Haha, not 30 just yet. I don't chose to listen to him, he is on the radio at work all the time.


ah I see, I thought I remembered that you said something about you having kids...

Yeah well if that's what they play where you work, that is a lot better than what they play at the place where I work. I spend most of the time listening to "our house...in the middle of the street, our house lalal" and the like. It's bad when we are not busy in the summer, but once the winter comes around you're usually dealing with customers so you kind of forget about it.

every now and then I get in these moods where its like everything is boring, I'm sick of everything I like to do and everyone I know and I just want to have a complete blank slate on everything. Todayis one of those days. hopefully it is just because it is gray and rainy.

I woke up, guts churning, and still feel crappy. I was glued to the toilet for a good 30 minutes.

I used to work in a cold centre as I call them but luckily enough I was only dealing with incoming calls..

My company did try cold calls once and did stop immediately ...

I 'm always polite to them ..Firm but polite because they're just feeding their families like most of us..

I'm even polite to the Indian call centre even if i don't understand a word they're actually saying..

I underestimated just who I was dealing with. She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum...

The older I get the more I realize my daily quality of life becomes more and more dependent on two things:
1) How did I sleep last night?
2) How is my digestion today?
Life continues to become more focused as I age. :(


??? You're not that much older than I, Piob. Is this a recent thing?

That aside, I will guess that your diet is a good deal richer than mine, so that could contribute to matters. You're still on the no-carb business?

How is your life so f-ed up that you haven't signed up to one of those do not call lists? I've signed myself and most family members and haven't received cold calls in years.

I get far more veggies and roughage that the average Norte Americano. With the sleep thing, old men need their zzz's to do a long day without dragging, and with the belly thing, you just learn to appreciate when the body is working properly when you get older because it's not as easy to shrug things off as when you were a kid.

While this may be true, given the pix and posts of your lavish outings I look forward to your upcoming "The Doctor Diagnosed Me with Gout" thread. ;)

In other news, my right sinus has been stuffed shut for about five weeks. Doc just called in a script for antibiotics in the thought that it is a sinus infection. Let's hope that it is.

i do that eventually, but first since they are being a pain ********** to me i try and return the favor. i most enjoy taking over the conversation and trying to sell them something.

we did sign up, but every now and again we get a call anyways. :confused:
