Why do people
have their ID on their phone blocked these days? Do people really think that
the party they are trying to reach will answer their phone when someone on the
other end of the phone line is trying to be stealthy? It pisses me off and it is stupid and a
complete waste of time, my time and their time. I also hate it when someone
calls me and leaves me a message and tells me to call them back, not stating
what they want to discuss. So I make it common practice to never call them back
ever. If you need some info, then tell me what you need in your voicemail or
message. Don’t call me and then tell me to call you back because it just won’t
happen. You will have a very, very long wait on your hands. I have no patience
for stupid and inconsiderate people any longer.
Telemarketers
I had a roommate
that was in sales and we would get phone calls from telemarketers during
dinnertime. He would put them on speakerphone and then let them go through all
their scripted sales lines and then lead them on with nonstop questions. He
would signal to me to write up some stupid questions while he would do this and
then just act like he was just some simpleton with money. Sometimes he would
use a strange accent and just play these fools like they were a large mouth
bass on a fishing line. It was quality entertainment for a good twenty minutes
sometimes. He was very good at playing
their games and loved wasting their valuable time every chance that he could
get. Another friend used to give the phone to his 3-4 year old kid and let them
talk to them for a while. Fun with telemarketers is free quality entertainment!
Headwinds
I have noticed
during this time of the year I have headwinds all the way home on my bicycle
ride after work. How come I don’t have tailwinds on the ride into work? What’s
up with that? I have to ride north and west to get home. North is not bad but riding west can be tough
with those constant nasty onshore breezes, especially during this time of the
year. The good thing is that it is
basically all flat terrain for the ride in and going home except for a block or
so just before crossing Sepulveda Blvd., which isn’t bad at all. I did take my
bike in last Friday on my day off to have them repair a faulty cable, which was
no charge since they just worked on it recently. Now it rides nicely and
doesn’t change gears whenever it want to, which is nice. I like when things
work as they should! It makes the ride so much more enjoyable! J
