Well, 'bout the only interesting thing that happened to me today, is that I actually called some guy in Tennessee, named "Bart Crouch." No, he didn't live in Askaban, TN, he-he.
Swtiched to a new campain at work...no more re-selling memberships to people who canceled them because they hated the club's guts. Now I'm just selling straight upgrades. Still hard, but not as hard as trying to convince someone who's being harassed by a collection agency, that they really should re-join the club--who's doing the harrassing.
I'm sick. Hoping I won't have to stay home from work--very sick and getting sicker since last night. Started with feeling run-down (chalked it up to stress and lack of sleep, but was wrong, I guess) and also a sore throat. This morning I had stomach problems, this afternoon I developed a headache, now the back of my neck feels all weird, I've got chills and a fever....damn. Could the timing be any possibly worse? Well...not surprised. When I lost my home (whopping big caravan) last spring, I was forced to move on a snowy day with full-blown pneumonia. Why should this time be any different, ey?
Still up in the air regarding housing, playing 'phone tag with a potential landlord. In case anyone's interested.
Nannyogg...thanks for the comment...glad your craft fair went well..they are fun, aren't they? I used love helping out at the Presbyterian church. I think the minister's wife must of seen me for a sucker--roast beef dinners, sunday school, choir (and I really can't sing or read music), the christmas musical (ditto), caroling for shut ins (ditto again), recycling drives, food pantry, Christmas bazzar...you name it, I let myself be talked into it--once even to my regret, as I found out I was alergic to theatrical makeup the hard way. But church fuctions can be quite fun--as long as you avoid the stuffed shirts...you know, the pompous person who think working at church automatically nominates him or her for sainthood. But, gladly, most members of my church were really great people, who, like me, gave their time...just because. Which I think is the best reason, yes?
Speaking of pompous chruch people. I got this southern preacher on the phone--he was a suscriber to an American Civil War history club. I asked him about upgrading his membership...told him his name would appear on the club's honor roll of members...triggered a long tirade on how the only place he wants to see his name is in the "Book of the Lamb." (I thought...you want to be listed in a butcher's account book?) Oh, he went on and on..and on and on...(God, I feel sorry for his flock on Sundays!) about how hard he worked bringing the gospel to the masses...etc. etc. I mean...I'm of the "shut up about what you're (and what you thing everyone else is) going to do, and just do what needs to be done." I hate get in your face religion. With a passion. I like a good sermon as much as the next person...but for pity's sake, don't throw your religion in my face and expect me to genuflect or fawn over your piety. Man, I was ready to get out my harp and start playin' for this guy. He definately thinks he's in line for sainthood...or whatever Holy Rollers believe in.
I also found out today, just what is wrong with America--we're complete morons!
No, really. The NRA (Natl. Rifle Assocation) is a huge power in Washington politics. Huge. Well, got this guy on the 'phone, who swore to me that the NRA says that the reason this country can't win the war against "all the muslims" (didn't know we were fighting ALL Musims...thought we were fighting Iraqi's and terrorists--hmmm.) Anyhow...this guy says that the "liberals" (people like me) are "prettying" up everything...from making Abe Lincoln look handsomer on paper money, to making the Muslims look like nice people. Okay...so, we're losing the war because the enemy is too pretty? Alrighty then....yes. That has taken the top spot as to the strangest conversation I've ever had since starting this job.
By the way, I was not only against this war--long before it was a war..but I was against the Gulf War, as well. And if you don't like my politics...hey. Don't read the blog, yeah? Okay, I have to do the "liberal democrat victory dance" WE WON WE WON WE WON...HA-HA! TAKE THAT YOU CONSERVATIVES...WE SWEPT YOU AWAY!!! 30 YEARS OF NY REPOUBLICAN RULE GONE!!! YIPPEEE!!! UP WITH THE PEOPLE!!! LONG LIVE LIBERALS EVERYWHERE!!! Mean old stupid repbulicans... 
Well, not feeling so hot...dont' even feel like dinner...and lunch was 9 hours ago. I should be starving...but could care less about eating...I'm definately sick. Off to bed then, with me.
