Telemarketing job.

They're usually shit jobs but I found out in the course of training that we were calling people who had cancelled their Wall Street Journal subscriptions in the days after people were canceling in large numbers due to the Rupert Murdoch takeover.

Like fuck you, this job is hard enough without hassling the very people who have already made up their damn minds.

All that and the sales quota prize had been stolen from the manager's office.

I quit when training was done.
