Now I'm rude.

I'm starting to enjoy my job again because I'm now acting like an ass.
Since the people I talk to all day are complete low lifes, I'm going to be one, too.
(At least on the phone)
This woman called this morning, for one of those "sponsor a child" deals, and she was FREAKING out because "we" sent her a boy and DAMMIT SHE ASKED FOR A GIRL!
I first politely told her she would have to call the company directly, I don't handle issues like that.
Do you have pen and paper?, I asked. NO! I DON'T!, she yelled (seriously).
Okay, well, I need to give you the customer service number, I told her again.
LADY! YOU PEOPLE WANT TO GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND! I'M WAITING FOR THE NUMBER! WHAT IS IT?!
At this point, I laughed at her. Loud enough to be heard, not enough to be too rude. (My calls are recorded after all)
She got even more furious! I didn't think it was possible! So I laughed a little more.
But whatever, I told her the customer service number and hung up before she could sqawk at me anymore.
And two more gripes...
1. You aren't one of the first 500 callers. The callers aren't numbered or tracked. That's a lie, to get you to call!
2. Please listen to my entire question before answering. I realize I get paid by the minute, but having to repeat myself over and over because you are deaf/ignorant/busy really irks me.

In other news,
JD's birthday party was a hit, I guess. He ignored me the whole time and then was really drunk at the end of the night so I sent him home with his mom. Sigh.
We closed on the house yesterday and walked away with more money than we thought! Woohoo! So we promptly bought a Wii (which I played for 4 hours last night!) and started paying off bills.
My new goal is to lose weight playing the Wii. The Wii sports is crazy! Boxing, Bowling and Tennis really get you moving. Good cardio. We'll see how it goes.
I'm calling it my "Wiight Loss Program". Don't make me copyright it.

I'm going to post pics of the party and some silly rain shots I took later...
