A Pensioner ,Credit Cards and Career Path....

While driving from sending Kak Long for her PLKN programme this morning, I over heard my HM's conversation with a caller from a credit card promoter. Being a 2nd.  day Pensioner herself, the tele-conversation I believe would be more or less in this manner....

The Promoter: Puan Zuraida Idris , good morning,
The Pensioner: Good Morning, May I know who is calling?
The Promoter: I'm xxxxxxx, calling from XXXX Bank and we are now promoting our credit card ....
The Pensioner: I'm sorry, I'm not interested to apply for another credit card.......bla...bla...
The Promoter: bla....bla...
.........bla....bla...
The Pensioner: ....bla..bla...

As soon as my HM finished the conversation, I told her, why didn't you tell the promoter that you are a pensioner, that surely can shorten the conversation pretty quickly. She immediately replied , yeah I should have said that to the promoter......Being a 2nd day pensioner, she was not getting used to her new "career" path..

On her 2nd thought, she said if I told her that I'm a pensioner, my existing and highly active credit cards would be in jeopardy and can be terminated.... My reply to her.... good for me....ha..ha....that would slow down my monthly cash outflow...

Talking about career path...in the newspaper today, a new 60+++ year old lady mayor for PJ was announced...good for her. From the photo and her statements  I can see she  really means business. Even the other guy was having a difficult time to give a smile for the cameraman.... Her career  track records surely explain something, otherwise who would want to employ a nenek for this kind of job.  Alternatively, she would have been a pensioner minding her kids and  cucus......just like my HM......
