No, this is not Phil's Taxi Service

Posted on By admin

My phone number is one-off from a taxi serice. The taxi is 918, I'm 819. This means that once in a while, we get the occasional random phone call (usually either really late or really early) asking for a cab.

This morning, I spent 2 minutes arguing with a little old lady that no, this wasn't Phil's Taxi Service:

LOL: I'd like a taxi please
me: I'm sorry, you have a wrong number
LOL: No I don't, this is Phil's Taxi Service
me: I'm sorry ma'am, but it's not.
LOL: Yes it is, I have the number on the card right in front of me XXXXXXXX918
me: You've reached XXXXXXXX819.
LOL: That's what I said. Now I'd like a cab.
me: *silence*
me: I'm really sorry ma'am, but this is a private flat, not a taxi service
LOL: Oh bother (she actually said that) *hangs up*

I was told off because I wouldn't send a cab out to her. If I'd have been just a bit more evil, I'd have taken her address down and hung up way before the end of that stupid conversation…

Not the best weekend ever

Posted on By admin

For the second day running, I slept for shit. Bad dreams, too hot, too many things running in my mind. I've been in and out of bed since 5am this morning. I can't stay in bed when I'm awake cause my back starts playing up, but at the same time, I'd like to be there when the girl wakes up. She's currently snoring away – lucky girl. She doesn't know how beautiful she is just lying like that and she doesn't believe me when I tell her so.

Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal… and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.

– cuddling with the Katy
– reading
– cooking
– watching antique/auction shows on TV (Flog it! Antiques Roadshow and Restoration man beign current favs)
– doing stuff with my hands
– lounging on the couch with a hot drink and nothing to do

I reach out and touch: [info]blacksquiggles,[info]kaliko_mel,[info]pretentiousgit,[info]la_tatie and just to see if he'll play, [info]mekez

Oh your mark, get set, cook!

I've been cooking for 4 and a half hours. I've been doing dishes for 4 and a half hours.

Dinner was kick-ass, but I'm TIRED!

On a completely unrelated note, Tesco delivered my groceries this morning, as well as part of somebody else's. It' the only way I can explain why I ordered 12 eggs and ended up getting 33.

33!!!

I've made a bundt cake, I've made a quiche, I've made pancakes. I still have 23 eggs left.

This is why I like the people I work with

A coworker went to Ireland and brought be back a fridge magnet. Here's a chat snippet:

<Rc> it's perfectly horrible :D
<AQuinn> i'm glad you don't like it :D
<Rc> it will be featured proudly on my fridge
<AQuinn> cool. how does it rate on the tacky scale?
<Rc> sappy message, garish colours, kitshy theme all give it high points
<Rc> the only thing that detracts from perfection is that it's actually solidly built
<Rc> so it only rates a 9 out of a possible 10
<AQuinn> i'll try harder next time ;)

*giggle*
