rdfreakLol! I just emptied my recycle bin and got the fright of my life when I heard a party whistle, Lol!
then i realized that stupid me assigned a particular sound to that task the other day of me blowing a party whistle for an O/S friend on new years Eve 2000. Lol um, why?! Because I had nothing better to use, Lol!
I use to have what's-her-name saying "you have been deleted from the system, You are the weakest link; goodbye" :) and that was kinda amuzing Lol!
Gee I'm mad!
And well this mornings phone call can totally prove it even more. Um, well it started about 11 when I was just about to grab me daily rattlies for the day. (um, my new word for tablets; don't ask :) anyway I'd slept in so was kinda overdue. anyway the phone rang (I was actually off the net, surprise, surprise! :) Lol!
I am not sure who it was. For the purposes of scripting in this entry, let's just call her ... "Miss-info-junky"!!
R (answers phone) Hello??
Miss-Info-junkie: Hi, this is "miss-Info-Junkie" from (such&such fitness centre - didn't catch the name). We are calling random people in your area, and the one to answer the phone automatically wins a two week membership to the centre. ... So, congratulations! ... Are you excited about that?
R (pause) Um .... yes ... yes, I am ... um ... yeah very happy about that, thanks.
Mis-Info-Junky: (laughs) Well I now need to get some details off you!
R: Um, yeah, that's OK.
Miss-Info_Junky: Your first name?
R: Rachel.
Miss_Info_junky: And your last?
R: Keyte
Miss_info_junky: How would you spell that, Rachel?
R: K ... E ... Y T E
Miss_Info_Junky: madly typing away!
Miss_info_junky: And do you have a mobile?
R: yes.
Miss_info_junky: what is it please?
R: tells her.
Miss_info_junky: So are you free to come Monday?
R: Um, yes, I think so, yes.
Miss_Info_junky: Morning or afternoon?
R: Um, afternoon I think, yeah.
Miss_info_junky: would early, or late afternoon suit you?
R: Um, maybe early.
Miss_Info_Junky: Well I can slot you in about 12.30, is that OK.
R: Um, yes, should be fine!
Miss_info_junky: OK thanks for that. do you have a pen and paper handy? i need to give you information to come on Monday.
R: Well, um, I am actually vision impaired. (looking now for braille note. Where the hell did I put it???)
R: Where abouts did you say you were again?
Miss_info_junky: In Nunawadding.
Miss_info_junky: Oh, will that be a problem? would you need to come by taxi perhaps?
R: Um, yeah, maybe ... um I mean no. .. I mean, can I pass on this whole thing?
Miss_info_junky: yes sure.
R: i'm so sorry about that.
Miss_info_junky: No that's fine! Bye!
R: bye!
Click!!
So what's it with me sobbing "I'm vision impaired; what you gunna do about it?" I am not usually that stupid and vague!
OK so all that could have been avoided, saving her and I time and voice, but no. I still can't say "no" so there I was trying to be nice and accept this wonderful random-kindness-award, and all the while thinking, "Oh Mum is going to kill me when i ask her to give me a lift to the place. She is going to ask me what part of "no" I can't prenounce!
I mean it was just the other day when Mum and I were reminicing on the fact that when I lived there I use to recieve phone calls to my private line of this nature, and because i just couldn't say no! My Mum would quite often open the door to people asking for the generous clothes donation we had promised to make to the dibeties foundation, and various raffle tickets being sent on a regular basis so we can sell them.
And I just heard from dad this morning that they still get sent christmas cards every year so we can sell them!
Ah, when will I learn???!!!
