    The arrival of telemarketing onto the internet, what an experience to welcome in. Chat operators standing by, herald the dawning of a new age. I was referring customers you see, telling them not to spend their 79.95 on search engines they could work themselves, in most cases at least. Ah well, this is my life and it is a little dull.
    So I'm wandering about and people are leaving, the people I wondered about. I keep finding new ones of course but they never are the same as the old ones I didn't quite know. The new generation of webbites, they talk about this a lot and I stand as one of the few and proud who doesn't think much about new but realizes I am being categorized again. At least I know how to use my search engine wisely.
    Maybe one day, I can be a telemarketer too.
    She tells me "I want to find the people that are missing in my life" and I tell her, I'm sorry. That just isn't within regulation.
