And rave. And stomp my feet.
FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES, PEOPLE, IF YOU MUST CALL ME TO HAWK SOME PRODUCT OR SERVICE OR ASK ME SOME ENDLESS LIST OF QUESTIONS I MUST STONGLY, SOMEWHAT, OR MILDLY AGREE OR DISAGREE ABOUT, AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO GREET ME WITH A HUMAN AND NOT SOME SHTINKIN' MACHINE WITH A SUGARY SWEET RECORDED VOICE TELLING ME HOW LUCKY I AM TO HAVE BEEN RANDOMLY SELECTED FROM RESIDENTS OF MY NEIGHBOURHOOD TO RECEIVE BLAH BLAH BLAH AND WHEN I HANG UP ON YOU, DEMON MACHINE, DON'T CALL ME BACK!!! AAAARRRRGGGGG!!!!!
Thus ends my rant. And my horribly long run-on sentence.
PS... Go check out my new renter! I haven't had one in a while. Look right... see that lovely button with sunflowers on it? That's My So Called Ramblings. She's a fun read, go check her out!

I worked at Kawkawa summers 1999 -2000, the first years of the HIS Team Program - I was the His team leader and I lived in the little camper in the woods behind the dining hall. My camp name was Shenzi. Those summers were really good for me to realize that I had a gift for teaching the Bible, and also for working with youth. I decided to come to Briercrest Bible College - and I've been in Caronport ever since! :) I met my husband here and graduated two years ago with a BA Christian min. I work for food services - read, the cafeteria - as a manager, and use my leadership and admin. gifts there.
I was kind of hoping some of the people I knew from Kawkawa would show up on your site - so that's why it's linked to my blog.
Yeah - and don't call while my kids are sleeping! that crap drives me nuts!
We have a 'Telephone Preference Service' in the UK. It sounds like a don't call list, but with a more pretentious name. It's illegal to cold-call anyone whose number is on the list.
It's not illegal to call people from a call centre outside the UK though :(
We also have something similar for junk mail, which would explain why half my mail comes from France now.
you deleted my favorite post!
you brat!
I agree with Erin - the "don't call list" was the best piece of legislature to ever cross the Pres's desk.
If I HAVE to get a sales call, I prefer an automated one - so much easier to hang up on instently.
I don't answer the phone anymore - to anyone. I just grew tired of 95% of the callers wanting something from me. Soon I shall have Call Display and then I'll only answer to select callers. Try calling me after mid-March and we'll see if I answer your calls. :-)
