NO. MORE. TELEMARKETING!!!
can i hear a HELL YEAH?! :)
the manager's finally come to her senses and realized that telemarketing is a dying business in australia, and has finally moved the whole team onto doing customer upgrades.
which is not only a heck of a lot easier, because people are now actually willing to speak to you, and if you play your cards right sometimes they even like you enough to joke around a little bit and take what you're offering them for the next two years. we also now get commission if we manage to attach new services and the hours are better.
i don't deny that it's alot less draining for me - since before i kinda got a little cut up about selling 90 year old pensioners a plan that would cost them what little they already have.. and lying through my teeth that they would have reception in their area even when i wasn't too sure about that.

so yes, at least i don't come home from work now ready to sink my teeth into the nearest unfortunate person. thank God for that, coz i really don't know how long i would've lasted doing telemarketing. i was getting pretty aggro after every job.

moving on, yesterday i visited the courts as part of our pre-term-homework for law. the magistrates court was like i expected/remembered, only worse because all we did was hear bails get approved or remanded and that was basically it. i don't think we even got to hear the offences committed. it was a very touch and go sorta thing and i kinda felt sorry for a judge in a magistrate's court, doing a crappy monotonous boring job like that everyday in a wig that looks ugly and i bet itches.. it's the kinda job that someone's gotta do, but no one particularly loves i think. i literally entertained myself by doodling a picture in my notebook. i drew a house, sun, animals, etc etc.. very intellectually stimulating it was.

so we moved onto the county court which was definitely where the big boys were :) im talking hardcore criminals, like rapists and stuff. unfortunately we didnt get to sit in the rape one, coz i would've greasied the dude with all my might for sure. anyhoo we randomly picked a court and on our way up, i did something damn embarrassing.

i crushed a judge in the lift doors.

enough said, it was an accident but still my face was burning and i had to endure the rest of the lift ride in awkward silence with charles smirking at me and giggling.

i am a fearsome judge crusher!! =D

anyway, the case this time was more interesting, involving some sort of fraud with a hardcore chinese dude who was even involved in that box hill stabbing case some of you guys might remember? the one in 7-11 where some guy died. anyway it was quite an experience watching the guy get examined and questioned and put under a whole lotta pressure by a tightass prosecutor who fired questions mercilessly and relentlessly, as well as a tad ruder than he had to be.

come to think of it, the prosecutor probably thought that we were related to the chinese dude LOL. heheh. a whole row of asian kids sitting in a chinese mans examination.

anywayyy. i leave u all with another odd spot (yea, that time again)
- the average person spends 2 weeks kissing in a lifetime
AND
- women on average manage about 7000 words a day whereas men get in only slightly above 2000.

owwwie, my cramps hurttt.
