Pea Porridge and Other things I Dislike

Peas porridge hot,

Peas porridge cold,

I don't think I'd
ever eat it

Nine days old!

Today I reaffirmed a certain dislike and discovered another two. I try not to have many things that a dislike, but of the few (OK, you can stop laughing) things that I dislike these are defiantly to be counted.

1) (the reaffirmation) Crawling through attics wearing a jacket, not for the warmth but because of the fiberglass insulation.

2) (discovery #1) Upon reaching the site in the attic where the work is to be done (which I might add is aways at the furthest possible spot from the access point) discovering that you do not have the tools you need. So you have to make the trip back out, over and under all those things that want to poke, grab and hit you.

3) (discovery #2) Upon accomplishing the project and successfully extracting oneself from the attic, discovering that ones cell phone (which was used to communicate with the other person working on the project) has fallen out of one's pocket and said person has to return to the attic to find where it fell (which of course was the furtherest...).

Yes, there are some things in this life that I dislike.

As one that works with youth, I am always on the lookout for anything that might fit into the fun/slightly crazy/weird/fun category, especially games. Now there are the standard games like dodge ball and tag that are just your old standbys. Every once and a while (OK more often then that) I try and find something that will capture the attention of the kids and send them home talking about what a great time it was to ...(fill in the blank)... I think that I found one. What if I were to tell you that we played Monopoly for over an hour with 12 kids and everyone had a blast? Ok, what if I were to tell you that we played with a 462 sq foot Monopoly board and you were to bring your biggest stuffed animal as your token? It was so cool! Granted it took about 10 hours to set up and a bit of money to get the materials, but that was not even the best part. I spent about 4 hours that afternoon before youth group and went all over town asking for donations for prizes. I got 5 free combos from Taco...

Why?

Why is it that society considers it OK for women to wear open toed shoes and flip-flops in the work place, but requires men to reserve such freedom for nights and weekends? Oh the inequity of the situation! And oh the bliss my feet will now enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (the flip-flops that is)

Today I was mean!

Telemarketers can be fun. I try and be understanding and stuff when they call because I know they get chewed out from time to time and so I try to be nice as I say no. Yes, sometimes I play with their minds by answering the phone in a weird accent or something, but still I try to be nice. Today was different. (A little background) Over the last few weeks I have been getting calls on my cell phone from 727-683-1126. I did not know where this was so I google'd the number. I found several references to the number, all of them very negative about their experiences with the company that used the number. "That is interesting" I thought. Today I had my chance to find out first hand. (The Event) They finally called when I was around and I had the chance to talk to a young man named Alex. Alex wanted to tell me that I had won a $100 gas card, $400 in airline vouchers and some other odds and ends. And you guessed it, they just needed the name of my bank to verify that I was the per...
