Phone Calls & Angry Birds

This week seems to be taking FOREVER!  Not sure why, I think I just want to be outside enjoying what we have for summer before the snow shows up (only 4 more months). 

It's been a painfully slow week full of RUDE people...so many rude people...So here's how my day goes:

Open the database, call a company, put on my sweetest (most fake) voice and basically beg them to let me come & give them a quote for cleaning.  Much of my day is spent explaining that yes, our company name IS Coverall, but NO WE DO NOT CLEAN COVERALLS!!!!!!!  This seems to cause much confusion...especially to what is usually a receptionist who is a few bricks short (I'm not saying all are like this, because definitely not all are...but a good majority......).

OK, so while I sit on hold, waiting for someone to talk to me, I play Angry Birds...ALL THE TIME....sit on hold, play Angry Birds, talk to the person, hang up, dial, sit on hold, play Angry Birds, talk to the person...I'm OBSESSED!  I have it on my iPod and my phone, so that at least when the iPod battery dies, I have my phone as backup...couldn't go a day without it...it's a problem, I know. 

Dave thinks my obsession is ridiculous, as he played only part of the first one, and then decided it's stupid...me...I've played all 3...three times...first time had 3 stars on every level then lost them when I restored my iPod..so did it again, and then AGAIN on my phone...and I never get tired of it...I think I need help!  The reason I bring this up ~ I was just outside, and a man that works in my building stopped me, said he had a question.  I stop & ask what's up.  He says "Angry Birds, I need you to help me"... HAHA EVERYONE KNOWS MY SECRET!!!!

Anyway...back to the phone calls....OMG!  Why do people have to be so mean????????  I will admit that I have a time or 3 hung up on solicitors when they call me at home...during my personal time in the evening...when I'm relaxing...but COME ON!  I'm calling you at work, do you really have anything better to do than listen to me for 10 seconds??????  I have made 62 calls today, and at least 10 of those people YELLED at me and told me to never call back!  I don't get it...I'm asking you if I can help make your work space happier...not calling to tell you your dog died...what the hell????  PLEASE...if I call your work, just nicely say 'no thank you', please please please don't yell at me...I'm just trying to earn a paycheck here people!

Sorry, I had to get that off my chest :) 

So much to do this weekend...retirement banquet tonight, party tomorrow night, working Saturday doing hair all day only to come home to what I imagine will be a gong show (Dave wants to have all his guys from work over for beers for being good boys), and my beautiful niece's baptism on Sunday.  Can't wait for that, love those kids soooooo much!  I only wish my other nieces & nephew were closer so I could see them all the time too...

I think that's all...OH...except...Today I am thankful that the asshole that shot the gigantic rock onto my windshield this morning (as he swerved all over the road while texting and driving) didn't swerve into the guy beside him and cause a big accident that would have DEFINITELY made me very late for work.  Thanks for small miracles...he needs to know...KARMA'S A B**CH!  :)
