December 7th

For those of you who didn't know or forgot, today is Pearl Harbor Day. I realize that this happened decades ago but, every year I remember and it breaks my heart all over again. If you have never stood on the USS Arizona Memorial you probally have no idea what I'm talking about. If you ever get the chance please go. I went close to thirty years ago and the feeling I got standing there is still there today. It seems to tear your heart apart and swell your heart with pride all at the same time. Looking over into that beautiful blue water and seeing what remains of a battleship, knowing it now it seves as a grave for many men is a feeling all to it's self. Over 2,000 lives were lost that day. In just a few hours, America was torn apart. Sad to say many more lives were lost over the next few years. Another place to vist if your ever there is the Punch Bowl National Cemetary. It also is a very sad and eerie place. You have never heard Taps played until you've heard it played there. So here's to all the fallen of Pearl Harbor and WWII. God Bless them and may they rest in peace.

A Caller

I have to share a call I recieved at work the other day. It is so silly we spent a half-hour laughing about it.

I was doing my little thing at work(answering phones. I make no phone calls.)when I recieved a call asking about a rep for a naional company. I did what I was suppose to. Hello my name is and can I have your zip code. The lady on the line told me her zip in a breathless-sex-kitten Hollywood type voice and then asked me if she could ask me a quick question. Being the nice (?) person I am I said yes and asked what the question was. "If I give you my address will you take your panties off right now and send them to me?". I asked if she would repeat that and she did. I then explained that I would find her a rep but I could not take calls of this sort and hung up. The great part is that I do have a bunch of younger people around me and it was slow so we were all sort of listening in on each other when we could. When they asked I told them and they all had much better ideas like, tell her to send a hundred to your house and you'll send the panties. To which I replied "I may be easy but I'm not cheap." Thank goodness they all take me as the Old Biddy and don't even think I meant it. It was good for a laugh though.

Holiday Movies,Songs and Memories

I was over looking at blogitright.com and saw her blog for today on christmas movies etc. I also realized how much the times have changed. I remember movies like Holiday Inn, White Christmas and Miricle on 34th st. Stories that made you feel good. I remember ( this dates me)Bing Crosby singing White Christmas, I'll be home for Christmas,Holly,Jolly Christmas ,songs that made you feel good. Good will towards men and all the other nice cosy feeling of Christmas past. It was a time to feel good. I time to give not want. nDon't get me wrong there was plenty of Santa and sugar plums. I never got coal in my stocking even when I was bad. that came from love though. My parents loved me no matter how I looked;}  What is your favorite memory of Christmas? Is it Midnight Mass, A present that was special, Atype of candy just for the holidays. If you happen to be something other than Christian what was your favorite holiday memory?Please let me know. I'll tell all mine before Christmas.

What do you mean it's Friday?

I started my week on Sunday. Today as far as I'm concerned should be Saturday. I do wonder about this job. Here we are in Colorado and they run on EST time. That means according to the company I go to work at 4:00am and get off at 12:30pm. They some how want me to hook that up with the real time here (MST) and work it with EST and a week that starts on Wed. I am so confused!!!!!!!!!! Not that confusing me is hard to do in the first place. We start on our own so to speak on Sun. Please do not call any offers you see on T.V. Just as a favor to me. I have found most people that call have no idea what it is they are calling for, nor do they care. One of the companys we work for has a script that says the companys name at least three times. I took a call read the script, got the info and the guy started yelling at me about apples. He was trying to call Safeways. I have to say one of the nicest people I've talked to was a french canadian.She was very nice. If you do have to call one of those numbers on t.v. please remember that we HAVE TO read that script and we have to try to sell you things you don't want. Please put up with it. We're just doing our job. have a great weekend. Take care.
