I make my living on the telephone calling donors of the blood bank I work for to make appointments to come in and donate blood. Very niche if you think about it. I work in a small call center with 15 other people. We all make our living dialing people up and appealing to their charitable and altruistic nature to help save lives. Calling is a thing you do and a thing you accept.
The key to calling is the hope someone picks up or you can at least leave a message to ask them to call you back because calling is a two-way street. No matter who calls being polite and respectful is helpful because you never know what will be asked of you or opportunities you have to do amazing things. Trust me I have heard it all in the responses I get. The one thing I have to do is keep smiling and dialing because I like the roof over my head and I like to eat. So every day I am hanging on the telephone and hopefully someone will call me back.
Do you find yourself writing about the same things more than once on your blog? I seem to do this all the time. Looking back I see where I have posted about similar topics and didn’t even realize it. Maybe its good to see how an idea can mature and be developed as you go along. Perhaps its a subject or idea that just needs reinforcing.
I just hope it doesn’t mean I am running out of ideas to post about therefore potentially boring you, my followers.

It appears that our friends at WordPress.com have changed the post composer. Your posting options and settings are on the right while there is more room on the left to create awesome works of genius and inspiration. I am OK with change as long as it makes sense.
The uncertainty of the world has everyone on edge. Our nerves can only take so much. We all have been nervous about something or another. We have all waited for something we really wanted and we were not sure we were going to get it. Perhaps it was the results of a test that could determine a school grade or our quality of life. There is an element of fear in being nervous because it involved the unknown and a level of anxiety about where things are going to go in the future. Nervousness is a legit emotion and feeling at times it is something you have to feel and experience.
