I also did some of that as a kid, and yeah, it sucked, but so did the place, and my best friend was a floor manager. Which is why I got to spend a few months fucking around and calling my friends and porn lines around the US and getting paid for it. The last job I did there, and virtually the only one where I actually made calls all day, was for some uber-conservative running against Packwood, a get out the vote and vote for our guy thing. I spent all day actively offending people in the guy's name.
I just hang up on telemarketers, immediately, if I ever take the call, these days. If they're kewl, they'll appreciate the honesty, and if they're the kind of eager beavers who will try to keep me on the phone as long as possible after I say "No," fuck 'em.
