Today wasn't long, but it wasn't the most awful. Honestly, it's something I can't see myself doing for two long. It's only my second week there, but... calling and stuff is pretty awful, because four hours really drags on, and just the process is really trying. It's like, you have to ask people to give up their money, and usually they say no, but you have to get at least TWO no's from them before you can give up and move on. Since they can be listening to our calls. And people can be super rude, and stuff... So it just kind of gets blurgh. Especially if you're not doing so hot, and not getting very many donations. We don't take credit card info or anything, just ask that we send them a pledge card, and they send it back to the charity with a donation.

Yeah, even though I haven't been there that long, I have some crazy stories already. We get some strange people, and very rude people.

you are a trooper, kitteh... i don't think i could do it...

i just bought the outfit... i didn't do too much research on the site... but i read a lot of the customer reviews and such... i hope that is enough *shrugs*

Yikes. I know I couldn't do that. I hate the phone enough that I'd honestly rather do... well, anything else. And people can definitely be rude. And... yeah. Good luck with it, anyway! Try to stay sane!

It'll probably be fine, Linnea. :)

Oh, and Linnea, before people start really showing up, how do you want to work the posting order thing?

hello. I made sure to get on before you started a party without me, but man I was really distracted there for a second by the drum going crazy outside my window. all tribal and insane! *stares out window again* I wonder what I'm missing.

Showing up for what?~

oh good question.... maybe we should make the order as they show up... you know like you were here first so you go first, i was here second, and so on and so forth...

I wannna be 6th!

yeah, linn has the right idea.

hello again, kat!

but kitteh you were third silly

Linnea: Yeah, that would work. :) So, what's the current order? Me, you, Kitteh, then Kat? Between you and me, who was technically here first is kinda up in the air...

Hope Facade gets here soon. :)

hi linn. I think I might go paint some more, but I won't get off. I'll be back when my song ends.

But... but... I like the number 6! -pout-

are there even 6 of us?

i have been off and on all day so it doesn't matter to me...

you're still at it, kat? you are dedicated!

kitteh, you can still like six... and 3 is half of 6!

----------

there is just us 4 so far... unless we have lurkers

So far, Kat, there are only four. But Facade should show. (I told him 8 or 9ish, Eastern, because I wasn't sure and that's about when things seem to get rolling.) That makes five. Sara comes to these, and Zea...

I still don't even know what I'm 3rd in line for!

haha sorry, kitteh.... it's a youtube video party!

We have YouTube Parties on Saturday nights, Kitteh. This week we'll be posting music from movies. :) If you want to start looking for videos ahead of time, that helps. (At least, it helps me!) Of if you just want to watch, that's okay, too. It's all up to you!

wow that was a short song. I didn't finish my square! yes I'm deditcated linn because I have to do 50 sketches over the weekend. I have 32 now.

Like... videos from a musical, or something?

I already have my first song picked!! now back to more art. I'll be back again when the song finishes.

Kitteh, I've been focusing on movie scores, mostly, but I bet it's different for everyone. If you found videos from films like Moulin Rouge or RENT or Phantom or something, that would technically work, too. :)

(I capitalized the wrong part of Kitteh's name! Silly me...)

Movie scores? /Confused.

i'm all about the musicals lol

Yeah, Kitteh, you know the instrumental music you hear in some movies? That sort of thing. There's some beautiful stuff out there. :)
