You used to be a telemarketer. What were your worst experiences?
Somebody else was. I never wanted that kind of job. But it was a legal one.
I bet that if I ever did I could tell the hyper judgmental folks just by asking them how their day was. Someone who came back with an arch answer, I’d say “Bless your heart” and hang up. If they were sad or happy then I could be sympathetic or cheerful.
