This Post Has No Title

My first week is now over, (I know it wasn't really a week, but I'm a part timer) and I don't think I am any better at this than I was before. I'm not entirely sure I'm cut out for this type of work. I am not exactly a people person, I'm quite shy and not particularly out going. I am not good at holding conversation with people I don't know. This week has been hard for me.
I am exhausted. Who knew that 5 months being unemployed would mean 3 days of work could knacker you out so much? I am so tired this post may resemble the last one, in its nonsensical ramblings and unconnected...
So I thought I would fill you in on what has been happening. I have been given no training, so I don't know what I'm doing, I think they are just expecting me to figure it out as I go along. Today I have called 70 people. That seems like a lot to me, does it seem like a lot to you? Apparently that should be my hourly target. Yeah. That is ridiculous. How can you call 70 people an hour? That's impossible. You would have to literally listen to one ring then hang up, and forget talking to people, that would take far to long! Apparently the key to successful telesales is... enthusiasm. Who knew dull, bored sounding people didn't sell as well as happy believers? I have been told to be more enthusiastic 10 times today. I was not amused.
But I will persevere! ( I spelled that so wrong the spell checker had no idea what I was trying to write. It thought I meant "lip-service" for some reason.) Upbeat and positive thinking! Yeah!
In other news, I went out sober and actually enjoyed myself. I think this is the first time, sober or not, that I've had fun in a club. I don't like clubs as a rule. They are hot and over crowded and full of creepy drunk people and the music is generally dire. But tonight I had fun, and my friends made my week much better, so I would like to take this oppertunity to thank them for that. Not that they will ever read this. So yea... on that note I think I will leave and go to bed. Or go and watch tele or something. It's 1am but yea... tele... Zzzzzzzzzzz
