They want who as a new recruit?

So the army just called, looking to talk to my roommate.

"So you're the army? And you want to try and recruit my roommate? ...Are you crazy?" I said to the recruiter, and then started laughing my ass off.

Actually, Votania once tried the army. She quit, though, because they originally said she could work with demolitions, but then retracted that, saying it was too dangerous for a woman.

I laughed at him extensively, then told him he shouldn't waste his time here, and perhaps he shouldn't call back, and then continued laughing until I hung up.

I love playing with them. My 1/10th of what gets dished out to me at work. I'm pleasant about it, too... not actively rude like the people who cuss me out. Refreshingly, the other day, I had a very dignified-sounding man, after finding out who I was, give me a very long raspberry noise, and then hang up. I liked that. Masochistic? No. Bored, yes.

Are you a telemarketer too?

See, THAT I would be really good at.

anyway, this means that you at least understand the pressures of the telecommunications business.

It makes me want to hate people. But unfortunately I'm too smart for that.
