Yes, I vaguely remember that I did not make it past the three-month probation for the telemarketing job in Virginia Beach. The person who laid me off said that I had not met the sales quota so there was nothing more to say about that. There was another guy working there who succeeded and he saw me at school and was talking about that and suggesting that maybe I did something wrong, which I cannot imagine how that could happen. All I ever did was read the script so they could not be complaining about that. The only other thing that I can think of is that I failed to buy the crystal thing that was offerd for sale during a break time. But there was no remedy for that. We were as grass that quickly fades and is shoveled into the fire, as the Psalm says.
Weird that I would be getting mail about that years later, from Ed or whoever that was, attempting to reconfigure the story.
