these tarts of pop

Me: "Good afternoon, [name of company here]."

Caller: "My name is Thus And So -- I'm returning a call from someone at that number."

Me: "Okay, do you know who tried to reach you? I'm at the front desk, and have no way of knowing who may have called."

Caller: "No, but I know that it came from this number."

Me: "..."

Caller: "You know, I see I have a voicemail from that number. Maybe they left a message...I'll listen to that and then call you back."

Me: "Alright. Have a good day." :fumes:

This is happened to me several times over the last two weeks. Does it not occur to people to check their voicemail messages BEFORE returning a call? WTH.

So I was doing some work-related research, and had to get an address for this company.

And now I am just having way too much fun with their website.

We had my state-side baby shower this past Saturday. Much fun was had by me. I hope the guests enjoyed themselves. We got even more stuff, which I didn't think was possible. We now have the crib and dresser, so he'll have a place to sleep and we can put his clothes away. Yay! He also got a car seat (which is how I spell relief, by the way. C-A-R-S-E-A-T. 'Cuz. The hospital won't let you take the baby home without one.), 3-stage feeding chair, a toddler stroller (so now we have two, one when he's wee little, and one for when he's a toddler), a Diaper Genie, the famous Boppy pillow, a fancy-schmancy microwave steam sterilizer (So high-tech. I remember sterilizing bottles by putting them in boiling water.)

Apparently, the gifts aren't quite finished yet...both The Mighty O's Moms and my aunt still have something they want to give us that we don't have yet.

Oh my goodness. And crwilley made a blanket for Ky. It's absolutely beautiful. I am in awe of her powers of knitting/crocheting. I have it set to go in the baby wash, because he's coming home in his blankie.

Thank you so much, mightyafrodite, for putting it all together. I'd be lost without you, Sis. Thank you for being there for me thru everything. I only hope I can return the favor someday. Much love.

Get well wishes to frappjunkie and single_path. I hope the both of you are starting to feel better.

Sunday. That morning fmh, gamerngeek and dadandgirl took all three girls to the movies (part of the celebration of the girl-half's birthday. She's not supposed to be eight.) I was really achey and tired, so I stayed at home with the intention of coming to the CareBear's party later that afternoon. It was not to be. The fellas took the kids straight to the party after their outing, and I didn't have a way to get there...which was really all academic, since I couldn't stay awake anyway. I mean it. I slept ALL DAMNED DAY.

So ready to have this baby.

This is my last week at work. Much cleaning up and packing as the week rolls along. I meet the temp tomorrow and I guess we'll just sit and kind of go thru the basics of my job here. In theory, not a difficult task, but I don't know how good of a teacher I am, so...we'll see how that goes.
