etc. So I hear Jonbenet Ramsey's killer finally got nabbed! I was worried, you know, for a moment, that the killer would never be brought to justice. Then I saw something shiny, and honestly I forget the rest.
Welcome to my humble abode! Apologies for the not-so-deft second posting, but I've been quite busy. You see I have this job-thing, which has been beneficial solely for this really neat system they "in the know" like to call "Health Insurance," or "If I give you money and then crush my pelvis in a freak see-sawing accident, I won't have to pay for it." I am now employed with the big V, yes, that's Voldemort (colloquially: Verizon), and charged with the dubious honour of informing customers how it was exactly little Timmy managed to charge 6000 text messages to their account, when his service plan clearly ceased to cover the cost of such an absurd communications medium approximately 5900 text messages earlier. "Not Timmy," they might say, "he has great difficulties putting on pants in the morning, let alone utilizing such an impossibly complex piece of telecommunications equipment I still consult the manual for each time I want to make a call, get frustrated, give up and then write a letter." Not to worry, I remind them. Did you know your son is also being charged to receive messages? Ah yes, this must be it. Timmy is wholly absolved of all responsibility, as clearly his friends have sent him 6000 text messages. Would that all children had as much such discipline as little Timmy!
At which point -- and I swear I am not making this up -- the mother proceeded to wander aimlessly around the store proclaiming this dire truth (our children are text messaging victims) to such likely parental sources as mothers, fathers, and bill payment kiosks.
But I don't mean to brag. Honestly, though, I love my job, and am quite thankful that it generously provides enough "bread", as it were, to allow me to focus on my dream of moving to England this fall. Yes, that's still coming. When there's a date, you will know. Because it will have passed and I will be updating abroad.
Hell yeah.
