Tonight there have been at least three calls...

For me from Research Companies. Nope, they aren't calling to hire me to do fabulous library research for them, they're calling to do surveys, and I'm not in the mood tonight. The phone rang a fourth time and it turned out to be my Dad. They finally found a replacement oven/range for the renters here in Portland, and he'll be back in town for the

We've received 3 survey calls tonight so far. They keep leaving messages on the answering machine. *rme*

That's quite a coincidence. Usually I'm up for doing surveys, but the last one took about 45 minutes, and I wasn't up to dealing with that last night. Way back in the day I used to do current radio surveys where I had to listen to a bunch of music and let them know if I thought it was being played enough, not enough or too much. That was fun.. and let me harken back to my college radio DJ days.

Heh... I used to be a telephone surveyor... then a survey supervisor. It's not a fun job, I can vouch for that. I know I was always thankful when someone did the survey without chewing me out.

I don't know what I'll be doing when I get old. Probably knitting sweaters for my 17 cats. ;)

My grandmother, you may know this already, lives to go grocery shopping and to dr's appts. IMO that's a pitiful existence but whatever...

I want to end up like my Uncle's Mother. She's turning 99 (I think?), and in her early 90's she was still traveling to Spain & Portugal, and in her 70-80's she traveled the world. She's got a dwindling supply of friends "near" her age since they are dying, but she plays bingo, and has lots of friends and family. She's a hoot!
