so one of the first things i do at work in the morning is check the news. some of the news sites i frequent are the bbc, rte (irish), cnn, ny times, and then a few local ones from new jersey. so i see on the ever so fabulous nj herald website - yay sussex county, a bit about callers who were trying to reach the democratic headquarters in newton reached a phone sex hotline instead... apparently 411 had a number wrong, but the yellow pages gave the right number. so i had to laugh a few hours later when i was checking cnn.com and on the front page the top headlines looking at the international side is Typo connects Obama party callers to sex chat
i burst out laughing when i saw that make national news. congrats to sussex county for making the international news for something so silly!
anyway, the usual thursday at work. we've been pretty busy with lots of international students and regular students looking for housing, plus since college starts back on monday the societies are all coming back. and we've gotten some hilarious things in this week too, the student who wanted to know his rights about leaving a house because he was allergic to it... (seriously) and the students who took a house, moved in the first week of september and we got a call from a landlord yesterday wanting to know what she should do, they left monday and the house was a disaster. they wanted to get their deposits back as they were leaving... they actually only took the house because they were graduating and wanted a house to party for a week! so we are also getting some crazy stories about houses and landlords as people are moving in.. keeps us entertained!
so my computer is back! i got a call yesterday right before lunch. so YAY! my co-workers laughed at me on tuesday. when i talked to them on friday, they had ordered the wrong part, so i was told it should be in monday or tuesday. so monday i call and they say it hadn't arrived yet, so i call tuesday afternoon, where i was told they ordered the wrong part AGAIN! so i get angry with them, i see ordering the wrong thing once, but twice??? My computer was in the shop for 10 days, when to fix it might have taken about 2 hours... so i was not a happy camper when i called. sharon told me after i got off the phone, remind me to never piss you off. haha. and that was nothing... so wednesday when i got the call i was pleasntly surprised that it was done so fast when i was told they didn't think they would have the part until thursday...
so other than that went climbing last night, getting back into that. walburn is sending me her edits on my thesis tomorrow, so it should be a thesis filled weekend :) the plan is to finish it this weekend and bring it to the binder's on monday or tuesday! soooo close to being done!
