A Telemarketer Called Me At 5 O'Clock in the Morning!

A Telemarketer Called Me At 5 O'Clock in the Morning!

So, I was having trouble sleeping last night. Truth be told, I still haven't slept. Not that it's a big surprise to have trouble sleeping, I do have insomnia.

In any event, I was just starting to wind down and potentially fall asleep when my phone rang. I looked at the clock to discover it was 4:50 in the morning!

Irritated, I answered the phone. Some guy, an obvious telemarketer, asked for me. I was in such shock, I could only say, "Do you know that it's not even 5 o'clock in the morning?" He apologized and wished me a good day.

A good day? Are you kidding me? After THAT? It was bad enough that I couldn't sleep (something for which I have at this point lost all hope, considering my children are awake and just finishing breakfast in the living room). But, now I have this moron calling me at 4:50 a.m.?? What, was he drunk?!

As an interesting side note, as I write this out, wishing I could adequately portray screaming and eye twitching over the internet, through the written word, I looked over to see a Xombyte entitled "Anger Management". I'm going to need some of that, after I fantasize about shoving a telephone up that telemarketer's...

Telemarketing

When somebody calls you and start promoting a product. Automatically tell the salesperson to put your number in the "DNC" or Do Not Call List. With that the company will not call you for a long period of time. Actually there's a LAW regarding the DNC stuff but its only applicable to Telemarketing companies. Some companies calling our households were Research Firm, those conducting surveys and getting your opinions or the service you received from that particular product. http://www.xomba.com/balanced_diet_will_keep_you_healthy_and_mentally_alert_proven http://www.xomba.com/getting_the_most_out_of_vegetables http://www.xomba.com/do_you_like_your_face

The Myth of the Xombie

I'm not saying 'you're typically too verbose!' ('Your words are the nourishing droplets of the purple rain!') I'm saying that I'm sure most people are expecting deep wisdom to pour forth from the pages of the PangeaCat Bytes and Blurbs, and so it's good to know that even the most intellectual of us Earth-Angels can take a break from being as 'verbose' as one might expect!

Question about the "Do Not Call"-Registry

Does it 'red-flag' your phone-number; I mean, does it automatically block your number even if some company tries to add it to the company-database AFTER you sign up for "Do Not Call?" or do you have to 'trust' that all the number-grubbing companies dutifully check their new numbers?

Well, in this particular case

It wouldn't have mattered because I was stupid enough to request additional information online. Ofcourse, they aren't legally allowed to call before 8 a.m., but apparently something was wrong with this guy's computer, he's on the east coast, and I'm on the west coast. His computer or his brain, whichever, didn't take time zones into account. But, I do believe we are on the national do not call registry. Losing Weight and Feeling Great!
