Unexpected phone calls
...can be either pleasantly welcome, or freakin' annoying.
For instance, a cousin found me on Facebook - I didn't even know she existed, since my aunt ostracized our half of the family about 15 years ago. But anyway, we exchanged phone numbers and had a nice chat about our lives. She's a touch conceited - but then, she's only 13. Slack cut.
On the other hand...
I somehow accidentally got involved with one of those pyramid-scheme recruiter guys. He comes into my place of work every weekend with his wife, and they really are a nice couple. We got to chatting about health products one day, and he was so enthusiastic about the products that he personally uses (made by the company that he works for...go figure) that I stupidly let myself show some slight interest in the topic.
So I caved at his persistance, gave him one of my generic e-mail addresses, and agreed to listen to what he had to say about his "amazing company - really, truly different from other such companies"...Big mistake. He talked me into a webcast presentation that wasted over an hour of my life. And even though I made it very clear that I would NOT be interested in joining him, he somehow got the impression that I would still buy his products regardless.
This man calls me on an almost-daily basis. And I know, I should totally set him straight point-blank and threaten him with the authorities - because it really is almost to the point of harassment. But I'm not a huge fan of confrontation, and I would still have to see him at work all the time, so...I let it slide :-(
Ugghh.
Gym is almost-to-schedule thus far. I flopped yesterday though, so I did that workout today in addition to my cardio.
Chu's nephew made fun of me for only working out half of my body. Apparently, 12-year olds know more about exercise science than I.
