Terlit Torment
I'm going to have to say somethin' about the office tomorrow. I hate to crab, but the terlit situation is gettin' to be re-god-damn-diculous (as a drunk John Wayne would say). Apparently I am sitting about a foot away from the urinals next to a wall that is about as thin as cheap Venice Beach pizza. I literally can hear everything, except the tinkling. And who knows, maybe tomorrow I'll get lucky. I mean, I'll keep the office over a cubicle of course, but I'll at least let them know it's pretty loud and goes on all day long. Apparently someone else had that office before me and they left for the same reason!!! Ha! Anyway, if another location is available I'll move. If not, then I'll continue to sit next to flushing and the SQUEAK! at the end of each flush cycle. And the "hocking a loogie" noises I heard today. And the singing..and super loud nose blowing..and the walls rattling when the door shuts..

I wrote a letter to Kay's family today to include with a photo of Lucky, my little dog, whom she adored and helped care for when she was nearly roadkill. I will stick in on the back of the photo. I think it's a pretty nice little letter that explains the photo and I put in some kind words about her. I will leave this at the memorial service Friday. It's going to be SO hard to go but so important that I do.

In other news...

We got some SUPER cute new bowling bags in, this time with the bright magenta and black...I will have to take some photos of them this weekend. I have several new things to add to the giftshop so that will probably take place next week. I'm also awaiting the Dark Horse stationery stuff that should be in this month.

Also..has anyone else noticed a distinct rise in telemarkers recently? Something is going on..and now they are doing the same stuff that e-mail spammers do..they use fake phone numbers to disguise themselves..meaning, if you have caller ID, the phone number you see come up is not theirs, it is "stolen". And also they are recordings, so it's not even a person on the other line. And why..if I may ask..is it always carpet cleaning services they claim to offer..I mean..why that. And what is it they REALLY want...is it all a scam?


I once got a telemarketer really riled up and she started screaming at me. Yes, literally. See, they are instructed to keep you on the phone at all costs, and keep the conversation going. So as long as she pushed me, I pushed back, then ended up pissing her off and she went nuts. I set the phone down on the bed (I could still hear her screaming and ranting) and went to do some stuff in the other room. When I came back the line was dead!

Felt good. Pinheads. Go get a real job. I screw with all of them that call. You know how there's that moment right when you answer where you can hear the vast jabber of other telemarketers in the background? The boiler room. I once forced one person to keep talking about how they were sitting in a boiler room and how did it feel? What was it like? Did they enjoy it? And by gum they just keep talking, trying to steer you back to whatever crap they want to sell. And they get mad, which is awesome because who called who, moron. That's what I don't get, the anger when THEY interrupted MY day, and THEY get mad? Pffft! How do they know I wasn't having sex or something, and suddenly I'm listening to a sales pitch on carpet cleaning or getting a degree in contracting! Next time I'll tell them something like that..that I was right in the middle of taking a dump. I'd LOVE to hear what they say to that. In fact I'll report back here when I do.

How did I get onto this subject?


Oh well, that is all.
