Home alone.
Oct. 3rd, 2007 07:39 pmJust had a call from the polling company for The West Australian. She asked me questions about politics and banks. Was there ever a time when pollsters asked questions that WEREN'T about politics and banks?
I quite liked this person -
Caller - Do you believe your financial institution cares about your needs and opinions?
Me - No to the power of infinity.
Caller *snort* Well, they're a bank, aren't they.
Then she asked me if I was interested in being part of a focus group. Since I am now GettingInvolved!Girl I asked for more information.
Me - Let me get this straight. They pay you up to $80 to go to a hotel and have refreshments and talk about stuff for an hour. Where do I sign?
Caller - Well, you do have to drive to Applecross, and by the time you park ::koff::but yes, they are quite fun and once people are on the list they tend to stay on forever.
The 'forever' bit's a bit chilling. If I start acting weird* you'll know I've been BRAINWASHED and am now involved in a CULT.
*Yes, yes, whatever.
