Subject: The nights that help me survive my job...
I received my yearbook in the mail today. Huzzah. It's awesome. *thumbs up*

Also, our calling center was recognized for being at least 10% above ALL of our quarterly goals. These emails came from Brian Donnelly (The O in RuffaloCODY), and Duane Jasper (The D). We're excited. We rock.

I had one man talk to me for two minutes about how mature I sound on the phone and how refreshing it is not to hear 'a giggler'. Apparently his wife gets calls from PhiDelt girls, and they live in Florida. He commented that the young women there 'sound like children' and he couldn't believe I was a freshman. I was actually calling to talk to his wife, and he did end up telling me when I could call back. I thanked him for the information, and HE thanked ME for sounding wonderful on the phone. He was so excited.

I also called one or two of those old ladies who just sit alone in their houses all day and all they want is to hear a human voice every now and again. They seemed so happy just to talk to someone. I'll call those women over the people who whine at me ANY DAY.

So... overall it was a good night at work tonight.

I worked at a compeny that called people to get their opinions and I could not deal with it. I have much respect for you.

What company did you work for?
We don't do surveys unless it's some time in the fall. Then some of us get to call high school seniors and ask about their college interests on behalf of particular educational institutions.
Some people actually prefer to ask for money instead of the TQP's (jargon for the above calling pools), myself usually included. I like flexing my manipulative muscles... when it works, that it. When it doesn't it's ass. The element of psychological danger makes it a sadistic bit of fun some days.

I worked for Barnes Research Inc. and they had clients give them quizzes and stuff to ask. Some of them were like 15 minutes long. It sucked really bad. In the end I couldn't deal with it metally or physically and I quite a little less than a week later. Now I know never to take advice about jobs from my mother ever again.
