Ugh I was thinking about telesales today. Nasty business that.
We weren't even allowed to say the phrase "free gift" as the idiot customers we called up took it to mean the newspaper we were selling was free (which it most certainly was not!!)
I was the one most frequently accused out of everyone of "telling the customer the newspaper was free" when I never bloody did.... maybe I made it SOUND free by saying stuff like "come on - give it a whirl!" but surely that was the whole bloody point. They'd never have agreed to such a crappo "special" offer in a gerzillion years any other way!!!
I guess I am just your average kid trying to make his way through high school, and then maybe, just maybe try and do something with his life. I plan on being rich someday, but I have come to terms with the fact that I know that if I am not rich, I will have given it up to do something I love

Man if that's what it does to the brains I'm glad I never worked there: my job was telesales!
