Day of the Telemarketers

Today has been odd. I've had about 3 calls so far and they're all telemarketers of some ilk.

The nice thing is that the last two were from the same company and they are sending over a $150 gift prize thingy for a survey I did a little while ago. We just have to sit through a 15 minute demonstration of an air purifier. Hopefully they won't be a punk and will take the hint when we say we don't want any, but thanks for the gift.

What's with all the telemarketers calling on Valentine's Day?

*UPDATE*

It was a vacuum cleaner salesman. I've never had a vacuum cleaner salesman come to visit. He was pretty cool though. First Julie got mad at him but then he started commenting on my game systems and talking gamer to me, so I liked him. And our chair beat him up, so that was fun to watch.

The fact we had a $99 vacuum cleaner from 5 years ago meant we were likely not going to invest in his $2600 wundermachine. But he was cool about it. And we got a thing to go to Collingwood and sit through a timeshare thing. And he was also giving us hints on how to play with the timeshare people's minds, so all in all he was pretty cool. For a vacuum cleaner salesman.
