Telemarketers

I did something horrible last night. I yelled at a telemarketer on the phone. I know it doesn't sound that bad because they call and drive people crazy all the time. I was a telemarketer (or somewhat of one! - I wasn't good at it) for about 6 months at my old job, which will remain nameless, but I called bookstores trying to get them to pre-order an upcoming product and blah, blah, blah. Some people were nice and some people were not nice. I didn't like it to say the least - but I HAD to do it. A girl can only take so much rejection in one day!! And this pushed it to the limits. I said when I left that job that I would try my best to never be mean to another telemarketer EVER! Well I miserably failed last night. A guy from a phone company (starts with an A and ends with a T) called to see if we wanted to switch from our current service to their service.... I politely said no and told him thank you for his time. He proceeded to raise his voice to try and get me to, I guess, understand him better. Like I didn't understand him the first time he explained it..... So saying it louder obviously was going to make me "get it." So I said in my best authoritative tone that I didn't want to switch and that they don't need to call me anymore (all the while he is still talking while I'm talking...are you catching on to my frustration now?) So I proceeded to yell "NOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!!!!" into my phone and hung up. I immediately felt horrible and realized I just acted like a 6 year old throwing a temper tantrum in the middle of Krogers.

So when I woke up this morning, got ready for work, and got Layne up and going - I said out loud that I was sorry for being so immature. Layne just looked at me like I was crazy (and this is how he usually is looking at me anyway.) So we get in the car, I take Layne to his summer care, and take off driving to my job. I'm sitting at a stop light and I say out loud "I am going to have a great day!" and as soon as I said this statement a large bird pooped on my windshield. Not a little bit, the poor guy must have been really sick, but A LOT. I am wondering if the "not named" phone company has trained birds to come and crap on your car window if you don't switch to their service?.......
