My office phone rings.
Me: Hello, this is Jennifer.
Stranger on the other end: Hi Jennifer, who do I speak to about your Sprint phones there?
Me: (instantly suspicious) What about them?
Stranger: About the sprint phones you have there. (Note: most of our company cell phones are with Sprint/Nextel.)
Me: What about the phones?
Stranger: I spoke to one of the guys down there. About your phones. Who would that have been?
Me: (Now getting extremely pissed. I am in fact the person you would speak to about our cell phone plan/phones in general but this asshole is obviously trying to get around me to whoever he thinks he can con into something.) Who did you talk to?
Stranger: Yeah, can you just transfer me to him?
Me: (What the fuck???) Who is this calling? (Now not hiding my annoyance.)
Stranger: I guess I got the wrong number then. Sorry.
Me: FUCK YOU (before I fully hung up)
What the hell?
- If that was an attempt at a scammy sales call, you should be fired, it's the worst one I've ever received.
- Why were you calling me in the first place if you thought the person to talk to was "a guy"? Because I'm not sitting at reception, you actually dialed my extension, fucker. And my name is JENNIFER so if you wanted a guy, you could have chosen from the extensive list of them at this company.
- Fuck you and the horse you rode in on and all your descendants for the rest of the history of time.
Important notices
Notice my new header photo! I will try to put a note here anytime I change it. This is from my trip to Italy last September. We had a lovely day at the Avignonesi Vineyards and Winery in Tuscany.
Questions about my new weblog platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm totally hilarious and mostly all I ever do is get too upset about everything, which is typically entertaining for everyone else.
What's going on right now
We're still working on getting settled at our new condo in East Boston. The living room paint color took four tries and we had to paint the final color twice because we screwed up the wall after the first time trying to put a shelf up. We recently discovered our kitchen sink isn't properly sealed to the counter and leaks. The garbage disposal was also leaking and getting worse. Then it fell off recently and I reattached it, after which the leaks from the disposal stopped. Good thing we're not too scared to do some home repairs ourselves. Someday I hope to decide the place is settled enough to have a long overdue housewarming party.

In Memory of Emily the kitty
Greatest kitty in the world! 1992-2010.
Many of you probably have heard Emily stories. She was a sweet and funny cat who seemed to get more personality every year. Imagine how much she had by the time she was 17 and a half years old!
