Short one....

ya know...Its been a long time since I've done phone work. Constant phone work. I forgot how much fun it is dealing with the public over the phone. Fun, frustrating, down right hysterical at times. This phone gig is a trip!

(did ya'll know I used to be a phone hoe? yessirebob)

I've been up all night, for the most part, taking calls. 2 stand out in my head right now.

1. I ask this older/elderly gentleman for his email address. He told me he never uses it. "its the spawn of the devil you know" he says. I just about died. He was ordering bible books. Go figure.

2. This (love old people) (again) elderly, I would say in his 80's ordering information on discount prescriptions from my old neighborhood no less back in NY. He was named after a foreign country and VERY Jewish, if you know what I mean. Funny as hell!! He was a dirty old man. Had me laughing trying to do my job. Wasn't easy. THEN towards the end of the call the wife wakes up. "what are you doing?" she says......Then takes the phone and proceeds to tell me that she needs to watch him cause he's loosing his mind and what was he doing on the phone with me. So I explained and then she was reassured that he didn't put them in bankruptcy, was just getting some free information and can I can't even tell you how long it took me to to convince her IT WAS FREE!! She was one of those...."Are you sure", "whets the catch" and even went as far to say "I hope I'm still alive when the information comes so that I take advantage of the product"!! OY!! They were so funny totally made my night.

and now I have 6 beautiful hours of sleep ahead of me before I get on the phones again. And then another long night. Fun stuff I tell you. But I'm glad I'm doing it. Its easy money.

have a good day
