Hi blog pals,
It's Saturday and I'm busy, telemarketing away, here.
Oh, it's gorgeous out there--one nice thing about my new desk, is that I can see outside, towards downtown..the bank, the traffic, new-green trees, the Episcopal (America's version of Anglican) church, the mountains along the Hudson River. A very nice day, indeed.
Got a note from the health centre in the post, yesterday. Told me my blood sugar was way up, and that I needed to come in for some new meds. Of course, I'm sitting here drinking coffee and eating a vanilla biscuit. 
Can't go to the doctor's until after the 3rd May, due to budget contraints. The bill I HAVE to pay before the end of the month, is bigger than my entire week's salary, so I can only pay it in installments--half my pay cheque this week, half my pay cheque next week--which leaves me nothing for the Doctor's, which typically costs 30 to 50 dollars per visit.
Telemarketing is interesting, sometimes. I had to speak to a "Mr. Farht," the other day--thankfully he wasn't in. I would have corpsed all over the place, if I had to say that in my "working voice," out loud.
We get these recordings, from the phone company?
Yeah, there's two different one's:
A very nice, apologetic, "We're sorry, the number you reached is no longer in service. Please check the number and try again." Translation: (I'm ever so sorry that I had to tell you you dialed wrong, please have a nice day.)
Then, there's this snooty lady's recording, "The number you have reached is NOT in service! THIS, is a recording." Translation: (How DARE you dial wrong! DON'T do it again! Hurrumph!)
I guess which recording you get all depends on what phone company you use.
