My time in hell, gripe of the week

For the past two weeks I've been working at my job as a receptionist. Most of the time everything runs smoothly. However, I will be writing my gripes in this blog.
Today I will start with Gripe #1.

Gripe #1

If you have caller ID, don't misuse it.

I get many calls per day with someone asking the question "Did somebody call here?" or any variation of "Somebody called me from this number", or "What is this?", "Who am I calling?".

First of all, I'm a receptionist, not a mind-reader. If I were a mind-reader, I would not answer your phone call believe me, I'd let the phone ring to my heart's content.

If you're calling someone just because you received a call from that number, then you should at least think of something better to say than to ask such questions. If the number seems strange, then it's either a miss-dialed call, or the call is not meant for YOU.

However, If you feel that it's really important to call back, then think of something important to say. Here are some examples of important things you can say to ME, when you call.



"I'm George W. Bush, and I'd like to let you be the first to know that I'm resigning my post and handing my presidency to you."





"I'm Stan Lee or Sam Raimi from Marvel Comics/Sony Pictures, I'd like you to take over for Tobey Maguire in the next Spiderman Movie."



This is God, I'm coming back soon. Repent.



Last but not least,
I'm the dude from GGW and I need a camera man this weekend in Cancun, all expenses paid, are you available?


Aside from that, please restrain yourself from calling. It might be hard to do, but it's not impossible.

The Pope on Punk'd

Everyone knows now about the hit MTV Show Punk'd. In the show Ashton Kutcher, punk'ds (tricks people using hidden cameras) celebrities. The celebrities included are Britney Spears (eww gross), Justin Timberlake, Salma Hayek, the members of Outkast, the list goes on and on. However, I think Mr. Demi Moore, does not go far enough.
What I would like to see is the Pope on Punk'd.

If Ashton could somehow call up the Vatican and get Pope Benedict, Punk'd some way that would be awesome.
For those of you who have sharp eyes and comment saying, "That's a picture of the wrong Pope!"

I'd like to say, "BIG FAT DuHH"! I know the picture above is the old Pope not the new one. But it's a much nicer picture to look at than this one.
.
Anyway, I'd like to see a big elaborate prank involving strippers, a flock of penguins, two clowns, a hippo, and 17 midgets dressed as nuns. That would be a gasser! Seriously now, I think if the pope can be seen as a celebrity exchanging high fives with Ashton, the world would be a much better place.

If you have any people you would like to see Punk'd, let me know . I'll listen to all suggestions.

Bums and Buses

Lately I have been riding the MTA bus lines to and from work. What I have to say is not going to be pretty. My gripes about the buses will be listed below.

Gripe #1.
The buses don't run on time.

Either they run too late, or too early. Wednesday morning Rosie and I were five minutes before the scheduled arrival time and the bus was not there. It was scheduled to be there at 6:19. We were there at 6:15. The actual bus did not arrive until 6:45. What's the point of putting up a bus time table if they're not going to be following it?
By the way, I'm usually late to everything, but when I'm early I would at least like to be rewarded by getting all the perks that early people get. Is that too much to ask for?

Gripe #2
Bums.

Bums smell, like urine, sweat, alcohol, feces, dirt. Bums stumble around, talk to themselves loudly, talk to YOU loudly, ask for change, make no sense. I suggest for the MTA buslines to install a decontamination chamber in each bus. That way the bum goes in dirty, comes out clean. I'm sure its as easy to install as their natural gas engine. Believe me, its worth it.

Gripe #3

Graffiti on the bus.

First of all. Taggers do not to have their name written on the seats, poles, windows, walls and i'm sure some of them have tried to write graffiti on a bum. Graffiti is unnecessary, illegible, grammatically idiotic and dirty. No one needs to know that your new name for yourself is; Clevr, zope, zpazo, photoe or any other misspelled or weird name. Your graffiti makes the bus look ugly and it shows how your parents forgot to teach you good manners.



Those were my gripes for riding on the bus. you can share your gripes as well.

plazes.com

I just learned about a new website titled plazes, in this website you can see where your friends are and pinpoint them on the internet. It's a real time gps (global position satellite) system but for people with cellphones.

I think this is interesting, because you can track any of your friends without paying a fee and it's always nice to start a trend or be on the beginning of one. If you're wondering about privacy concerns, then I can assure you that if you're lucky enough to have a stalker, then you shouldn't be on the internet in the first place.

Anyway you can look me up under thepacsays, and tell me what you think about the website, or show me how to use it.
