how is phone selling? isnt it very frustrating, since every says theyre not interested immediatly

no no, i loved it - but wouldn´t have as a long-time profession. but it´s quite harsh if you gotta phone non-stop for 4 hours. wears you out a lot. but i got 50Euro CASH for 4 hours which was quite something. non-taxes. and i had to do with old people only, most of them former doctors or just being wealthy. and some were half-deaf which had me screaming on the phone....my boss had been sort of an old mafioso....oooooh *sigh* those were the days of cash ...

E12.50 an hour? im gonna get me one of those jobs!

yep, but it´s quite difficult !!!! people don´t easily think you´re honest at all selling stuff over the phone ...i had to tell those people --pensionists who once bought at a "auction house" or however it´s called-- that the former owner of the house, prince blahblahblah has gone bankrupt and now marries blahblahblah and we have taken over the stuff, fine carpets ...etc. i had to talk for like 5 minutes almost ..hehe. some were so into it, others just hung up. it was fun in a way but also quite frustrating at times.

I hate telemarketers..

without hate, there cannot be love

maybe thats why they get paid so well

As soon as I hear that empty space, I hang up..That's the tell-tale sign of a telemarketer..

Haha.. well I've to be carefull with that... my grandma has the tendency not to say anything in the first minute.. don't think she understands how it's possible to hear someone who isn't in the same room as her

Good ol' granny..

Recently, my friend invites me to her "exciting" sleepover. I was all excited to have a girl's thing because we never have the time to hang out and when we went there all we did was watch movies and go to sleep. It was so hurt. I miss those old days where we'd scream out the car window at people and do other crazy stuff. It's like we got old and all we want to do is sit and do nothing.

I hear ya, banana..I was the maid of honor for my best friend and any time I talked to her, it was just strange..Like our chemistry is gone..I figured it was just the wedding getting in the way..But the bachelorette party wasn't as fun as it should have been and she was so boring even AFTER the wedding..We just spoke for the first time since the beginning of September the other day and it was still odd..We're just not n'sync or something..She's just so..Yuppie and boring now.. But I don't want to lose her cuz we've been friends for over 20 years now..Get this! We started our periods in 6th grade within a week of each other..AND we lost our virginity within a week of each other! Plus, we both found out crazy shit about our dad's on the same night!! I love her to death..I just wish we could laugh and be stupid together like we used to..

Yea it sucks when things change between friends. I used to walk home or walk to school with this one friend of mine. We'd talk about everything, but eventually we stop walking together and now when we talk it's all awkward. It makes me sad.

yeah, juno and i used to be really good friends, but i just find her boring now...

Seriously. Evil is all like, I like Muse. I have red hair. My car is named Brutus Jesus Martin. Blah, blah, blah. Crazy whore.

Ha ha. Such a good impression. It's all so true.

Oh, and I also wanted to say that just reading the subject of this thread makes my mood go down a bit.

Just reading YOUR subject makes my mood go down a bit! Snap! Hahahahahahaha.... that made no sense.
