This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Unsolicited sales calls - especially at modern day volumes - are about as well-received as someone knocking on your toilet stall to try and convert you to Jesus.
Getting a call center job to overcome your fear of phones sounds like getting waterboarded to overcome your fear of drowning.
Obviously it's not a universal experience but it worked for me. I was on a help desk where I was actually able to fix shit for people though, not doing sales cold calls or something annoying like that.
Ah, fair. That can be a very different experience, especially if you're working with a consistent group of people who recognize you as someone flying in to their rescue.
Yeah, prior to that as a teenager I worked at an auto shop which kind of let me dip my toes into dealing with the public. I could work the counter or if I got overwhelmed just stay in the back. That helped too but I hated the sales aspects of it.
