ateolflast night as i was trying to go to sleep, instead having my brain flooded with pointless crap (as tradition dictates), i figured out the mystery of that girl at work yesterday...early in the day Matt, who just started training there this week, doublejacked with me briefly...then a little into it he got up and was like "she's making me sit with her" and then went and sat with some girl sitting behind me across the aisle...at the time i wasn't paying attention to nuthin' cept for the call i was on and/or the book i was reading...so yeah, it was obviously the same girl, so it wasn't as random as it seemed at the time...she apparently knows Matt and she knows i know Matt and i guess that's why she talked to me...i just don't pay attention to stuff...then there was work today...it did that thing where it messed up and there was a good maybe hour plus where i wasn't getting calls and i just read and read and it was sweet...then i came home and finished off Trout Fishing in America by Richard Brautigan...then The Family Ghost practiced FOR THE SHOW TOMORROW!!! hopefully that should be fun...no one will be there, but it will be fun...the perfect birthday present is me playing a show...
oh shit, i almost forgot about the best thing about yesterday that i meant to post about but forgot yesterday! i had the best call ever (well, probably not, but one of 'em...) as often happens, people dial a wrong number, that wrong number ends up belonging to a deaf person...the deaf person sees it on their caller id and uses relay to call them back to find out who they are...every relay operator knows these well as they almost always are a complete mess...the person they call back doesn't know what relay is and for some reason they seem to be more hostile and defensive in this situation than with the average person who doesn't know what relay is...anyway, i'm calling some woman in New Orleans and she doesn't know what relay is and she's hostile and defensive...then she tries to hang up...but doesn't wait long enough before picking the phone back up...this happens a few times...she gets more hostile and defensive and what ensued was one of the best things ever!!! she started saying "you small, unclean devil! in the name of jesus [blah blah something about making me get out of her phone] [followed by some jibberjabber in some other languge i think...probably voodooese...]" and she repeated it a time or two...so either i got some voodoo curse on me or she's just completely insane and really thought there was a devil inside the phone itself and was exorcising it...i had to mute it 'cuz i was laughing so hard...(it's pretty rare that anything makes me laugh in my job..."prank" calls almost run like a script, but REAL insanity, you can't make that stuff up!)
