When I came home yesterday evening there was a message on my answering machine. Now, before I tell you what the message said, let me tell you what my outgoing message says (Yes, don't question me....it IS important!)...I even listened to it again to make sure it wasn't misleading:
Me:Hi! We can't come to the phone right now so leave a message and we'll call you back. Say Bye.
Z: Bye
Ok, short. Sweet. To the point. Right?
Ok, so some lady named Angela called and said she was from a Marketing Research Company in Richmond, VA. She went on to say: "We are conducting a short survey about the issues affecting people in Missouri in the upcoming election." (Here is where I question her intelligence.) "Could I please speak to the man of the house? Hello?"
What part of my outgoing message confused her into thinking she was speaking to a real person??? Geez......
I'm also a bit offended by the "man of the house" thing. Who says that anymore? Um, so let's see, I AM the man of the house I guess....because I pay the bills, I do the work, and its MY house!
So, there you have it! I'm the man!

We get calls for a bank. I have answered the phone by simply saying hello and I have had a couple people ask for the loan department. I have also had 2 people say, "Hello my account number is xxxxxxx can you tell me what my balance is?"
Thank you for stopping by today! While I know what you mean about getting used to throw up, I hope I never have to get to that point. That means I would have had to go through a whole. lot. of puke.
Here is the link to Kimba's page about the bird. It is the exact one, but I'll put up pics when mine is dry.
Oh, I forgot to answer you about the floatie swimsuit thingee. Don't bother--you'd do better with arm floaties and your son won't look like SpongeBob.
And, for some reason I am defending the telemarketer, but the automatic dialer thing probably got your machine and then she picked it up. But bless her little heart, she's stupid for being a telemarketer. I had a job one time where we had to call and ask voters who they were voting for b/c I worked for a lobbyist. I told them I didn't want to and they told me that I did not have a choice. Those (insert ugly word)!
I forgot to leave the link. Here it is:
