New Job

I have a job. Basically, it's telemarketing, but I'm trained not to tell people that because technically I don't sell anything. And its true, I don't sell anything, I just ask people for their money to get nothing in return. How's that for awesome? Anyways, calling total strangers does have its perks (and it's downsides). Here are some things I have encountered thus far.
-voicemail that said "Jesus loves you so much, that he died for you. Please leave a message."
-a woman that told me her son and husband had recently been hit by a drunk driver. (Sad)
-have called several people that graduated from my college with degrees in 'home economics'
-I called Dick Cheney (NO JOKE, his wife when to graduate school in Colorado)
-I had a co-worker who had a woman on the phone who was declaring her "blackness" and kept declaring that "I ain't white, I ain't white!"

That's the most memorable things I can think of to date. Also, there is a british guy who works there and I am convinced that his cute little accent gives him a leg up.
