    Ooh, maybe I'll try that one next time.

    Okay, so next time (which will be later this week or next week at the latest), I'll either tell him I don't have a computer, or start talking in German. Maybe I should record it. :)

    I love playing pranks on these people. Fortunately, though, here in the US we have a Do Not Call registry that we can sign up for, so I don't get those calls.

    Please and use German to tell him you have a C-64 that you bought in 1984. ;)

    We have a do not call registry too, but you have to have the phone number in order to stop the calls, and these guys always block their calls. :(

    But it is fun to toy with them. That idiot had no idea that a woman was going to squish him like a bug when he called. Made me feel pretty darn good. :)

    I can't wait to talk to him again. Round two coming up Habish. I hope you're ready! ;)

    LOL! Considering the fact that it actually took quite a while before he understood that my owning a Mac (which I don't) means that I don't use windows (and he's supposedly a computer tech!), I have a feeling that the C-64 comment would go right over his wee head. So would the German. ;)

    I'm sorry you didn't get it. Just means there's something better for you out there.

    How is everyone this morning? Doing okay here. BP is soaring through the roof, can't take this headache much longer.

    Hey! Been there, and it feels like crap, however, they know your interested, if you really want it keep applying, same thing happened to me last year, I was gutted, but I worked harder, I got noticed by another organisation and got head hunted, now I work for them, and I love it, if I had got the promotion I would have never come onto the other organisations radar.

    Pamper yourself later, I brought a cake when it happened to me and ate it while watching the biggest loser, ahhh, happy days.

    I'm trying to. Being as lazy as possible so that the meds kick in. Not doing anything that would increase my pressures.

    I work for the local sewer district, except I handle flood protection. We are in a valley and right next to a river, so flooding is common. I handle scheduling and customer service, invoicing and budget. Not a dog gone thing to do with my degree in design. Lol

    Looks like the dog forum has a new "expert" (sarcasm). Can't wait to see how this plays out.

    Oh Yeah, we are gearing for it. March/April/may are always busy. Yeah I worked as a graphic designer for the paper here, but they started having trouble and I left. There isn't much design work in this city, unless you can work 14 hours a day, and that's just not conducive to being a mommy. :)
