(Im thinking a 12 ga. Benelli SBE II with some goose shot would be appropriate for the job - gets the job done without being too messy.... but if you want total obliteration a .50 caliber would also work very well.)

No other clothing.....

Actually I am excited about today as I get to train the new Inn Keeper that has been hired for this position.

Hopefully in another week I can get out of here to rejoin my sweetie in Spokane in our new house!

Spare the people who actually talk to you. It's probably the only job they could get trying to get into subscription renewals and technical support when those jobs were outsourced to India, and if they quit, they don't qualify for unemployment. You need to target the company owners and upper management.

SimplyMints · 02-10-2009, 02:52 PM

By the way, if they're American, they're probably not reading. They've said it so many times, they have it memorised backwards and forwards, and they've heard all the angry personal threats, all for $2.50 per hour plus sales commissions. If you don't want them to call, the most productive thing you can say is, "Please add my number to your do not call list." Then wait for them to confirm before you hang up, or their computer won't give them a chance. It will just jump to the next call when you hang up. If you use those words and do that, they are required by law to comply. If that doesn't work, nothing you can say to them will help. Threatening them certainly won't help. Most of them probably go home every night and contemplate suicide anyway. They work at a job where 97% of the people they ever talk to express pure hatred toward them. By the way, swear at them, and they're required to hang up. But the catch is, they're usually added to a re-call list so another rep will call.

I used to work at a call centre.

Hi, Mints. You sure are a little ray of sunshine today!

I wish I knew how. My avatar is one though, at least for me it is

You say that though, and I think of Dr. House when he said, "Your are a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day." He was in drug rehab at the time, and he was sarcastically reciting a line the rehab centre gave him. It makes me laugh

But if you know who I'm talking about, you probably know that

society's_child · 02-10-2009, 03:25 PM

I should be enjoying this spring-like weather were're having lately, but I refuse to do so.

Would only make it that much more depressing once Old Man winter comes roaring (and I do mean roaring) back.

House is one of my favorite. I model my sarcasm after him.

Don't be silly. Make hay while the sun shines. I am wearing lightweight cotton pants and Birkenstocks. Tomorrow back to all layers and Crocs.

I'm off to grocery shopping even though I'm sick as a dog, but there is nobody else to do it for me, so I must go! I wish I had a food replicator .. or a butler.

It is sacred. I also have a beanie (hat) that is a green dog on one side and a robot when turned inside out that one of my daughters gave me. No pictures of that one though.
