The Issues

I got another "God Bless" you today over the phone and subsequently it was another wrong number. I also got a women who called and when I answered "Archdiocese of Boston" she goes "yes?" as if I called her and proceeded to get annoyed/confused until she hung up. Senior demetia is so silly.

I get an hour off for lunch which I usually spend in the breakroom reading and eavesdropping on other peoples conversations. There are 4 circular tables with about 3-4 chairs at each, which works out well because there are probably 3 or 4 people who eat lunch at a time and they all insist on eating at their own table, yet engaging in conversations with each other. The breakroom is located in the basement and apparently is known as the "womens breakroom" because there is only a womens bathroom there and a pink floral couch. However, it should be known, or is known to me, as the "45-yr-old-and-up-busy-body-womens lunching room." Boston accents required. I usually get about a half an hour to myself before I am invaded by 3-4 women who sit and eat their Tupperware salads or Progresso soup. All these women are on constant diets that dont, shall we say, give off the impression that they are working. Today I got to listen to 3 women discuss "Dancing with the Stars," a favorite in the "lunching room," the trials and tribulations of one woman's son and "Hindu daughter-in-law" who loved each other very much but just couldn't make it work and the critical analysis (or befuddlement) of the movies Gone Baby Gone (too dark), the Darjeeling Limited ("I didnt get the comedy") and There Will Be Blood ("it was so violent, blood everywhere" - obviously she didnt see that coming from the title), which provoked the hilarious reference to Daniel Day-Lewis as "that Spanish actor."

*****Breaking news flash******
I have just received the call of all calls. The Trump call, if you will. A woman just called very distressed and said she needed to speak to a priest because she needed to be exorcised! She said she had "dark spirits inside her" and needed to get them out. I offered to get rid of them for her, but she was having none of it. I have been waiting for this call ever since I was offered to take this job through my temp agency. Now I can go forth from this job knowing I came in contact with the Catholic crazies. God Bless this woman.
