I <3 Olympix, plus some other things
I just love the Olympics. I want to take the next two weeks off and plant myself in front of the television. Fencing? I'm all over it. Diving? You betcha. Hell, I'll even watch that candyassed badminton crap. Unfortunately, I can't manage to take two successive weeks off work, especially not to do something as exceptionally lame as watch TV. But every four (well, two, really) years, I have that TV on for two solid weeks, and when I'm not in front of a TV, I'm on nbcolympics.com and watching live events or replays. Really, listening to, because ya know, I have work that won't get done if I'm glued to the intricacies of target shooting. But I'll have it on as background noise just to get that Olympic experience.

I got all excited-slash-nervous because I noticed that I had a voice mail from my grandparents. Wait, my grandparents are dead. My BIO grandparents called me about an hour ago, and left me a message. I wondered what the occasion could be for them to call me. I have spoken with them once in my life: my birthday in 2006. So I checked the message:
"Delores? Hi, this is Glenn. We won't make the luncheon because Mary & I have got a painting class for the next few months. That's our message. Love ya! *click*"
Sigh.
*******************
I had other things to say but now I can't remember what they were. Bye!
EDIT: Oh yeah. I just picked up a call on my home phone. I knew it would be a telemarketer, but I picked it up anyway. The guy asked for me. I said I was not available. He said that he was calling from [insert name of the University where I work], and that he'd call back later.
Why is my employer calling me at home?
