Hello my name is Alice, I'm calling from Marketmetrics...

I've said that so many times today, but I've heard answering machines and unanswered ringing more often.
That's right, I had my first shift at the market research place. It's so simple, the only hard part is finding someone who'll actually speak to you for more than a few seconds before claiming "we don't want any" and hanging up. I don't know how else to say it people, I'm not trying to sell you anything!!! I got 10 surveys still, I think... To be honest I lost count and i'm not 100% sure, but that's how many I think I did. Apparently that is an awesome figure, especially on one's first day, plus each survey in todays lot took around 15 to 20 minutes, and there aren't that many people around who have that kind of time to be hung up on a phone.
Please people, don't listen to telemarketers, they have sold their souls, but listen to me and answer my questions. It actually helps you for the companies to find out what you want, they can't give it to you otherwise, duh!!
okay, there's my whinge done. I'm going to have a wonderful healthy tea, take the dog for a walk, and open up my bottle of Baileys.
Night chickidees.
