I guess it's sort of pulling a Peter Gibbons, but I don't think I want to go to work today. Or again, for that matter, at least not at this place.
It's a telemarketing place, which is important, because as you might know, we're approaching Christmas.
People are stressed. They have family over. They need to buy presents and cook dinners and etc.
They most certainly don't want to deal with somebody calling them up and trying to sell newspapers, and I don't want to deal with their rage.
It's been hellish enough dealing with customers who can't seem to believe that I don't control what time we call, that I don't magically know they're eating dinner right now, that I didn't serve in the military (seriously, I've been yelled at several times for that one). Worse are those who proposition me or threaten lawsuits, or ask for my home number so that they can call me. It's like that most of the time, I don't even want to think what it'll be like now.
So I think I might stop going to work. I've only been there about 3 months now. Problem is, though, this is the only job I've held, so I don't have other experience to list. It's not like I actually need the money; what I need is covered. It's more that I could really use it for things I want. I'm sure there are plenty of jobs out there, but this is the only place out of about 50 I applied to that hired me.
I don't know. My advice to you is, never, ever, ever go into telemarketing. Anybody have advice for me?
