That's what you'd like to tell them on the phone, isn't it?
But seriously, phone work is stressful. Now, say, a bricklayer might hear you say that and wince, but it's true.
I remember one time I was telefundraising. This meant cold-calling out of phone books for the State Troopers for a doantion to a dubious cause. They got their small car sticker for their pledge. Anyway, it was a wild job, a real-live boiler room, and I had this terrific night (good money for me at the time). I made eighty-five or so bucks in four hours and at one point my back sort of felt pinched and hot, but in the fever of the pitch (hehe) I ignored it. Anyway, I woke the next morning and my girlfriend couldn't get me out of the bed because I really couldn't move. Anyway, it cleared up the next day. I've done some harder jobs that require manual labor, and although some made my back sore in the beginning, I never threw out my back at any of them like that one night telemarketing. hehe
so, we would call rural Georgia and basically, i was an actor at this job and put on an accent...i wasn't one of those people that tried to act like a trooper or claim to be one, however. & i outsold those people most of the time. ;;'';these are probably the least of the stories...hee
