I am DONE telemarketing! They gave me a cake, and let me go early (with pay) and gave me a card and it was very nice. And it's DONE which is nicest! Huzzah!

...And today hardly counted, because Dick had a training session for us, and that was an hour long. And we had to sing Happy Birthday to Cheryle and eat her cake, so that took a while. And Shane got McDonalds for those that wanted it, so then I had to eat my fries... well you get the idea. I think I made about 18 calls, and that's it. Less than ( Read more... )

Okay. So I have decided to officially end my telemarketing career (please God let that be true...) as of the 15th of April which is also my cat Miss Pepper's birthday. A day of mucho celebration. I will leave for Ontario on April 24th.

I feel very weird about it. On the one hand, I am really glad to be getting away. Ontario will at least be a ( Read more... )

So my first call of the day turned out to be a highly evil contact. The conversation went fine at first. He was asking about Agility, and how we work. And then he asked where I was calling from. I said I was calling from out of state, but told him where our head office is. He demanded to know where I, myself, was calling from, and I told him. This ( Read more... )

I am going to Sackville, Sackville, Sackville. I am going to Sackville, to see Drew's play. Hurrah!

Of course I can't really afford it. I have 20 dollars less right now than I am supposed to have when my pay check comes in on the 15th. And I will have a lot less after this trip. But some things are worth it. I'm so excited.

Also annoyed though. ( Read more... )

There's a blizzard warning in effect! That means that I might not have to go in to work tomorrow!! Or it might mean I still have to telemarket, but get to spend half  an hour digging my car out of a snow bank first. Uch. Also, sucks for stradden if school is cancelled.

My hamster Hamlet died last week. I am sad, but he had a good life. And all the actual members of my family (grandmother, parents, dog and cat etc) are quite alive, so I think grinning dagger wins on the mourning front.

I got my rejection letter from the agency that I interviewed for. Once again, I am not worthy to do anything other than harrass ( Read more... )

I got a call today from a prospective employer! They want someone to stay up late at night and keep and eye on things at a house for special needs folk. This is what bcdm  was doing in my dream that I had a coupla months ago - only he wouldn't go because he couldn't find his work porn. And we all agreed that he is a real slag.

Maybe that could be me!!

Man, if no snow comes next weekend and I have to go to work next Monday, my body is going to feel so confused. I must say, though, that this is really quite enough. Actually, I'll take as much snow as they want to throw at me. It's the gusting winds that I resent. If I had to LEAVE Sackville and an entire life that I held dear, I should at LEAST be ( Read more... )

Oy.

Well the good news is that I got two sales today at work -FINALLY. So on February 14 I'll be one hundred dollars richer, and my Account Executive promises that "this is just the beginning". But we'll see. If i had every sale he's promised me, I'd have... 300 dollars. So I guess he comes through 1/3 of the time. Months and months later. Actually ( Read more... )
