pluralstrange days
nothing particularly
good or bad just strange
I got my phone bill today
apparently instead of charging
my international calls at nine cents a minute
as I had agreed
they charged them at 1.84 a minute
and considering I spent
five hours on the phone
to england during that billing cycle
you can imagine the shock
I received upon opening the bill
after the requisite
forty five minute hold time
waiting to speak to a representative
during which
I became increasingly confident
about how much they value my call
after all they made a point of interrupting
the insipid elevator music every eleven seconds
to tell me so
in that most vapid sing song voice
and if they go through the trouble
to do all that
surely they must
but it was resolved in the end
and my phone bill was reduced
something by around four hundred dollars
which I suppose is worth an hour of my time
[barely]
It looks tomorrow will have another
prospective roommate coming to look at my place
this would be the third to do so
and it appears that my apartment
only appeals to females
should they be named
Eva
which is most peculiar and amusing
for an entirely different reason
I also received an email
from a woman I dated in Brazil
[yes yes that woman]
[you all know and love]
entirely in portuguese
which if you recall
my proficiency is only slightly below
the
"danger to self and others"
level of competency
the best I can tell
it is a joke
something along the lines of
male female communications
you know the ones
what a woman means when she says....
what a man means when he says...
I suppose it had its intended effect
even if for dramatically different reason
because it did in fact amuse me
in other news
am I the only one
who finds pop up ads
advertising loudly
"want to stop pop up ads"
the height of amusement
and lastly
a wire transfer which I had request
is lost in never never land
it will be found of course
it is just a matter of when
good thing I can always resort
to pimping my ass in the street
if the money gets tight
*evil grin*
