This stuff can be fun if you let it! Automated voice that said her name was "Emily" and she was having trouble with her headset. So I went through the process until I got a live person. Ended up with a guy who said his name was "Drew". I proceeded to keep him on the phone for about 15 minutes asking HIM questions. I asked him how long he had been at his job (two weeks), how old he was (30. Married 13 years with 2 kids), how much he makes doing this job ($10 an hr, or up to $250,000 annually (!!!) with commissions), if he does his own taxes (he said he did), had he filed his taxes yet this year (No. He didn't work last year). So we started discussing how a guy goes from not earning any money in calendar year 2016 to a job that pays up to a quarter mil a year (says he just got lucky). I asked him how I could get a job there and he said he was trying to sell me a vacation package or something like that. I told him I was waaaayyy more interested in making $250k a year than going on vacation. At that point he asked me why I was being so nosy. I told him I wasn't nosy, I was inquisitive. He said it was the same thing. I said no, they're not. So I actually convinced him to google the word "inquisitive" and tell me if the word nosy was in the definition (it wasn't). They must get paid to stay on the phone because I couldn't get this guy to give up. Late in the call, he said I was getting too personal and was wasting his time. I reminded him that I didn't make the call, I RECEIVED the call from his company, and I didn't feel like my time was being wasted. I told him if he didn't feel like talking maybe he could patch me back to Emily. He said Emily was a "robot", not a person. I asked him how that could be because Emily seemed to have a better personality than he did. I went back to inquiring about a job at this fabulous place and he said they weren't hiring. I said not hiring? But you've only been there two weeks!! Were you the last one in? He said they hire quarterly so I asked him to find out when the next quarterly hiring bonanza would take place. At that point he said I could talk to his supervisor if I wanted to, but I told him that I liked talking to HIM. Then he asked if I wanted to be put on their do-not-call list and I said Drew, are you trying to get rid of me? He said if I wasn't going to book a trip there was nothing more to talk about and he didn't like answering all the questions I was asking. I reminded him that I had ZERO interest in booking a trip but if he ever wanted to chat he could call me any time. And I fully expect to hear from him when they start hiring again!!!!
I listed the call type as "Prank". I was the prankster!!
