I can never be a telemarketer

As if it was something I was considering, but I learned this weekend I can never make it as a telemarketer. I was one of a team of 12 on Sunday that called all our parishioners asking for donations for the bake table. We spent three hours dialing, leaving messages, getting hung up on etc. I literally rubbed my elbow raw after leaning on the table that long on the phone.

For me I only had one hang up and everyone else was so nice. I did enjoy some of the conversations I was able to have. However, some of our teens were not as lucky. They were hung up on, a few were yelled at. For some this time of activity is super hard. You could see it in their body language. One kept rubbing his head and sighing in between calls. We made it but should I ever look for a new career, telemarketing will not be in the list.
