Funny how I never eat when I'm at work. I work at a freaking pizza joint

I mean, I can make almost anything I want, ribs, salad, pasta, hell, I can make chicken strips and fries if I want I'm just never hungry at work.

I know what you mean, my job is terribly boring and when I get bored, I get the munchies really bad. This is a problem because the only things available to eat are overpriced junk food and burgers at the place across the street.

Well hopefully there will be something else to waste your time soon enough. =\

Wish I could say the same, although I have about 5 games that I haven't made that much progress in...

I usually play with friends, not alone

It's just a free timewaster for when nothing else really works, I guess.

That 000-000-0000 number is nothing new to me.
It's just another trick to make you pick up the phone.

Unless a person's on my list, they're not getting my answer and it goes right to the voicemail. Now if it's someone I need to talk to, usually they'll leave a message and I'll call right back. If it's dumbasses that need to know when to quit...that's another story.

I don't get calls anyway, so I don't have to worry about it... I would've expected at least some calls by now, since it'd be right in the autodialer's start range for 716-*

I never answer my phone unless I know who it is. If you wanna get hold of me, leave a message, pretty simple.

A couple years ago, I would get called every so often and a Spanish recording would start talking to me. It came from a different phone number every time, but the recording was always the same.

The calls stopped as mysteriously as they started, and I haven't had anyone call me in Spanish since.

According to my caller ID, I got a phone call from a numberless number today.

I heard nothing for 10 seconds, then "Hello, this is Mrs. ---"

Then nothing. WTF?

Usually the only time the phone rings is from someone we know. Even if it doesn't show a name, it's usually someone we know.


Also, I finished those SMRPG logos. :3

1 missed call: Mom
0 new messages

I didn't answer because I'm trying to train her to CALL DURING ACTUAL DAYLIGHT HOURS.

She seems to have it ingrained in her head that I'm awake until 9 AM and waking up at 10AM or something absurd and it needs to stop.


Oh yeah, I tried leaving my phone off on New Year's... hah, that was a great experience. I had like 3 messages ARE YOU WORRIED/OKAY I WAS WORRIED BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T ANSWER AND YOUR PHONE WAS OFF AND SKYPE WASN'T ANSWERING WHAT'S GOING ON ARE YOU SAFE AND WARM. (Even BMF got a message ) ... that doesn't work with my mother.

Even a thousand miles away she still annoys me.

There's a reason my parents don't have my IM info.

My mother kind of required it.

(Yeah, I know... she even made me test it before we left, and got a laptop explicitly to use it )

Oh jeez. This is where I shoot myself in the foot - my 7 (or 8? I forgot) year-old cousin has both my primary email and IM info... He tends to IM me the most useless things (favorite video game, hrgh constipation, hello hello hello are you there, etc.). Sure, at first it was kinda cute/humorous, but now it's like an endurance test of my patience/sanity. Also, if I happen to have him blocked or I'm signed off for most of the time he's online, he'll email me, whining for me to sign on. I really regret showing him the ropes of AIM.

He'd better become fun to talk to within the next couple years. I can't handle this so much anymore.

On the contrary, if he comes over and we play Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, he's actually pretty enjoyable. ... Even in Co-op.

I guess it's good in a way that my mom knows absolutely nothing about computers... I never have to worry about getting random IMs.

On the other hand, I do get frequent phone calls requesting assistance with complex computer tasks such as printing a web page and forwarding an email.

Heh, that's one of the few advantages of my situation. My mom knows I can help with that stuff, but lives like 3500km away. My dad never uses the damn things, and my stepmom doesn't trust me and/or prefers to stumble around with them herself. Still every now and then I have to figure out why my dad can't connect to Xbox Live, but that's about it.

They all have my email, but my mom is the only one who ever uses it, and not often. I doubt any of them know how to work any IM programs anyway.

Granted, my mom isn't totally computer illiterate. She's been learning how to do things for herself. And since I set it up with virus scanners and a limited user account and explained to her how they work and why not to use the admin account unless it's necessary, there haven't been any major problems.

My mother worked in IT up until last year. She's capable. I get the occasional silly question, but they are usually so silly they are easy to fix. She's usually done all the hard troubleshooting and overlooked something basic.
