not surprised. I will only get the commission I earned today if the people I phoned up show up at this meeting on Saturday with the Saltire directors in some random media building, but I can't tell anyone any proper info about this rendezvous since it appears to be shrouded in mystery. The person who typed out my little telephone speech has really bad punctuation so I keep stuttering on the phone and pausing at really weird intervals. I'm supposedly convincing people they've done a survey, when really their numbers have just been randomly plucked out a page in the phonebook and put on my desk. I feel like a liar, not that that bothers me that much, but I would at least like to endorse the package I'm lying about.
The saving grace of today was the glorious weather whilst I walked to me new job, and the funny as fuck kinda neddy guy who sits beside me in his booth and gives quality banter, yas. He hates everyone - I'm not surprised!
I'll stick it out til Tesco get back to me, but I'm going to phone o2 back tomorrow about that interview they offered me;) No point walking out on the first day so I may wait il a better offer comes along, harsh reality of life my friends! x
