Telemarketer

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about telemarketing jobs. Xiaohan, as well as my Merlotians have all told me about this particular job opportunity. Without a flicker of the switch in the brain of the wise sheriff, dPx declined almost as immediate as they finished their sentence. But why the dislike for this job, you ask. I'll tell you why.

dPx has worked on more than one occasion as a telemarketer. Unpleasant experiences to the least. The pay's good, sometimes alright, but it's not dPx's favourite part-time. You get mocked, you get sick, and you get shit. Like this:
dPx: Hello, I am a telemarketer selling condoms. Give me 5minutes, won't you, and you'll see yourself benefitting from this 5min of attention.
Potential CKP*: I don't use condom.
dPx: You must be kidding uncle. You sound like an out-and-out chee-ko-pei from the outskirts of Gey-Land.
Confirmed CKP: I don't patronise Gey-Land.
dPx: Ha. Funny. I bet the reason is that you can't do it anymore!
Sobbing CKP: Kid, you are right. The condom has grown too big for me I cant use it anymore. (sneeze)
dPx: Our's free size, Uncle. One size fits all.
Cannot-make-it CKP: ...sobz...
...Tuuuuuu....**

Or this:
dPx: Hello, I'm a telemarketer. I sell condom.
Ah-ma: Huh?? Condo? I don't live condo. Byebye.
dPx: No, wait. It's con-DOM.
Ah-ma: Huh?? Doom? My grandson kept playing the game Doom3, non-stop! You sell it again, I will spank your buttocks.
Exasperated dPx: Its..
Ah-ma: Haiyo, I gotta go for my session. Your 5mins up!! Ciao!!
...Tuuuuuu....

And this:
Deadbeat dPx: I am telemarketer. Condom. Want to buy?
Female Operator: I'm sorry. The nmber you just dialled is not in use. Please DON'T try again later.
Pek-chek dPx: Fuck off then.
Supposed-Female Operator: That's not funny!!
Shocked dPx: .....
...Tuuuuuuuu...

That's it for telemarketing. dPx ain't that desperate for money anyway, although he's ridiculously cheap and poor. Sighz.

*CKP = Chee-Ko-Pei
**Tuuuuu = Sound of dead phone. Duh.
