I tried being a telemarketer for a day.
This will hopefully demonstrate how I desperately tried to motivate myself:
70 calls.
No. who hung up on me: 1 (not too bad, eh? However, it was my first call)
No. who said “sorry, busy”: 1
No. who scolded me: 1
Common “on hold” tones:
- Greensleeves: 3
- The Entertainer: 3
- Moon River: 1
- Other unidentified midi-like tune: 9
- Radio: 2
- Jazz: 2
- Other tunes e.g. “Kiss Me”, “Uptown Girl”: 4
Guess who was my best friend for the day? An admin lady from Southern China. We had a nice time talking about Singapore vs. China over lunch.
Actually, maybe I should have persevered. Hmm, nah. The office is too quiet, the pathway to the toilets are too clinical, and the toilet itself is chilling.
To the bathroom: Getting there
