It's been a while since I last posted. To be honest, I don't post frequently anymore because I feel like my readership is down. Perhaps, I'm not a good writer. Either that or my family isn't that interested in what's going on with me or don't want to hear my rants. However, today, something happened that was worth reporting on.
No, it isn't that Andrew was standing in Panera when an old lady drove her car through the restaurant and hit nine people. Yes, this did happen today and, no, Andrew wasn't hurt.
It's not a lame update that I have a job and an apartment and feel, finally, moved in. It isn't about how we're adjusting to life in the Big City or how it's nice to be in a city that doesn't shuffle its homeless people off to somewhere else.
It's about a letter that I received from AG Edwards. This letter is priceless. It isn't priceless because it was documenting the move of funds from one account to another, in that respect, it is worthless (we already know, thanks guys). No, it's priceless for how it reads:
Home Phone: 847 - ***-****
Retired?: No
Occupation: Case Manager
Employer Name: Syke Temps
I'm still laughing. Can you imagine if Syke Temps actually existed? What would they specialize in?
"Well, we hired a temp for a little bit but he hasn't showed. Did you call the temp agency to ask about him?"
"No, I'll do that now." Dials. "Hello, this is Bill Crosby at WilPower, yeah, unhuh, unhuh, No, I'm 32, white, and was never on television. I was wondering, where's that temp we hired?"
"He'll be right over...
....
....
Syke! We never sent anyone!"
heeheehee! quite the entry. ;-)
What a story for Andrew, too!
Posted by: Mara at July 19, 2007 7:02 PMWow! I actually saw that story about the woman mistaking the Panera for a "drive-thru". Thank goodness your friend wasn't hurt! On a side note . . . I read all your blogs ... I enjoy the way you write! Just no real opportunity for me to respond. But don't stop writing!!

Posted by: Andrew at July 20, 2007 9:08 AMI love you and I love your posts and I don't quite get your jokes. But I love you and I love reading what you have to say. I was sort of hoping you would post about your Franklin encounter. I did comment on his blog about you. You and Kristen were mentioned. Sort of. At least, I recognized you.
Posted by: The Neglectful Mama at July 20, 2007 9:19 AMOh my goodness! I am SOOO curious about your Franklin encounter!! Do tell!
Posted by: Mara at July 20, 2007 2:36 PMI saw that Kristen posted too! Right before me.

Posted by: Helen at July 21, 2007 6:32 AMKristen has made a nice new post about our move here. It's even well written. You can read it at www.dornbrook.com/Blogs/Kristen
I'll post some more in the near future, thanks for the reassurance (oh, and Helen, I swear, Kristen and I will make it to the UK in the not to distant future!).
Hi, Mensch!
See, but it's only a temporary Syke. They'll eventually send someone!
Syke! No we won't!
