As a marketing director, I would naturally think you are one as well. Very clever wit on the phone. I had something very similar happen a few years ago and my response was "Why are you wasting your time calling my company when you can find out everything from Yahoo! finance". So the focus was not so much on them wasting my time but they were wasting theirs and the calls stopped.
If someone wants your service for the actual service you bestow they will call regardless of the DNC list. You can't please everyone, so worrying about that is not realistic. Any complaints that could be written up does not have to be legitimate. It may be something like rude customer service, broken materials, or overpaid postage. Know what I mean? I doubt a telemarketer will send a valid complaint that will reach your board of directors.

The obvious question is...are all your employee numbers on the DNC list? The second question is....are business numbers even eligible for the DNC list?

OMG....how creative you are! Your director should realize what a great employee they have and give you an appropriate pay raise for saving your organization lots of money from having to take and respond to those annoying calls!

"At this point I’m transferred to a manger or some higher up sociopath."
My favorite line. Funny. Thanks.

LOV E IT I HATE WITH A PASSION TELEMARKETERS!!!!!!

Obviously, you are one of those telemarketers. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate all input on my writing.

I was chased by a cicada! Those things are as big as birds!

LMAO! LOVED this post! i haven't laughed this hard in a while! I can only imagine what the telemarketer must of been thinking.

The best part of this story it shows how big an assbag you are.

When i get a chance I enjoy reading maxim theres much better stories in it than cosmo ever had they are also more graphic and have taught this old dog maybe a new trick here and there. lol

To the author - I say you should be a comedian. I couldn't stop laughing, although there is sad truth in your humor. This world is filled with so many inequalities for women (religious, work related, being taken seriously at almost any event). Then there is the bald, overweight, viagra guzzling man who can do no wrong. Anyway, thanks for the laugh.

I say the body is beautiful and what all of us can do with our bodies is even more beautiful. Why not feel confident in our own sexuality?

I would say the articles in Cosmo or other popular women's magazines are similar in nature to the articles in Men's Health and Maxim. Both of which are sold by the tic tacs and juicy fruit.

The only difference is the women's mags don't usually feature any full monty shots. The articles are certainly graphic, though!

You are doing great. I love before and after pics...so inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

What a terrific transformation

Well done lookin good!!!! You should be proud of yourself.
