Shokufeh is... home

The appointed minute

Yesterday, I recieved two telemarketing calls. Not such a big deal, except that they occurred almost exactly at the same time! They were spaced just enough that both calls got through: the phone rang, I picked it up, and instead of hearing a person at the other end, heard a beep indicating a second call. Trippy.

At least I could honestly tell both that I was on the phone, and not have to endure their pitch. (Okay, Iwas fudging a little when I told the second person, since I'd already used that line and hung up on the first person. But what's a second or two of reality when it comes to getting out of a sales pitch?)
