@AmySezenias I have exams and assignments dotted throughout the year so I'm over it now. I have a essay draft due tomorrow and I left my USB at school and I don't have a back up copy at home so consider yourself lucky you only have exams -.-' I'd kill for exams instead of assignments right now |

Do you know how many time a week I get called by those blighted? Almost four times a week and usually it is on the same day! I can't figure that one out. I got called 36, yes I counted, times by the same company over the course of one month. What the 35 other times I said no weren't enough for you, you thought you might give it one more go? Bloomin heck! And then there was that guy trying to scam me that I warned you guys about! Telemarketers bad! Bad! Bad. Bad! *Pants* Share your stories, the funny games you might play on them or just vent your frustrations. |

We get at least 3 calls a day at the beach house we stay in at Caloundra. Usually it's someone with an Indian accent telling methat our computer has viruses, no doubt trying to cajole me into giving them my computer details -_- I just hang up now. I'm too sick of it to be polite. |

@EveRabi oh Adelaide is the same, it never really changes :) yep it was back to work today and sadly I work full time. Boo. :( sadly that means my writing, as important as it is to me, is quite often put on the sideline. But I write in every spare moment I get! How are you able to work full time? I am so super jealous of you right now! lol |

@yme123 I get calls from telemarketers at the most inconvenient times. Most times it's while I'm at work. I answer the phone and tell them I'm busy but they just do not stop. What's with that? I know it's their job and all but seriously, someone says 'no I'm busy' and you go 'ok I'll call back later'. Ha! If only. I just hang up on them now. :) |

@yme123 they ring me all the time! And my 6 year old bro, picked up by one once and was like "Yeh... Mmhmm... Ok.... Yep..." while walking towards our computer and I literally ripped it out of his hands and said some words to the dude that should not be repeated here on wattpad ;) When they call, does anyone else hear a piano tune before thy start talking? We do sometimes... Agh! I hate them!!! |

I'm wondering if saying sorry you got the wrong number works... Lol maybe not. My uncle loves to mess with telemarketers and he puts on a thick Arab accent and random starts talking about camels. Ah poor telemarkerters he goes on for ages convincing them he doesn't want to buy the animals. Other times I just keep saying not interested and hang up...tbh I haven't had a call from them in a while... Better not count the chickens I guess. |

Hi guys! If anyone has any spare time to check out a new story I just posted (been nearly half a year!), it would be great to hear from some of you. It's only a preview so I can get a feel of how people respond to my writing style and if I need to improve on anything. http://www.wattpad.com/story/1722429-i-see-you-defined-by-love |

@CeeBella Can I have an interview? I'll fill out the form but it will have to wait till I'm on the computer. You can't copy sections for toffee on an iPad |
