Hail Hundred-Dollar Bill Haystack

Jeff North
Writing submissions for associatedcontent is just as legitimate as being a sales agent dealing in satellite TV subscriptions. I think such creativity, as in writing script for associatedcontent, is a great independent contractor business.

In Las Cruces, New Mexico, which is near where I live, is a business called "Sitel". What this Sitel business is, is an inbound call center where the workers answer telephone calls of potential buyers of satellite t.v. service, if I'm not mistaken. A person doing this job has to put across a certain enthusiastic affect, I imagine, to keep the job. The person would not be allowed to sabotage the underlying purpose of the company--getting more people "hooked" on satellite TV and TV watching.

Personally, I don't want to take a job selling TV I don't watch TV and don't have a desire to. TV could be considered to be a mind control technique against the mental health and financial wealth interests of people. Why should I pay for an activity that arouses hard feelings in me, such as being made to feel envious because of images of Brad Pitt, his wife, and their new babies being photographed in their house, ankle deep in one hundred dollar Federal Reserve notes that were just hailed on and about them courtesy of the paparazzi magazine cloud of locusts ? People such as myself may not be conspiracy nuts in thinking that the Wizard of Oz, behind-the-curtains, flying-fornications jet set, is using TV to distract attention from their jet set ways, and using TV to tranquilize non-jet-set people into accepting stay-in-front-of-the-t.v. and go-nowhere-because-you-can-no-longer-afford-airplane-tickets-or-gasoline-for-your-cars lifestyles. And if you dare step away from the t.v. and step into the TSA lines at the airport, after methodically resisting for a time their whole do-what-we-want-you-to-do prefabricated behavior-stabilization structure, you had better act exactly right to get on the airplane and go.

I used to have a telemarketing job in Las Cruces, NM. Soon after I discontinued that job, the local newspapers started reporting about the fact that various call center businesses were setting up shop in Las Cruces. One of these was called Excel, and was also an inbound call center, in this case it served as a directory service for people calling in to get the correct phone number of whomever they wished to call. The newspaper people said that we citizens of Las Cruces and the surrounding area must face up to the fact that we are a call center industry community. I guess they thought people might be thinking we had become a boiler room community, especially to apologize for the outbound call centers that are strictly sell-things-to-people over the phone type businesses.

But some people are a little too proud to just take the jobs that the so called authorities think are best for people. It is good that there are possibilities and opportunities for people such as myself that are being provided by businesses such as associatedcontent.
