I worked the phones for the Rosewater Foundation last night. Taking donations for the big TV show last night "Nope for Maybe"
"something like that."
It was a long hard day I must have put in a solid four hours of work during my 17 hour workday. I was doing fine till my ass started to drag around mid night and I decided to have a spot of tea for a pick me up. A bad mistake. Before I got high I had no problem accepting peoples thanks for the wonderful work I was doing. But after the tea I started to get uncomfortable with being just a hired hand and not a noble volunteer working for nothing.
One interesting call. Fellow wanted to speak to one of the celebrities on air. He said he was going to donate a lot of money but he wanted to do it on air.
I got no way to do that. I tried to make him understand he kept saying he was going to donate "big money" and demanded to speak to my supervisor. I tried to tell him we were very busy and he was taking up a lot of my time and won't you please make a donation. Because in the time I have spent talking to you about this I could have taken ten small donations. His big money was going to be 500 or a thousand. I could have taken in a thousand dollars in small donations during the time he jacked me around.
That is when I started to drag my ass and after that I was no good because I wanted to beg people to please don't thank me. It made feel like such a schnook. Also it was a waste of good tea too. I would rather have waited another half hour to two and smoked later and sit here now and type like I am holding the wheel of a truck blasting through the night sky in New Mexico right here in this text box now.
And fighting sleep for some reason. Flash back white freight-liner blues
