Hello World!

Well, here I am. I finally joined the world of blogging. Why? I'm not really sure. Perhaps it's just to get my thoughts and opinions out there ... or perhaps it's just a form of therapy. I don't really have any expectations that anyone is going to follow me or that anyone cares to hear what I may/may not have to say.

While I was writing this post, I received a call from a telemarketer. I understand that they are just doing their jobs, but they really irritate me. I tell them that I'm not interested and they just keep talking. "May I ask why you are not interested, ma'am?" Why? Because I'm having beef stroganoff for dinner. What does that have to do with anything? Absolutely nothing. Of course, it doesn't really matter what you say to these people, they just keep talking and for some reason, they try to make you feel as though you have to justify yourself to them. You don't. "Don't you want to save money?" I'm having beef stroganoff for dinner. "Wouldn't you like to have your services bundled into one easy bill?" I'm having beef stroganoff for dinner. Try it. Give them an answer that is not on their script. If nothing else, you will annoy them as much as they are annoying you. :D
