Minnesota Nice is a Bad Thing??

Well it happened... After 12 hours of working at the tele-torture, selling funeral insurance, we got fired...

Every 2.5 hours we got a break, at our 5:00 break, James (our boss) took us into our office. He told us that this job just wasn't for us. We weren't pushy enough and we let the uninterested costumers go too easily. To make us feel better he told us that people with American accents don't do very well with this company, whether that true or not, we simply were just too nice on the phone. Hannah and I couldn't decide whether that was a compliment or not, but we were just happy to get out of there. We were torn anyway about whether or not we wanted to stay, so this made the decision for us! 

Today we spent the day by the lake, giggling about all the poor souls who are stuck inside the calling center making calls. It ended up being for the better, I got a job at the preschool for next week and Hannah has a job in housekeeping. We will be much happier people! 

Our lovely view as we sat, enjoyed the sun and read our books instead of calling angry people. 

Just a picture to remember the great times in the calling center...
