I used to be a Telemarketer - Pretty darn good at it too. I could have sold Jesus a Bible.
I became one during one of those transitioning phases of my life - I retired from the U.S. Air Force and couldn't get a job. Since electrocuting pigs wasn't my thing I opted to pestering people - which I actually enjoyed (I know, I'm a prick). I discovered I was real good at talking shit and selling even more useless shit that people never needed or had no clue what they were buying (like Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance - most uselss shit on the planet - next to Obama and Rush Limbaugh).
Anyway, I used to love getting old geezers on the phone like you - made for a nice break in the routine. I lost my job because I had one on the phone for almost an hour. We talked about everything... It was a great conversation!
