I had a friend who tried being a telemarketer for a couple weeks during high school because the hours were perfect for what he was looking for and the pay was decent. At the end he was almost in tears, "Dude, it's not like I want to be there either! It's not like I *want* to call them at the hours they make me! Why are they so mean to me."
I still had my fun with telemarketers though :) I was always a favorite of the "IS THIS 911?!? I NEED HELP OMG THERE'S SO MUCH BLEEDING *click*". My dad was more of the "polite let-down" kind of person while my mom would get angry and lecture them. Now I don't get any now that I'm in college. It's like a piece of my soul has been stripped from me :blush:
I've found I've done most of the things listed above. Except licking a metal pole in winter.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
