I had absolutely no idea how to carry on a conversation with a disinterested listener, even with the training, and when I did get a person who played along, I had long chats that were completely unrelated to the product I was supposed to promote. What finally snapped my supervisor’s patience was when she came by on her supervisory rounds and found me sleeping at my terminal, snoring, while reviews on juicers was displayed on my monitor. To add to the ignominy, they fined me for noise pollution!
