Dec. 5th, 2008 03:35 pmSo it's the end of an era as Terry Wogan steps down from the BBC Eurovision commentator's chair. It's going to be weird next year without him, though I'm sure Mr Norton'll give us a few laughs - but I still wish they'd gone for Maria McErlane.
It was less than five minutes into the shift when I got the ultimate Mr Angry. Asked if he was doing anything that needed his full attention he snapped "I'm watching television and talking to an idiot who's phoning me." He ranted on until in the end he threatened to call the police if we ever phoned him again and I hung up on him mid-sentence. Less than half an hour went by before I got another angry customer, this time a woman who ranted how she wasn't doing the survey this time because she "has issues" and hung up on me while I was explaining that we'd leave it this time and try her again in March. Bloody rotate.
The rest of the shift went OK except for one woman who said she wouldn't do any more, offering the lame excuse that she "doesn't have time" and, when I told her it would only take 15 minutes, responded with a derisive snort.
It may be Friday, but no rest yet - I still have to run round the estate delivering leaflets for me ma...
