To everyone who thinks working on a chatline is 'easy money'

[FastasleepInABunnySuit]

It flipping well isn't!

I would have posted this on my original thread but can't find the damn thing, sorry

I have to get up at 2am to work, and I didn't even feel so sick with nerves on my wedding day, it was an awful feeling.... hopefully my confidence will kick in for tonights graveyard shift....

You get callers who want to do awful things and you have to hang up, you get really rude people saying you're sh*te who hang up in the middle of your conversation... you get people pestering for your address and you're not allowed to hang up just dissaude them... and then you get hilarious weirdos! But then I couldn't think of anything much to say and my calls lasted about 7 minutes each... and each one was as nerve-wracking as the first!

Is anyone else who was interested in the chatline thing working yet?

(Please let tonight be better than last night!)

FA just wanted to wish you luck for later.

I think you're V.V. brave BTW, and I certainly don't think it's easy money. Best of luck hun.

in 8th grade, when we were 13, dana bennett and i used to be able to prank call just about anyone and chat sexy to them w/a straight face at slumber parties whilst the other girls dissolved into fits of laughter :o.

I'd love the texting!!!!!

Thanks for all the good lucks, I'm going to do it, and I'm going to be good. :)

Expat, you could you know - we could support each other and giggle together, it would be like the slumber parties again

Do you have an American accent? You know that would drive them wild!!

Good luck for tonight, FA x x x

Thankyou hunkerbmmunker (and you know what I mean )

nice to see you about again

I do. I have a lovely Texas accent. 'Hey, handsome! How ya doin' tonight? What's my honey wearing this evening?'

I'm wearing your money - on my back, on my feet, in my handbag

:o

I'd happily give you my manager's number if you like... you can bend him to your will in seconds I tell you - although they really only want graveyarders... (but giggle a bit and he'll ask when you want to work..) they pay you more for graveyard shifts too...

I don't know whether to rely on my imagination or faff with reading out stories, I seemed to get in a right mess trying to find an appropriate story... maybe if I just wrote vague ideas to get me started like 'dominatrix - chain him to wall, tie him to bed..' etc etc to get me started!

Expat your there already, you would have them flocking in, think of all those ££££'s

Read the stories for ideas. If anything, it gives you confidence. A bit like revising for an exam, when you think, 'Right, this is just re-hashing what I already know. Nothing new here. Deep breath. One word/question at a time.'

Sure! Gimme his number. I'm at kaperkaille AT gmail DOT com.

I'm an insomniac, anyhow.

I have a right cow for a work colleague and my mat leave will be up soon.

At least the punter goes away after a few minutes. This work colleague rides me arse all day.

Just waitressing in that strip club, I'd bring home £100+ a shift. Cash. 'And how are you enjoying your evening, sir? I hope I'm not disturbing you, but can I offer you anymore refreshments? The bartender makes a fantastic Long Island Iced Tea (one of hte more expensive drinks in the house) that should set just the right mood, sir.'

Now throw me some fucking money, you sad bastard so I can pay off these damn credit cards and keep up my gym membership :o.

Do0 you have another phone FA or do you have to be called to your own mobile or landline? Does the phone ringing not waken your babies? Couldn't you go to bed and just get up when it rings, or do you spend all day with your babies and then clean @ night in between phonecalls?

It sounds like fun!!!! In fact, I think i'd be good at it LOL

Expat if you did it with me I'd be like the happiest person on the planet lol... I'll email you :) we could msn at the same time!!!

You can do it on any phone, I find sitting downstairs was the best idea (I am a newbie though!!!) I don't think you could sleep at all in between the phone rings constantly... luckily my DH is happy to feed DD through the night for me (always has been he's a love)

I was shitting myself too much to do anything other than mutter 'oh my god oh my god' between my phone calls last night - but cleaning sounds productive, hey maybe I could do ironing work while on the phone

I'd clean, iron, paint, etc. whilst doing it. I've known folks who have.

embroider? cross-stitch? make breast milk soap (you could even do a running commentary for that one )

Good on you Fastasleep!
You are quite a gal.
I admire you tremendously.You really are onei n a million.

exactly, moon. that's why i'm telling her, she'll be fine. you'll learn to get all kinds of things done. they're punters. that's all. same as if you were pulling pints in a pub.

Quite (I've done plenty of that.)
But for better money.
I think they would love the stumbling 'I'm new to this' approach actually.
Just don't mention the lactating fgs,or you'll attract a whole heap of ultra weirdos.
(Someone on another thread innocently googled 'lactating wives' and had a nasty shock.)

IS there a site we could go for a read and details of how to get signed up~

I think thats where Expat has disappered too

Expat?? you still with us, or you on the phone strutting your stuff already with those £££ signs in your shoe,handbag & where ever else? lol

i was just checking my emails for this manager's number.

show me the money. show - me - the - money.

Expat?! It didn't work on hotmail or aol maybe I did it wrong somehow, could you email me first (argh I'm so annoying)

[email protected]

Google datapro services, I found emailing them quicker than calling the jobline.

Moony, expat, I don't know why you're so incredibly nice to me but I really don't deserve it you know

Once I get into reeling it off quickly I will deffo do my embroidery at the same time

i just sent one!
