| | yo, can I borrow a dollar?I finally have mustered up the courage to call places that needs to be called like C.C companies, student loan services, and personal loan services. I think it's all because of my training at language line services, my employer. It's not an easy job, but it's not tough either. there are a lot of technicalities that I'm sort of pondering over like how to dial out in case a call is too difficult if you're not certified to handle it. I'm also wondering about their online forum, I'd really love it if it were up and running with people posting there everyday like on ILX or IHM.
I'm terribly glad I have overcome this fear of speaking to people over the phone because so much can get done by telephone. One really needs to have the phone skills or at least the courage to get on the phone with some of these companies and ask the questions that need to be answered or to get the service they need, otherwise, you can't simply rely on email alone. the phone is always one step closer to real interaction.
right now I'm waiting for a couple to check out the apartment, the first thing the lady said was "oh we can come back if it's not ready" after seeing the plastic trash bags on the floor,. the thing is, I don't know where to dump my trash and plus it's raining outside so it would be shitty to dump all the trash....
anyway just got done with the first couple, they seemed unimpressed but eager to jump out of their current situation, except the problem being the size for the two of them and whether or not the place is big enough. the guy was polite and asked me at the end whether or not to go through me or the landlord as if he were interested, but honey, did ya forget something??? you're woman! how you'z gonna live with her in a bedroom this size? it's up to them really, I keep forgetting. Well, we'll just go down the list then, I have someone coming in at 1pm, a cancellation though without a message, how rude, and someone coming at 8:30pm, so I'm prety sure I can squeeze one or two people in between 1pm and 8:30pm! We shall see!
