"Hi, my name is Erin and I'm calling on behalf of Webco Information Technology Systems. I was wondering if you would like to take part in our free 30 day trial offer.."

So, I am no longer unemployed. I'm back in the wonderful world of telemarketing.. though this job does not require that I make sales. Which is part of the reson I applied there. Another reason is because these places always want people who are fluent in English and well, I *CAN* speak french.. but for the most part I just don't. But anyway, the place was pretty cool considering the type of place it is. The guy who interviewed me has been in the business for 21 years. I can't imagine how someone would actually want to be in this type of business for that long. I'm only doing it cause it's easy to get the job and easy money and that's what I'm looking for right now. Just something to pass the time and pay the bills until I can move. The only problem I have with the place so far is that it's painted yellow. But other than that is was alright.. they were playing beats and the guy who is in charge had a poster from SONA of Ritchie Hawtin on his desk. Though, I don't know what I'd do if I went to SONA and saw this guy all partying after hours and stuff. But seeing as I don't really go there that often anymore.. I really don't think it'll be a problem. And actually the hours aren't bad either.. I got my choice of a shift from 11-5 or 5-10.. I took the 11-5 one. It still gives me time to do things in the morning and it doesn't have me working all night. Though, I don't know how long I'll actually be working there.. I'll have to see what it's like. I'm really picky sometimes. But whatever, for now.. it's something. I'm going to have to see if the Employment Counselor from my school calls me in the next little while.. if not I think I'm going to give her a call and see what she can do for me. I'd prefer doing something to do with what I went to school for.. but.. whatever..

Speaking of school.. I went there today for a bit. I hung out with this guy who was in the semester behind me but screwed up and is now back in the second semester. I saw one of my old teachers who owes me money and he was all "Hey Erin!" like nothing was wrong. I just ignored him. It's not like he can't afford to pay me back the $50 that he owes me.. but for whatever reason he's just being difficult about it. I haven't talked to him in months and don't plan on talking to him anytime soon. I'm expecting to get a phone call from him at some point.. more likely than not. Though.. hopefully not.

Anyway, yeah.. that's about all I've got to say for the moment..

"Thank you very much for your time and have a wonderful day.."
