Oh man - you're not doing charity fundraising are you!? I did the training for that for two days and I just felt that their methods were so soulless that I had to quit.
I desperately need work, right now, but I would never go to that again.
But! Your hair does not look mullety. And I like the position of your tattoo - it's really different and it sits well there. Nice.
Yep, for over three months now. It's mildly less soulless than when I briefly cold called selling conservatories, but yeah. They constantly try to justify the methods they use by pretending to actually care deeply about charity and stuff, but it just seems like such bollocks to me. I hateses it with a passion.
Thanks! I like the hair, tis as un-mullety as they could make it with what I had! With the tattoo, I purposefully went for a placing that was a little bit different and off centre, so I'm really glad that someone actually noticed!
My stars and my maple leaf are deliberately in slightly odd places, too - I just think it shakes it up a bit, you know?
But with the company I trained with, they gave us scripts to feed to people who said they were poor or on JSA or a pension.
Which is just horrendous, as far as I'm concerned. I'm on JSA right now because no one wants to leave their jobs until after Christmas, and it is a genuine pittance - how they can have the gall to ask people on as little as this to donate money (and not just that, but totally guilt trip them on the phone - because I'm sorry, but no matter how they want to look at it, saying 'You can't afford that? Okay, well let me tell you a bit more about the poor, tortured animals a bit, and then ask you again...' is guilt tripping people).
Ugh. I just could not stand it; just the training made me feel awful.
Yeah, that's the bit that chokes me too. Because I have to ask three times on most campaigns, I usually try to avoid the guilt tripping as much as possible and go for the "even a smaller amount could do THIS much stuff!" or the "put it off til THIS month!" angle. Which is why I HATE HATE HATE doing NSPCC because they make me say this stuff about kids ringing childline having taken overdoses and I do NOT want to try and convince people who are broke to give me their money by dangling suicidal children on their consciences
( ... )
Wow I really like that that tattoo! I'm too cowardly to consider getting one myself (and also too young) but I really like seeing GOOD ones on other people.
And also, you look weirdly like one of my cousins! Just a random fact for you. =P
Thank you! Yeah, I'm totally still in the tattoo honeymoon period. I gaze at it lovingly throughout the day... XD
Once I got over my fear and got my first one, I was HOOKED. Only money issues has made me wait this long for number two here, but my head is already filled with ideas for more...
Also, maybe I AM YOUR COUSIN! OOOOoooOOOOOOH! Ahem. Sorry, on a bit of a sugar high after eating some left over Arthur cake.
