I had once attended a Cosmetics company recruitment drive but when I saw all the people who had turned up I left without even signing up :)Violethttp://violetcrush.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258579499152310249.post-56246710716580051602009-08-10T12:53:31.196+01:002009-08-10T12:53:31.196+01:00Amanda - Oh, yeah, I guess that kind of makes sens...Amanda - Oh, yeah, I guess that kind of makes sense. Yeah, we have Odlaw in our books too which definitely makes more sense knowing about Waldo :-)Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819784931932219371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258579499152310249.post-84206437112322488972009-08-10T02:40:55.867+01:002009-08-10T02:40:55.867+01:00But actually, probably one of the reasons they cha...But actually, probably one of the reasons they changed it here was because Wally's too close to Willy, and i don't think they wanted that connotation given to juvenile kids.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258579499152310249.post-57685394967853789682009-08-10T02:40:12.887+01:002009-08-10T02:40:12.887+01:00Yeah, I read up on it on Wikipedia after seeing yo...Yeah, I read up on it on Wikipedia after seeing your post, and apparently the franchise was bought all over the world and the name was changed to a ton of different names: Where's Charlie, Where's Walter, Where's Effy, etc. Apparently the American/Canadian Where's Waldo has become the most popular of the franchises, and the author named Waldo's nemesis Odlaw, which didn't make a lot of sense anywhere other than the Waldo areas.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258579499152310249.post-10622550867909358692009-08-10T01:15:55.672+01:002009-08-10T01:15:55.672+01:00Amanda - Yeah, telesales jobs are what I'm avo...Amanda - Yeah, telesales jobs are what I'm avoiding because I know I can't do them. I would have never applied to this cosmetics company if I'd known they used those kind of techniques. I believe Where's Waldo? is the American version of Where's Wally? Where's Wally? was published first and then they changed the name to Waldo for you guys (God knows why - it's not as if you can't pronounce 'Wally'.)<br /><br />Faye - Yeah, kid books ftw! Dr Suess isn't a huge thing over here but apparently it's massive in America with kids. :-DCerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819784931932219371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258579499152310249.post-35499782797809896092009-08-09T19:11:33.642+01:002009-08-09T19:11:33.642+01:00I still read kid books 2.

This was back in the summer of 1999. I went through the weeklong training, and then went one day on the phones. I hated it. I just couldn't believe in what I was doing, so at the end of my shift, I quit. I guess it's not a good thing to try to sell to people over the phone when you believe they should just hang up on your.<br /><br />Where's Wally? Interesting. In the states, it's Where's Waldo? Same pictures and everything. My kids love Waldo, and someone recently spraypainted an outline of him on the entrance to my subdivision. Yes, the people who graffiti in my neighborhood are very juvenile, but i guess that's better than gang graffiti.<br /><br />I'm glad you got to feeling a bit better, though.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.com
