A conversation:
Melle: *calls salesrep* Hi, It's Sofie from the call centre. You left a message on the voicemail this morning?
Salesrep: That's right, Sofie. Sofie, I need [blahblahblah], can you do that for me, Sofie?
Melle: *already twitching slightly* Sure, can do! Could you tell me [information]?
Salesrep: I'm in the car, Sofie, so I can't get that information, but [information I can also use, though it's a lot harder to search using this].
Melle: Okay, I'll arrange for that.
Salesrep: Thanks, Sofie.
Melle: No problem, have a nice day!
Salesrep: You too, Sofie!

When people do that, my first instinct is to flee. When unable to do so, my discomfort level rises WAY too high and I attempt to block out every other word (which is usually my name). *twitch* I can't stand that quirk some people have.
I couldn't give you a response about your job, however, since I don't know how the job market is in your parts. There are many on my flist that are having a hard time finding a job at all (from everywhere).
Good luck and hang in there.

And I, too, chose 9 because I refuse to doubt the bottomlessness of some people's annoyingness/condescention.
