Loved this, Paul!

The mundane comment: I worked several times as a between-jobs telemarketer back in the day. Caller ID was not a thing at that time; now, it seems that nobody answers if the caller isn't in their contact list (I know I don't). Telemarketing must be waaay more difficult now than it was in the late 80s.

The tragic comment: Sorry to read about your BART experience. I guess sometimes no good deed goes unpunished.

Telemarketing really peaked in the 90's...soooo many people saying "Telecommunications has arrived" when really it was already dead. It amazes me that people still do it today.

keep breakin' pattern!!
