I just had the best, most tension relieving conversation with a stranger...
This jamoke walks in my office, (right past my ABSOLUTELY NO SOLICITING sign) & proceeds to explain all about Aflac supplemental insurance policies that ever American should have.......
I put my hand up, asked him to look at the piles on my desk... and explained to him that I was not hired for my inate capabilities in turning away door to door salesmen, but that I get paid for diminishing piles of paperwork handed to me by the man who signs my checks... and should I, or anyone else who is actually a very nice person need supplemental health insurance, copier ink, or heated socks be so inclined to purchase these items we're probably full well capable of finding them in the phone book and shouldn't have to spend time having conversations like this...
I find it unfair and rude to put people on the defense immediately like that. As soon as they come through the door of my office or bug me at home, I want to tell them to just find another line of work because it's very intrusive and impolite. Almost an insult. If I want discount picture frames or perfume I will do my best to find it myself...
Crabass out.
