Time to suck it up.

This morning i woke up determined to get shit done. 

Reality has kicked in and i need to suck it up. So i made the call. 
A call my mum won't support. But i don't care and can't afford to. Her "Wow, working in a call centre, great prospect and future *******" comments aren't going to pay next months rent. 

So I phoned 24/7 direct - a call centre. Whats the big deal you may think, and rightly so. It isn't one. This frowned upon call centre offers what my cafe jobs don't. Guaranteed money, full time hours and an easy escape route. The only catch is to sell funeral insurance. To me this sounds exciting. Yeah maybe it might be the most unsellable product of all time where people on the receiving end won't be too happy to discuss but meh. 100 hang ups is better than mopping up pretentious coffee stains.

An appealing factor of this sort of work is i may get to use my "this is something i prepared earlier catch phrase lines."  

"Why hello there, have you thought about what kind of debt you may leave on your kids when you die? What burden you will leave behind alongside your legacy? Don't let such thing tarnish your memory and find comfort in the idea that my call today may help your eulogy avoid being sprinkled with distaste. Its your lucky day because i can help you right now. Don't waste another 'dying' moment, because do i have the deal for you? As a proud embassador for Australia's most elite and supreme insurance company i can offer you sir, the deal of the day. You are one lucky person...."

I mean who wouldn't enjoy speaking a whole lot of bullshit to people who can't see you. Being able to entice people to such a fine product that some may think is unsellable is an opportunity not everyone will experience. That's what i think anyway.

Either way i have an online assessment tomorrow morning and i'm already smelling success. The idea of sitting on a seat without being told off for cleaning tables with an incorrect technique is attractive. And besides, my overall objective at this stage is to get some work within the television production industry. If i can earn some money and search simultaneously i may come out of this sane. 

In other news being unemployed is pretty cool. I get to hang out with my favorite person and dig for music. What better way to spend my free time. 

At the moment we are making a music mix. Its going splendidly apart from the fact what could take a day to collate and mix, is taking a little longer...

Anyway we are nearing the finish line. 

Here's a littler taster.
