I don’t even know why I bother having telephone at my apartment. Real people email me or call me on my cell phone.
"..You have nine new messages and six old messages..."
#1 Sara from Debt Solutions, called to let me know that I am pre-approved for debt consolidation, and that I should call her back with my statements ready to discuss.
(Umm...I don’t have any debt.)
#2 The Sierra Club. They are so smart they started talking way before my machine picked up, so I missed the beginning. All I understood was that I should contact the Bush administration and urge them to "stop their assault on the environment."
(Huh? Is GW starting fist fights with buffalo?)
#3 "Paul Smith from Big Sky, a local satellite company." He told me he’s been in my neighborhood installing systems, and that one of my neighbors had recommended me.
(Umm...I don’t have a television. What neighbors? True, I live on a highly populated block, but nobody knows my name or my telephone number– well except for the pizza shop across the street.)
#4 Beth from Pioneer Movers. Called to discuss the estimate I requested.
(I did email a moving company and received an estimate, but this company is not the one I called. However, this is the only message from a live person I received.)
#5 The Sierra Club called again.
(Are you kidding me?)
#6 Sara Tate from Express Consolidation, called to let me know that I am pre-approved for debt consolidation and that I should call her back with my statements ready to discuss.
(Haven’t we already been through this? Are you sure you're not the same Sara from Debt Solutions?)
#7 "CONGRATULATIONS! You have won a 22 gig computer and a digital camera and a new cell phone and... you must have a ( -inaudible- ) savings account to qualify!
(Lucky me!...I still don’t have a savings account.)
#8 Your order is ready and will be until August 5th. Thanks for choosing Rite Aid.
(What order? I have no idea what you’re talking about.)
#9 Paul Church from Satellite TV promotions.
(I think I’ve been through this too. Is this Paul Smith?)
I know what you’re all thinking right now: "everybody hates telemarketers" and "frreeeak!"
