I’m getting ready to pull my hair out. I’ve been getting a phone call from the same person, over and over again. This is, in and of itself, not unusual. It’s actually been a repeat problem all this week, from different people. The difference today is that it is one person calling from a commercial collection agency, and they are looking for an employee that no longer works here. And hasn’t for YEARS. And it doesn’t matter how many times I tell them that this employee no longer works here, this chick keeps. calling. back. And it’s not even like it’s someone else from the same company. No it’s the SAME PERSON! Honey, I’m not lying to you. He doesn’t work here anymore. Please stop calling me.
Hmm… apparently I need to write an Open Letter to all outside callers/visitors as well. LOL
With the fall series and season premieres coming up in the next week or two, I’m trying to keep my eye on the TV listings to see what’s coming up. I have a bad habit of wanting to watch something, but then missing the first show. Or first several. Since I don’t like to be behind, I end up not watching at all. And I’m not fancy enough to have a DVR, so at most I can watch one show in a time slot, and tape one. But I have an early bedtime, so I have to choose between the shows in later time slots. It kind of stinks, actually!
Among the shows I’d like to make sure I catch this year are The Biggest Loser, Lost, America’s Next Top Model, and Gossip Girl. Actually, I’m liking a lot of the CW’s new line-up– the mid-season starters are looking especially like things I could get sucked into. Gossip girl starts on September 19th. That’s next Wednesday night, so those of you with DVRs can set them now. It’s also convenient for me since I want to watch America’s Next Top Model, and that will be showing on Wednesday nights as well so I won’t even have to switch channels! Gossip Girl on The CW looks pretty interesting. It’s based on the Gossip Girl books for young adults, and it features a group of teens from Manhattan’s Upper East Side, and a mysterious “Gossip Girl” who knows everything and posts it on her blog. As someone who writes a few blogs, and reads a lot more than that, I’m intrigued. Mix in that I have a bad habit for wanting to know all the gossip, and I’m definitely interested. One of my coworkers comes in here every afternoon and says, “Hey Jenn, what you know good?” Funny enough, I can usually come up with something.
I’m making myself a note to catch Gossip Girl on the CW next week… if I don’t space it out, I’ll make sure I come back here and report on it!
