I can't get anyone to call me back. I guess things are going really, really well and they don't need any help.<br /><br />So I'll just watch "What Not To Wear" instead.

If I really lived in Chicago, instead of just for 1/2 my life - and you called me, I'd say yes. <BR/><BR/>I really would. <BR/><BR/>If only just to convince you to meet me for a drink. <BR/><BR/>Okay, I'd bribe you into it.Reehttp://hotfessional.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-5827435000483939432009-04-03T06:47:00.000-05:002009-04-03T06:47:00.000-05:00I totally feel for you!

The ones that pissed me off the most were the ones that would ask all these questions and then go, "No thanks. I was just curious." <BR/><BR/>I still hate those people. <BR/><BR/>If i weren't so lazy, I would totally hunt them down and suck an hour of their life away that they will never get back.

The good news is they won't ask you to do it again. :-) They only asked me once at our old school to call people for the annual fund.<BR/><BR/>And did you really have dreams as a telemarketer? If you did or did not, you should read Nature Girl by Carl Hiaasen. It's about the ultimate revenge on a telemarketer. But I digress, which is much of my problem.....TP Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247974158424154468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-57418154642559200412009-04-02T16:15:00.000-05:002009-04-02T16:15:00.000-05:00Poppy, you haven't called me yet.

So says the former GS troop leader, cookie mom, choir mom, church everything mom, PTA mom. I had to get a job to get out of the volunteer gig. <BR/><BR/>Call me.

And it was mostly old people I was calling - they A) wanted to talk my darned ear off about how I could be doing a better job and 2) how can retired people be too busy to spend an hour on something?!? GAH.<BR/><BR/>But I digress. Hope someone says yes to you soon...maybe instead of asking for a huge committment (or what sounds like a huge committment) you can break it down and ask for volunteers to do very specific things?Colleen - Mommy Always Winshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642830408176398204noreply@blogger.com
