I'm feeling optimistic today. Not because of the elections - on that account there's no hope.

Assuming I'll finish the training, I seem to have a job.
And it's not even being a nuisance telemarketer as I thought when I applied. The call centre actually seems to be a serious business. The were even responsible for the donation hotline after the flood in Dresden.
Not that I doubt I will hate the job, but I regard not having to sell wine or lottery tickets as a Good Thing.
Pay isn't bad and they are paying full rate during training as well.
It could have been much worse.
