Telemarketers, questions and exhaustion, oh my.

I’ve had three phone calls from the same telemarketing company. This was the most amusing:

~~~~

The phone rings, I answer and say hello.

Hello ma’am! My names josh from international design and guess what?! We’ve designed you a website for your business! that’s right! we’d like to put it for FREE on the Internet for 15 days, and then for just 30 bucks a month after that you can use our services!”

Wow! that’s great… so do you know what my business is?

“Well, no ma’am, I didn’t do the designing, but it’s for Lessa’s Design”

Well yessir, that’s my business. Now, tell me, do you know what I do? Because after all, if you’re making me a web page, you really should know about my business so that it fits me and my style..

“Well… no, ma’am, I’m not rightly…”

Well take a gander from the name, hm?

“Well I’d be willing to bet you design stu….aw hell. You design webpages, don’t you?”

Bingo! ANd for much cheaper then you’re suggesting to do mine AND with the personal tuoch of KNOWING MY CLIENT before designing! Now this is the second call I’ve received from you people, how about quit harrassing me and try hiring me? I’m sure mine are better.

“*Sheepish* Yes ma’am. I’ll just make a note next to your name.”

Why thank you! have a great day! *click*

~~~~~~~~~~~

Now the first call went similarly, other then a more amusing factor of the girl actually saying at the end. “aw fuck, OH! whoops! I’m so sorry ma’am, but you design webpages don’t you…” and upon my saying yes, she hung up.

The third call, was more annoying because the guy wouldn’t give up. “Well that’s great, but how about you check out the competition and see what we can do” now why on EARTH would I put MY design business up as designed by someone else? I’m all for trying to get your sale, but don’t be a dumbass, man. Seriously. I knew he was a dumbass when I was laughing and said “So what do YOU think i do, just by the name of the business.” and he said “uh. design…. women’s dresses?” All hopeful like. Doh. bleedin idiots. Now supposedly all THREE of these guys have put me on the ‘do not call’ list so that I will quit laughing at them.

Snorts. We shall see.

~~~~~~~~~~~

So things are… ok. I find I’m very exhausted at the moment, mentally and physically. I’m getting completely burnt out on school – which isn’t necessarily good with only 2 quarters left to go. I’ve got one prof right now giving me straight A’s, and another giving me a B-. the hell? i missed ONE assignment week one, and I’m getting a B-? bastard. But whatever, I’ll see if I can’t set aside some time this week to do an extra credit paper.

asshole comes home today. oh joy. There goes my piece and quiet, and not only that but hey, it’s Spring Break for the kids too. Bloody wonderful. FInals, Asshole, Kids, PMS.

Can we GUESS Lessa’s mood? Yeah. heh.

~~~~~~~~~~~

So apparently I’m still the wicked witch of the east to most people I play with. Big fucking deal. They don’t know me and I owe them nothing. Just the other night I grab one of the players who is in my Garou’s pack, and say “Hey, we’re having some fun, an old fashioned throwdown, I need H. in the pub!” and I grab the other pack member too and alls good as far as I know. Now being a challenge over territory, it took some time to finish up the scene, being combat and dice and all manner of stuff like that. We decide on a way to finish it, and the guy I’d asked to come in (five hours after it started) says “yeah, I was on my way offline. Let’s just finish it.”

Stupid fuck – if you don’t have time for a scene say NO! it’s not that hard. two little letters. No. See? easy. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

But that’s not what pissed me off. After he leaves to go spend time with his bitch, she comes online and goes OFF on me for making it seem like a life or death situation and making her mate play a scene when he was supposed to spend time with her! (whine. whine. whine.) So I went OFF on her. she’s all “I’m his RL fiancee!” I just said “I don’t care. This shits between you and him, or him and me, you don’t know me and the first words out of your mouth to me is this shit? fuck off.”

somewhat nicer, though I was LIVID.

Then I copied the convo to both admins. *Smirk*

Her man came on yesterday and I told him to hold his bitch in check, and described to him how easy it is to say no to me. Hell, most people have NO problem doing so. He said yeah, fine. It was his mistake. Apparently she continued to scream at him all night and day. He comes back a couple hours later and was all “I can’t be in this position, can we three meet in a room and clear the aire” fine whatever. So she starts with an apology, which was well and good then went into how wrong it was for me to say it was life or death.

I log everything.

So I copied and pasted the EXACT statement I’d made to him about the scene and had him verify it was exactly waht I’d said. Shoved it right down the bitches throat I did. (calmly and nicely of course. it is after all the only way) So she backpeddled and then continued to try and make me the bad guy. I was having none of it. He steps in and defends her says she’s trying to explain is all. Told him no explination was needed – she’d apologized, and since he realizes that if it’s a life or death situation for my char I will SAY so…*rolls eyes* I said I had dinner to eat and left.

Smirk.

Stupid bitch. Try and drag me between you and your man and make me the bad guy? No fucking way. Ain’t gonna happen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So uh. Yeah. Heh.

On top of all that – We’re going to have to postpone our family vacation. I have to break that to the asshole tonight. His dental work he just had done? Not fucking covered apparently. That’s 2000. Aflack will reimburse over half of it….. after we’ve been on the plan a year. So. Looks like disneyland in November, not May.

The asshole will be pissed.

The kids will be upset.

I will be the wicked bitch of the east again. Oh fucking well. Seems a recurrent theme.

Blah.

And I’ve got cramps. Someone shoot me.

Yes, I’m ending this bitch fest now. Go reread the telemarker bit. That shits funny. *chuckles*
