This is what we call irony

During the three-hour Biggest Loser finale I was making homemade mini-pizzas.  But in my defense, they're surprisingly healthy pizzas.  Multi-grain crust, lowfat cheese, veggies and ham for toppings.  Each is only 250 calories.  go me.  And it turns out that even though I hate seeds like sunflower on their own, I don't mind them mixed into dough.  double woot.

I have to admit I'm a little grumpy at the moment.  On Monday night I found out I won this tasting-party thing where they bring samples of food and cook it right there at your home.  It's supposed to be tomorrow night at 8.  I could invite 5 people.  Of everyone I asked, ONE person had the courtesy to at least respond to me and that's to the negative.  Granted she has a good reason but still.  I'm probably going to call them up in the morning and tell the chef not to bother if it's just going to be me.

Very much off topic, but I can promise you that if you are ever rude to a calls service person, you WILL be remembered and you WILL be gossiped about afterwards.  On the way to the parking deck someone was talking about a bad call she had, first one of the day, where the person told her three times she was rude, said that she'd been "short", and demanded to talk to a supervisor.  And when the supe pulled the call afterwards, there was nothing the calls person had done wrong except perhaps be too bubbly that early in the morning.

Then Misty told us about a call where she asked the person what their member ID number was and she was told that "there IS no member ID on the card, you puke!"      which was followed up 10 seconds later with, "oh, there's the number."

The strangest insult I got was an upset gentleman who told me that it was nothing personal against me but he hoped that I, as well as everyone else in the insurance industry, lost our jobs.  But it's nothing personal against me.  Right.    I've been sworn at and accused of wanting to drain people dry of their money without giving them any service, or not caring if people live or die so long as "I" get their money.  But the call that really sticks out is the volcanic man, incidentally the first person to swear at me, who accused me of wanting his daughter's vagina to rot and fall out before we'll pay the ##%%^&&^%^%*!!!!! claim       *sigh*  oh, the things we would say if only we wouldn't get fired for saying them!  :)
