Shop Around
Last night I got a phone call at home from someone wanting to speak to Meeeester Grrroompy. I told her he wasn't available and she asked if I was Meeeeesus Grrroompy. I could answer, half truthfully, that I wasn't. She was calling from a telecommunications company, trying to flog us something it was highly likely we didn't want. She then asked if I was the person authorised to make changes to our phone account and I told a wicked lie and said I wasn't. She hung up then, sounding rather confused, promising to call back later. I sincerely hope she doesn't keep that promise. I don't like being unhelpful but when I want to buy something, I'll get in touch with the retailer of my choice.

These people usually include a 'how are you today?' as they start their sales talk.
If they want to know, tell them.
Start pouring out your dissapointments and lost hopes. Tell them about the voices in your head and your desire to go back to your former workplace with the semi-automatic hidden under your floorboards.
I doubt they'll call back.
Hang on, have you been eavesdropping on me?
Brilliant advice. I must try it some day.
