Wednesday, 21 April 2010 03:29 pmOkay, I am just never answering the house phone again until we get a new one with working caller ID, because I am not fielding my aunt's calls. Especially not ones from collections. I mean, the lady never said she was from collections, but, "Is she there? Who am I speaking to? Is she actually just there and telling you to say she's not? ...how old are you?" strike me the kinds of questions collections people ask, and after a five-second google search I can safely say that the company is, in fact, a collections agency.
Protip: Just because you live in a house doesn't mean you have to give out the house number for everything that needs a phone number, especially if you never answer the goddamn phone. Christ.
And then, how much am I actually supposed to tell mum? Admittedly I could just say, "Mum, I'm really sick of all the telemarketers, can you please buy a new phone?" (To which the answer will undoubtedly be that we don't have the money for that, because... we don't. /eyeroll Sure would be nice if we did, though.)
Still, I guess it could be worse. I could be getting collections calls about people who don't even live in this house. That sure would suck. And to think I only answered the phone because I thought it might have been mum or dad. Well, that'll teach me to do that.
At any rate, mum should be home soon; after that we have to go grocery shopping for dad. :? I told him about my decision re: the Japan trip, and today he doesn't seem to be in too bad of a mood, so... Ugh, and of course I misplaced my seal key. (Well, I have to remake it anyway, the key bit broke off on my way to school Monday and I couldn't find it. owo) I'll just spend a little bit looking for it, I think. First I'll connect my Pokéwalker to my game, though... I haven't done that for three days, and it, uh, shows. (1005 watts! ...uh, I think I should be burning more calories from walking than that in three days... oops.)
