Work Observations

*2/3 of the way through. Found taking a break after each page of 12 helps.

*Strange how each page of calls has it's own majority "theme" whether it's disconnected numbers (1st page today), single males (2nd page today), single females (3rd page today), people getting divorced, sweet, older ladies, disconnected first numbers. Makes me think more on "what's in a name".

*Why DON'T people blog about work? Presumably it's because they could get fired. But MAN so MUCH happens that I gotta get it out. At the same time, it's just work, so it really doesn't effect the rest of my life, unless I let it (which I'm perfectly capable of doing :D) .

*I have to stare at this while I make phone calls:

Mentally prepare (or jot notes, if you like) for different possible responses.

• The person you wish to reach might answer.
• Somebody else might answer for them.
• An answering machine or voice mail system might pick up.

From here.
Yes. I'm that person. It helps.

Update: WHOOHOO! I'm DONE with my 36!! Must. remember. not. to. get. distracted. in the midst of a page. Then, it seems to take forEVER. Also, Friday seems to be a lot of machines. Nice for me, but not so effective for what I'm calling for. In addition, when I talk to some of these people and they sound SO YOUNG I get slightly jealous that they have the money to be able to do what their business is with my Dad. I SO WANT TO BE THERE!!!!

My Dad just called me to tell me I'm cooking, which, yes, I am. Once I did the math I figured out I could knock this out in TWELVE DAYS. Now, I only have TEN DAYS to go. WHOOHOO!! Then, he says, once you're done with this project, I'll have another project for you. I told him, I am crossing my fingers it does NOT have to do with calls, but if it does DON'T TELL ME. He laughs and says okay, I won't tell you. AHHHHHHHH. Okay, I'm still crossing fingers it doesn't have to do with calls, but if it does surely he will not be having me call his entire client list again, right?!?! Right?!?! Maybe it'll just be appointment setting or talking to people who already know I'm calling. Aghhhhhhhh!!! Not. going. to. think. about. it. So. grateful. he is giving me the opportunity to work from home.
