Your result for Reincarnation Placement Exam... Gypsy Camp
You sing! You dance! You flee from the authorities! You were a bit difficult to place, because you like civilization and humanity -- but when it comes to work, you don't really fit into the system, the ruts and the rituals, that modern civilization embraces. You like your own ways... your old ways. We've placed you among a hardy Gypsy family. They'll have you plucking a violin before you can talk, and dancing before you can walk. The road is your home, and your horses are members of your family. You get to wear lots of shiny things. We expect that you'll have a good life. Even if your people are surrounded by a world where they don't really fit in, they have each other, an oasis of compatibility in an unbalanced world. We know you'll make the most of it!

02:49 pm - time flies
I love when old friends come visiting so off to Barbara's we go tonight to visit Madhatter and Muffin. But Daaaaammmnnnnn it is bad timing we have so much still to do and it feels like time is just flying through my fingers.
Well at least it's payday. Pretty soon I'll stop putting calm as my mood and more like hysterical.
Current Mood: ![[mood icon]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/mood/niaha/kitty/ankhappyr.gif) calm

11:50 am - Is it lunchtime yet?
Can anyone suggest a drink or brand that not soda and not something full of sugar that still taste good. Something I could drink at work besides water and crystal lite added to water?
In the meantime...

05:07 pm - Ikea - cheap furniture and cheap shot advertisement
Enjoy the hubbub. Here the ad that has the blurb creepy goth and bad influence. And yes I think it was a poor advertisement call. Not as bad as Cartoon Networks bomb scare in Boston.

(I was a goth in the 80's and as hard as I tried to be creepy I think I was just geeky...) anyway I love my customer service background. Everyone will be recieveing this letter if they write in.

02:31 pm - Have a Happy...
Dear Mr. Thatcher,
I have been a loyal user of your Always maxi pads for over 20 years,
And I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard
Core(tm)or Dri-Weave(tm) absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding
Or
Salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the
Beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your
Revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough
To realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell
You how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16
In my pants.
Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from
"the curse"? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my "time of the month" is
Starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces
Violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body
Will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call
"an inbred hillbilly with knife skills." Isn't the human body amazing?
As brand manager in the feminine-hygiene division, you've no doubt seen
Quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers'
Monthly visits from Aunt Flo. Therefore, you must know about the
Bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood
Swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize
it's a tough time for most women.
In fact, only last week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge to
Shove her boyfriend's testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because
He told her he thought Grey's Anatomy was written by drunken chimps.
Crazy! The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is
Just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants.
Which brings me to the reason for my letter.
Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to
Reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi
Pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: "Have
A Happy Period."
Are you f**king kidding me?
What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really
Think happiness-actual smiling, laughing happiness-is possible during a
Menstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit
Pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sick
S&M freak girl, there will never be anything "happy" about a day in
Which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and KahlC:a and lock
Yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local
Walgreens armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life
In a blaze of glory. For the love of God, pull your head out, man. If
You just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make
More sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like "Put Down
The Hammer" or "Vehicular Manslaughter Is Wrong"? Or are you just
Picking on us?
Sir, please inform your accounting department that, effective
Immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have
Chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will
Certainly miss your Flexi-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your
Brand of condescending bulls**t.
And that's a promise I will keep. Always.
Best,
Wendi Aarons
Austin, TX

01:57 pm - Gotta love radio drama
ok so on my drive in I listen to 98.7 the Jamie, Jack and Stench show. This morning I was suprised when I heard Jamie White crying on the radio and trying to apologize to everyone that she was crying. I thought what the hell could have made her cry on air?. (FYI the part where he saying don't touch me is because he was in Jamie's face and looked like he was going to hit her. And the producer which is nicknamed "Poodle" yes he is gay, touched his shoulder to move him back. Poodle was shoved back into the wall.)
Then they played the clip of what happened earlier.
You can here it here.

(go down to the bottom where it says Sam Rubin entertainment)
click on 12/15 - 8 AM Entertainment Headlines now go about 5:42 into it.
Needless to say I wrote in and got this response:
Being in customer service I know exactly what this is a standard form letter that everyone is going to get no matter who they write to.

To whom it may concern,
A parent should not let their children roam in the
work place no matter the age. Jamie White had every
right to tell them to leave. Bill Handle did not have
any right to curse on air. He not only needs to
apologize to Jamie White he needs to apologize to all
the listeners for his unprofessional behavior.

I don't know why but this made me smile. I think it's the part of big bird poop and animal bits of cleaning out their nests. I for one will sign anything for them to stay right where they are since we put them there.
