What do you do for work?

Calling people unsolicited is rude.
Ever think about that?
Your whole job is to politely be rude to people.
You rudely call them, they have to stop whatever productive
thing they're doing to deal with you, then you call them rude.
It'd be ironically comical if it weren't so maddening.

I once read that the department of the army has an entire laboratory where people do nothing but try to decide how much caffeine to put in each of the food rations.

That's not what I do... but... if I could start all over....

Humm I could see you doing that . Actually I can see you being put in charge of how much caffeine is being put in army rations .
We can call this caffeine department Maxwell House . Sounds fitting hu ?

I could be Colonel Caffeine.

That really has a ring to it... a jittery, nervous, can't-sit-still kind of ring.

I really like Tn, I live on the Ky/Tn line, so I can enjoy the best of both states. I think all the mountains are near Gatlinburg, much of the rest of the state is flat, or hilly, with lots of streams, which I love. Colorado would be nice to visit but I do not think I would enjoy living there all the time. I wish you the best in choosing.

Socreta I think you are the only person on the forum who has a more stereotyped job than my burger-flipping job. And I can see your point - man's gotta do SOMETHING to earn a living.

But as somebody who gets a lot of those calls, I gotta say it's (bleep) annoying. If you actually call me yourself I will at least be civil and politely tell you I'm not interested. If you have a computer call me and recite a prerecorded spiel, that's what really irritates me. Anybody calls me and burns up my time for their purpose that I never asked to hear about, at LEAST have the decency to talk to me. If someone plays a robo-call at me I will either hang up or wait to hear what button to press to talk to a real person so I can ask the person why he interrupted my day just to play a recorded message at me.

So yeah Socreta I can see how your job would be frustrating. But you gotta understand our irritation does come from somewhere. The rudeness you are getting does have a source and cause.

classified.

Ya gotta understand, they are just trying to do their job. I agree it's annoying to get a call unsolicited. I used to work a job going door to door selling internet...I hated doing it, but it paid the bills and I even had the opportunity to pray with a few people.

So I guess you are saying, don't answer it when it rings eh?

I work matiance and landscaping for a mobile home park and I do the housekeeping for the church Im a member of, but thats more charity on the churches part than work on mine. And I do whatever else my boss/landlord needs of me, deck building, painting, whatever. I love what I do, I think if I worked doing something else I'd get bored and want to get back on my mower or trim some tree limbs with a machete. Lol.

Ah, that explains it. I found a comic with you in it, just last Saturday.

I love this idea renewed_hope
I always find it so interesting to hear about what people do for a living.

I stay home with my 2 boys (I home school them--grades 3 &9)
I'm also a vocal coach. I take people who already sing, and get to work with them to take their voices to the next level. The best part about this job is that I focus mainly on worship leaders and worship teams. I love it!

Hi. You probably get song this a lot huh? I sing by the way, not professionally but its one of my passions

I must need a nap because each time you write "medical devices", I keep seeing "medieval devices"

Yes, I certainly DO get that song a lot (surprisingly it makes me smile every time though).
I love the fact that you sing. It's great to meet another musician/vocalist!
