the phone rang this morning, 9:27 AM. long distance ring. the thought crosses my mind, it's probably my mom -- and then alaina answers it. "who was it for?" i ask her, to which she replies with in a comical voice, "for the person with the first initial 'j'".
what the crap is that?! we get solicitors calling for joyce ALL the bloody time, usually asking for "Mrs. Moase, please" -- if she's not here (and she never is, because her name is MISS moase), then the person occasionally will ask for Mr. Moase. "ummmm yeah, he doesn't exist...thanks, though, for rubbing that in," was randell's snappy response one afternoon. so now they don't even know her actual NAME? just the first INITIAL of it?! come. on. people.
pick up a copy of errata this week on WLU's campus, the women's center zine. it's got a hilarious story in it about the whole 'Mrs' business. i might post it later, if i have more time...it's really funny.
for now, i should get back to writing for marks, not for pleasure.
peace out

I think you can write for both. :)
Yeah, I always try to be nice to telemarketers but sometimes they are forced by their scripts to be so annoying.
soo true- them dang calls allll the time....
I have to laugh at my mom's two cents worth- while here her witty response to "well is mr. moase around?" was "No! but if you find the stupid bastard let him know I'm looking for him!"
bahahaha ohhh mom....
At least they call for someone who exists. We get calls for a "Christian Lordson" all the time. Sketchy. I think he must owe millions of dollars and have fabricated some sort of fake identity. (have I watched too many movies?) Christian Lordson- if you're reading this blog- know this- they're after you! watch your back. . .
