Just remember that if anyone asks, act irritated that you were called in on your day off because the guy who was supposed to do it fell sick, then catch yourself and say "anyway, no time to chat, I got a quota to meet" before grumbling about how you should have listened to your mother.

This is absolute gold.

One of my first jobs -- My wife said I would call her and go on mumble rants for about 10 minutes, and she's talk me down from quitting because we needed the money. It was all a blur, but I remember doing those calls while getting coffee or a sandwich, and always remembering that my orders always came out 100% perfect and really fast.

I was probably annoying AF and workers just wanted to get away from me.
