Phone: Happy Monday! *ring*
Me: You know...I can't even think of anything to say.
Phone: Well, after all, how many times can you curse me out for performing a function...the *only* function...for which I was specifically constructed? *ring*
Me: Yeah, I just...it's tiresome.
Phone: Try being me sometime. *ring*
Me: Believe me, as far as monotony in the workplace, you and I are the same.
Phone: We'll compare notes some other time, okay? *ring*
FuckCake O' the Day: Yeah, I'm calling about Other Fuckcake. I'm trying to verify his homeowner's insurance.
Me: What?
FCO'tD: His homeowner's insurance.
Me: We don't do that here.
FCO'tD: Well, he has homeowner's insurance, right?
Me: I have no idea.
FCO'tD: Can't you look it up?
Me: No. We don't do homeowner's insurance.
FCO'tD: Look, he gave me this number. You handle his insurance, right?
Me: We do benefit administration for his workplace, yes.
FCO'tD: His insurance.
Me: Yes, but not homeowner's insurance.
FCO'tD: Well, he gave me this number.
Me: Okay.
FCO'tD: Because you handle his insurance.
Me: We handle the benefits he gets through his work.
FCO'tD: Like homeowner's insurance.
Me: I don't know of any firm on the planet that offers homeowner's insurance as part of their benefit package. Dental, Vision, Health...yes. Homeowner's insurance? No.
FCO'tD: ... Good point.
Me: Thank you.
FCO'tD: *click*
Phone: Fucking moron *dial tone*
Me: Preach it.
You might even say Sean's got it going on.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I need to watch this show. Are there seasons available on DVD?
They've only done 1 season, but it is indeed available on DVD. You might even know someone with a copy they'd be willing to lend.
You might even know someone with a copy they'd be willing to lend.

I'll pop 'em in the mail this week. Are you still at the same address?
Video party @ SeanK's Place!!!! Wooot!!!!

WHY WON'T PEOPLE EMAIL ME BACK SO I CAN FINISH THIS PROJECT!?!
Although someone did respond to a personal email, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. One of my oldest and dearest friends returned an email asking him what's been happening and all that. We've both been way too busy to catch up.
One thing that he mentioned was that he was thinking of proposing to his girlfriend, but that people had said he shouldn't and he would like to get my thoughts.
Ok. Before I post this next part, I do want to say that he's never been anything but lovely and charming to just about everyone, and we've been friends since I was in 8th grade. And I want to say all this, because what happens next is kind of assy and out of nowhere.
So he sends me a picture of the girlfriend, and I ask if that's her, and if she's the one I last remember him talking about, and he responds back that it is her and people have been telling him not to propose because she's not cute.
I sent him a pretty reasonable response (I think) along the lines of it being hard to judge a person's appearance on an amateur photo, and that I'm not sure other people's opinions of what the woman he'd be spending the rest of his life with with matter as much as his.
Though I really, really wanted to add, "You shouldn't propose, but not because there's anything wrong with
her."
OK, saw this in a tagline in an e-mail. I liked it:
In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.- Ben Franklin
As an avid water drinker, I think it's hilarious! As a Ben Franklin fan, I doubt it was him, as bacteria was not really a word then, but I could be mistaken. I'm not a bio-historian.
