For those of you who are new here, my name is Matt. I write a weekly "humor" column for this here publication. Of all the writing assignments that I have to deal with week in and week out, this one is my hands-down favorite. But as is the case with most long breaks, I did precious little Friday 9.14 writing this summer and am now feeling somewhat out of practice. Thus, for my first writing assignment of the year, I would like to tackle a topic that is as easy as it is timeless.

Lucinda Williams @ M...(formerly Metropol)-Pittsburgh, PA Stop cringing. I'm sure you've all faced this exact same assignment before, and some of you may have even produced some award-winning essays. Most of you however, filled the space with mind-numbing descriptions of all the mind-numbing things you did during this most mind-numbing season. And your teachers, whose own minds were probably numb in some pharmacologically induced manner (the only safe way to cope with a room Monday 9.17 ful of screaming sixth-graders) barely noticed as they patted themselves on the back for getting their class to do homework without having to teach them any new information.

But none of these things were actu- COMPLETE CONFUSION ally substandard enough to fully inspire my usual self-deprecating technique.

That "something" was my summer job as a tele-marketer, a job that was truly straight-up whack. Let me first clarify things for the record by explaining that I was not exactly a tele-marketer per se. I was a Smooth. tele-fundraiser. Thus, instead of hounding unsuspecting consumers at home and asking them if they wanted to subscribe to GQ or if they'd like to switch their long distance service for the fifth time, I called members of impor- tant charities to ask them if they would like to donate more money to a worthy cause. The semantic distinction between marketing and fundraising made perfect sense to me as I read and circled the classified ad. People would absolutely love talking to me during their dinner hour because they were all so deeply committed to human rights, animal rights, and many other important kinds of rights. But while this distinction was sound in theory, it was damn near fatal in fact. What I learned rather quickly was that, in the eyes of most Americans, an annoying stranger calling at a bad time is an annoying stranger calling at a bad time, end of discussion. Whether you want them to help spread the joy and radiation of cellular phone service or to help them free political prisoners in Afghanistan, some people just refuse to be bothered. Since it's been over a month now since my last day at this job, I can safely say that I understand why. But while I was working there, it was frustrating as all hell. The only positive thing I learned from it all was how to cope with rejection. Rejection, I learned, can come in many forms. Sometimes people hang up on you. Sometimes they lie. Sometimes they yell at you because the person you just asked for is only four years old. Once I was instructed to place my left-wing [expletive] up my [expletive]. While I did not complete this request, I did fill out a comment sheet so that it might make its way up the chain of command to someone who would be more inclined to com- ply. The sum total of frustration from all the rude contacts I was forced to endure often made me unquenchably angry with even the friendliest, most generous people I talked to. Cigarette breaks became my only salvation. By the end of my term of employment, I had mastered many of the rebuttals they teach you to use when mem- bers object to various sales tactics, company goals, or political principles. I became quite good at denying any connection to the now-despised Ralph Nader and even convinced a few people that 1 actually know what I'm talk- ing about when it comes to the opera. I gently reminded all the people who asked me for my home phone num- ber that they merely stole that gag from an episode of "Seinfeld" and that I wasn't about to fall for it, and "thank you and have a splendid evening." But the most important thing I brought with me is a message of peace, one that most people are familiar with, but that must be reaffirmed whenever lower and more despicable classes of human beings are discovered. And that message is this: mechanics, tax collectors, network censors, and even tele-marketers are all people, too. They are thus worthy of the basic levels of dignity and respect that most everyone else takes for granted. Ultimately, it was robots that saved "Big Tobacco." They do not need to be cursed at or yelled at, nor do they need to have their eardrums ruptured by jerks who blow Not only did they never get lung cancer, but they also airhorns into their telephone's handset whenever they receive an unwanted call . Telephone rudeness scars no less had an unexpected fondness of "Flavor Country." than face-to-face rudeness, and is no more 'acceptable. I've learned my lesson, and have vowed to avoid this line of work altogether for the rest of my life. If only the rest of us could make a similar pledge to avoid the behav- iors that make this type of employment so gosh-darned nerve wracking. Today's Horoscopes—Information courtesy of www.excite.com
