So, I'm interning in this supremely awesum organisation that throws up new and interesting challenges frequently. I  broaden my horizons everyday  at the speed of light and explore new avenues. A hefty pay packet, sexy colleagues in mini skirts and flexible timings complete the experience.
Or so I would have you believe!

Put your tongue back in your mouth, I'm just another bored intern with an "intern"et connection.
BUT, my "job" does involve calling up random people and ask if they have any buying needs. Yes, you read it correctly. Perhaps an example shall help you understand this better:

ME: Hello.
PS (Phillipino Secretary): Eyloo sir! aau aaar uu? (How are you)
ME: I'm good. I'd like to talk to the manager please.
PS: umm...saaaaa....wat eeeezz deees regaaaardeen? (Sir, what is this regarding)
ME: This is regarding (insert bullshit here)
PS: OK! AAAeeeel traansfaaaa uuu! (I'll transfer you).

And this is the best case scenario!!

It may even be like this:

ME: Hello.
PS (Phillipino Secretary): Eyloo sir! (company name)
ME: I'd like to talk to the manager please.
PS: umm.... aaaaa...fom whey u r koleeen? (From where you are calling)
ME: I'm calling from (company name).
PS: umm...aaa....ur naaime pleeezz. (Your name please)
ME: Shrey.
PS: umm...aaaaa....Shreeeeee??
ME: No. Shrey.
PS: ummm.....aaaa....Sherrry?
ME: shrey! (spelling it out) S. H. R. E. Y
PS: aaaaaaaa....S. A...??
ME: GIVE THE PHONE TO THE GODDAMN MANAGER!!!!

Anyhoo, once past the secretary, things become incresingly less intresting. So if I'm lucky I reach the purchasing manager, I explain to him the "aims and objectives" of the company and how we can "help" them get more out of life, and satisfy all their buying needs.At this point, one of two things happen:

1. The manager's head explodes.
2. The manager, as a whole, explodes.

I mean WHO on God's green Earth wants to be told how to get his job done?
Answer for rookies/phillipinos: NO ONE.

Anyhooo...in my wild adventures across the maze of telephone lines that criss cross fantastic lands and languages, I have come across a few things that just NEVER fail to entice people into the trap of saying YES. These are:

1. Its FREE!
2. Its absolutely FREE!
3. There is no hidden cost. This is completely FREE.

Lets face it, no one passes up on free stuff. Even if you give someone scented garbage for free, they will take it and keep it in their living room as Pot Pourri!! Besides this, there is no other workable technique that doesn't degenerate into the lurid world of outright sexual favors...for Free! And STDs have greatly damaged that territory.

Well, if your are looking for the great unifying theme in this post, as is present in all other posts...well then clearly you haven't read the other posts. So get to it all my "intern"et mates!! (I just love using that pun over and over again!)

PS: This post was earlier even named 'Of interns and the 'intern'et'. But that was not racy enough.
