phones suck

Today, waking me up from my blissful sleep was a military recruter. He wanted to know it I had looked into any of the services (as he put it). I said no. He said you mean not yet. I said no. He asked what I wanted to do after high school, I said medicine. He asked what kind. I said chinese. He asked how that was different from our medicine, he said

You should talk to Rachel, she's going to be going back to Canada after graduating in May.

Good going. I freaking hate when recruiters call me. *fumes*

Why move to Canada?
Why not stay here and fight for change?

Military recruiters are fun to screw with. Nice job on the Canada answer. :-)

Recruiters wouldn't leave me alone in high school. One offered me West Point and I asked him how long it would be until I got shot at. He said something like "Enough time to make it worth it!" and I asked him how exactly going to a military academy on the other side of the country where I can merely delay being shot at seemed worth it when I could get better schooling in my subject without even having to worry about being shot at or travelling very far. He paused and I told him he took to long to answer and hung up.

I really don't want to be shot at, nor do I exactly agree with this whole war and violence thing.

If one calls back act like he's called a telemarketer. Try to sell him long distance and don't give up until you've got his credit card! :-)

Hell, point them in my direction. I'll try to recruit them right back.

Good job at the diffusing, keeping your cool, etc!
It seems recruters have become more obnoxious and persistant than when I was going to school

It has to do with their quota.
