here we go again

This evening we received a phone call from a telemarketer, soliciting funds for the Sheriff's Benevolent Association or some such entity. I almost laughed, but cut him off quickly when he started to say, "so I'll just put you down for $20 ..." (even though I had already said that I had no money at all to give).

You see, I knew exactly what he was going to say, word for word. I read the same damned script yesterday when I applied for the same damned job. Good Lord. They have me starting next Monday.

I sure as hell don't anticipate enjoying this job, but even at minimum wage it is something to get me out of the house and bring in a little cash.

The interviewer said that I read well and he likes my voice, but I need to "project" a lot more. This is not something I do well. When I find myself in a situation that requires me to "project" my voice, I walk right up to the person I would otherwise have to yell at. I am sure that with practice, I'll be able to do it, but I'm not a shouter. I am soft-spoken. And that is fine with me.
