I love how they think of everything! In the life after next (in which I wanna be a postlady) I would love to be an actuarian. It must be fun sitting there and calculating all the risks involved, and think of all the nice random potential conversation you'd have! You could sit and compare how sharks and crocodiles and most random beasts have got nothingg on denting our mortality in comparison to driving a car.


This Indian telemarketer called today about Telstra. Aiya he was so obstinate, I felt so bad saying no all the time. I'd say "you take care" and he'd keep going and say things like "Ma'am can't you see this is a better deal". But aiya, he wouldn't admit he was from India, despite the fact that there was lag on the line, he kept calling me ma'am all the time (ozzies never say ma'am) and he understood my Hindi however poor it is ;) I wanted to practice my hindi on him tooo..

They tri so hard though. Like we were on the phone for about 20 minutes.
It must be such a hard job, I feel quite bad I was pretty rude to him when I said "yea when you talk to people don't say ma'am they know you're not ozzie otherwise" but he just continued saying "Yes ma'am, but did you know.." and he just kept going on..

I hope he got a customer eventually, he deserved one for all his persistence.

People must be so rude to them, I don't know if they realise how often their calls come? We get at leastt one a day and they've asked for every member of the family. Once one even asked for our Medicare number 'to verify our details' *cough*..man and i knoww there are ozzies out there who would just give it without thinking. Narf. Sorri..

Yea anyway I hope they do good. I'm sorry that I was rude to you Mr Alfonzo from Melbourne :( Good luck with whatever you do.
