G&T

First call of the day: after I greet some woman with my usual "Archdiocese of Boston," she panics because she has the wrong number and does this "arch?...oh...uh...I, um..hey, well God Bless you...sorry, I...have the wrong number." I bet she hung up the phone and was like "God Bless you?!" Either that or she did something really horrible and saw the wrong number to the Archdiocese as a sign she should start repenting. I like to think its the latter.

I got another wrong number yesterday from a guy who said he got this number from craigslist to buy a motorcycle. He kept on insisting this was the number he got off craigslist even after I assured him 3 times that this was in fact the Archdiocese and I have no motorcycle for him. This is either a sign from God that he shouldnt get the motorcycle and that he risks dying a horrible death or he just needs to pay better attention when he copies numbers downs off of craigslist. I like to think its the former.

Runner up for best call of the day was a guy whose cousin was trying to convert him and he wasnt having it, so he wanted to talk to someone about why they try to convert people and how to get his cousin to stop. I dont know why he called the Archdiocese about NOT wanting to convert, but if this guy wants to take on the church more power to them.

You know how sometimes old people have this one joke they tell over and over again because they think its hilarious and dont pick up on the fact that the joke isnt funny once you've told it 5 billion times? God smite me if I ever start doing that, but theres this woman who everyday at around 3pm get a cup of water and if anyone runs into her doing this she goes "time for my G&T!" In the past 2 and a half weeks Ive heard her make this joke probably about 5 times and thats only when someone runs into her right outside my door. I cant imagine how many times she makes this joke a day and how many people still sympathy laugh. I wonder if I could get away with bringing a cocktail to work and if I got caught be like "oh, I thought Karen has a G&T everyday." In fact Ive often wonder about drinking/smoking at work. I think I feel an experiment coming on...
