So. I officially make $.59 an hour here :|

BUT THAT'S BETTER THAN WHAT I WAS MAKING BEFORE WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING 8DDD Because one of my appointments sold. Yaaaaay~

Oh man, I am starting to get sooooo apathetic about this job it's not even funny. But it's hard to stay positive when it's grueling work and you get nothing but negative feedback and you don't even get PAID. That and one of out team members has been out since like... last week Monday. Blah. I'm so bad at this. And the Account Executives (the ones who actually go on these appointments) are so fucking PICKY. JEEBUS CHRIST. Like... they keep telling us to try to get Attorneys and chiropractors and dentists and stuff, the problem is those are the hardest people to try and get. They've flat out told us not to call restaurants and salons and car places. Whatthefuck. Oh well. Fifteen more work days to go. Hopefully I'll make more than a grand total of $33.12.

I've made one appointment so far today. My call counts are god awful though. Oh well.

Uhhh... I had something else to put here, but I can't remember what it was.

... on the bright side, SUSHI FOR LUUUUUNCH~ 8DDD

82°F Out side right now. Poo.

This job was a whole hell of a lot easyer when there was a pay check invalved. My motivation just hit the floor. I'm speaking with the father thing tonight about it. Sex will have to take a back seat tonight too. Laundry....

My call counts suck ass too. Don't feel bad. On the plus side, 3pm PREP PACKS!

Yeah, I am and have been a professional gatekeeper for a law office. Good luck, I've only been fooled ONCE. And that telemarketer said he was on his way into a meeting with the attorney and was running late. Plus, get through and attorneys will be the meanest. I mean, what kind of reputable attorney gets his business through the yellow pages anyway? Sure, keep your number in there so people can get it if they lose it but otherwise...

Sorry things are going crappy.

memo / corporate crap

Honestly, I'd look for work elsewhere. My first full-time job hired for $27k/year with benefits (customer service), and I had NO phone experience. You're very talented, type well, and are well-spoken. I think you'd have no trouble.

Aren't there other jobs available closer? Maybe I missed if there's an obligation involved to working there. I just hate to see you having such a hard time.
