The phone calls have gone through the roof. Dammit, quit calling me. I now am tired of hearing the phone announce who the latest asshole is, so I keep a whistle next to the phone. I wish I had a picture of the headsets being ripped off their head. Bunch of fscking butt-munches. Where's the Tylenol.

Every time I call your place, all I get is some electronic cowboy yelling bullshit.

Musta been a bad connection.

It was probably a dry connection. I understand.

I've taken to answering calls with the speaker phone and then, if it's a telemarketer, holding the transmitter up to the speaker and getting a good feedback squeal going. They usually hang right up.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
I was told by a phone company guy, that whatever db you put into the hand piece, that is the db that comes out. Provided they don't have a volume control. If they are wearing a headset, scrambled brains.

Isn't that a requirement for a telemarketing job?
"Everyone wants to be an AM Gangsta until it's time to start doing AM Gangsta shit."
Had a new one last night.
Synthetic voice; not a recording, as it responded (kinda) to some of my snide remarks. "Of course I am a person. What would make you say that?" (Oh, maybe the artifacts that come from computer generation) "Does my voice really sound that bad?" (In that stilted monotone? Made HAL 9000 sound good -- think of the scene in 2010 when Dr. Chandra is reactivating the HAL 9000, first working on the speech circuits)
Some of these telemarketers, professional fund raisers, and downright con men have no scruples, and no shame.
