Telephone Wars

I remember being a small child and being so excited to hear the phone ring. I was so excited when my mom allowed me to answer it. I quickly learned, of course, of the dreaded telemarketing calls.

Considering my 3 year stint with no home phone, and very few cell phone telemarketers, I had forgotten how fucking annoying telemarketers were. Now, without caller ID (which the bastards at AT&T would charge me for)I have to assume that a call incoming is one from friends, family, etc. This of course is only the case 25% of the time.

So, just about 10 minutes ago, my phone rang. Im in the process of getting ready to take a nice hot shower so I'm half out of my clothing. Then that fucking phone begins to ring. Pants half way back up I fumble downstairs (after all this could be like my mother calling about christmas). I search for a good two rings until I see the phone on the kitchen table. I breathlessly answer. The lady on the other end says "CONGRATULATIONS MRS. LOW ERR OOD! YOU HAVE WON...." I didn't get past that point. I interrupted. "I'm sorry this isn't Mrs. Low err ood, can you please hold?" I then come back up stairs and think I must post my bitching about the telemarketers prior to said shower. Wait...she's still on hold. DAMMIT HOW RUDE OF ME. But not quite rude enough. Next time I must have a better plan. Suggestions? Anyone?

Finally

After a few (very very long) months...I finally have the internet back! Thus I have the loverly ability to blog once more. Isn't everyone just happy? good! I shall keep this blog brief as it is bordering on dawn and the zzz's are calling.

I am no longer a student. Apparently nursing is not my thing, I may or may not discuss this in length later. This of course means that a good percentage of my blogs with be bitching about the life of a retail drone (huzzah!).

My brain is mush at this hour after doing the whole drone thing for most of the night so I can't think of anything to entertain my rapt readers (hmmm what ever happened to him...) So for now I bid all adieu with the promise of more wakeful and entertaining blogs to come.

You all missed me...admit it.
