Alanis Benedict Morrison Yeah, I bought the wrong part, so we're still waiting on getting the car fixed. Fortunately, I've been getting rides with Shawn from lawn care, so I've been cared for. I'm going to miss her a lot though once I get the car back as she's a great carpool buddy. I need to be able to go somewhere for lunch though. Sitting around the office with ringing phones just doesn't do it for me. I'm cheesed enough that I wasted an entire week of the $40 a month tanning plan. Not being able to run home to pick up my bills just makes it worse. I need my car back, badly, so I can run some midday errands. Hopefully, the parts we need will be here today and actually be what Dan's looking for. I did catch the first quarter or so of game one yesterday before passing out. It was pretty good except the warm up acts. I have NO idea what San Antonio was thinking, but they put the two worst acts together in the front end of the game. Glad I wasn't there. I might have wanted to run away screaming. Alanis Morisette--Normally, I like Alanis, but they presented her by saying she just passed her citizenship test to become American. I couldn't believe it! AMERICAN? ALANIS? Is this Bizzaro World? WTF, Alanis?? I always had the greatest respect for you as an outspoken Canadian feminist, but now you're changing camps to get a bigger audience? That just doesn't make sense. Why would you say "Hey, no health care, no ability to smoke pot, and screwed up conservative christians, sign me up!"? I DON'T GET IT. Anybody with any brains these days wants to be a Canadian citizen, not an American one. So, Alanis, you're more fucked up than I can tolerate. Maybe you wanted lower taxes, I don't know, but I can't see the reason for changing sides this late in the game, except for more publicity. Oh, and please, PLEASE don't ever wear that 70s hooker makeup job again. That eyeshadow was just plain scary. Will Smith--Okay, were we trying to play to the black audience? Funny how that wouldn't work as Will Smith really can't rap worth a damn. I think he's set rap back about ten years with his cheesiness. So, really, Will Smith would be for the white folks who think he's got talent, which he doesn't as the song "Switch" indicated. Could anyone understand what he was saying? Was it something sexual? The dancers were hot, but I wasn't sure if there was a point to them or not (beyond the obvious booty shaking point). The guys dribbling the gold basketballs...well, I don't know where he got that idea but they just looked dumb, though I was somewhat curious as to where they found big black guys that would be willing to do dance. Maybe they didn't call it dance so it was cool, but they sure were in step with each other like the girly dancers. Funny how brothers can make such silly stuff look hip. Work is going all right though. I did outbounds yesterday, which sucked, but out of 154 calls I managed 9 sales. I thought my boss was just stroking me when he told me that was good, but Shawn confirmed it when we were riding home. According to her, doing phone sales and cold calls is rather hard, so even seeing nine sales by the end of the day is pretty good considering I'm only one person. Besides, I think several other people called me back later in the day, adding to a final total of 16 sales for the day. Not too bad considering I wasn't answering the incoming calls. Anyway, hoping to get out and have some fun tonight. Don't know where, but they're not making me work unless I want to Saturday, which is good as I don't want to. (Its hard to want to work when its so nice and sunny out:D) Dan is going to moving stuff over to Mike's garage so I'll probably be spending the day sweating and putting together a sales packet for my column. If I'm lucky, I'll have it together by the end of the week. Oh, does anyone know of a good diet book? I've been debating trying one of those. I'm trying to count my calories today, but I know I'm missing stuff like coffee in that analysis. Sucks though what I've already added up makes 750 calories. Too much for just a bagel, cream cheese, and two granola bars. I got to rethink that I guess. Arrrghh my fat belly that keeps me from wearing my cute clothes from last summer. Daphne |
