NO, you may not!!!

Hahaha....Wow if I had known it was that easy I would have been doing this a long time ago. It's going to be my new catch phrase though. I dont know why I answer the phone when the tele-marketers call. Sometimes I like to fuck with them, make them jump through all kinds of hoops and ask for ridiculous disounts or freebies only to tell them, Nah, I dont think I can do that today. Other times (especially with the mortgage folks) I quote them the ridiculously low rate I already have which completely lets the winds out of their sails or tell them I never want another credit card in my life which does about the same for those idiots. Today though when I picked up the phone I got "um um...cough cough...oh Yes...May I speak to Mr. Steven Harris please?". Well the 1-888 number was a tip off from the start but since none of my friends have ever called me Mr. and any of the companies that I would deal with would show their numbers I knew from the jump it was a tele-marketer. I could also say since the call came on a sunday morning (what businesses do you know that are open on a sunday morning?), it was pretty obvious. So there I was, and the lady starts "May I speak to Mr. Steven Harris please?" I just calmly said, "No, you may not!!!". End of phone call...lol..I guess she didn't know what to say to that.

And while I'm in such a good mood I guess I should also thank my neighbor Jeff. I dont know Jeff and I dont know which neighbor he is but seeing as BellSouth fucking sucks right now, he's my link to the internet. See I secure my wireless connection at the house cause though it takes some setup to access another computer over a wireless network connection, I'd still rather not have to worry about someone trying to do so. I have no interest in what's on his computers and haven't ventured to see if they're open too but I do appreciate that apparently his DSL or Cable connection is much better than mine which goes out all the time and stays out for minutes to hours at a time. I've called the useless idiots at BellSouth (who are probably more likely at IndiaSouth) and they all want to say it's my router. Umm..when I plug your stupid cable into the back of my computer and the network link light doesn't even come on, I think thats a pretty good indication that their aint shit coming out of the wall jack.(I have a FibreChannel so no modem needed, just plug right into the wall network jack). But alas these fools will have me delete and recreate connections repeatedly till it comes back on which is more just a coincidence of timing than any real technical troubleshooting they've done. It's down yet again and rather than fuck with those nitwits, I just connect to good ole Jeff's network and play away. I'll give BellSouth a call later but right now, I just dont feel like messing with it.
