(no subject)
Today, I got my first job post graduation. I'm a telemarketer. A glorified one, but a telemarketere nonetheless. I sell senior portraits to highschool kids.
I really doubt that I'll last long.
A) I can't sit still for 5 hours in a row.
B) I hate feeling like I'm pushing something onto people.
C) I'm not tenacious (that's what Sue my boss wants) enough.
D) I don't like competition. Being compared with Chelsea (not Chelsea, but Chel-sa, who wears goucho pants) who booked 7 folks tonight to my ZERO).
E) I really don't enjoy being talked down to - Sue told me the exact same "sales tips" (pressuring)three different times in two hours. I heard her the first time.
But hey, even if I last three days, that'll be some money in my pocket.
Really, it just makes me think. About the kids on the other end of the line. Will they go to the football games of their Senior year? Will they make it into their first choice college? Will they go to college? Do they drive fast cars and get drunk at silly parties? I'd like to tell them that none of it freaking matters. That senior portraits are basically bullshit and no one will give a crap what they looked like at 18 in 20 years (except for themselves).
Anyway, that said and done, I'm officially on track to being a bitter college graduate.
