BCR and BlackJack

I have called this one telemarketer group almost every day this week to try and get them to stop calling me at 8 AM. I've been rude, I've been polite... I even tell them that I have an infant and they keep waking her up (which is semi-true... Lily isn't exactly an infant, but the phone IS waking her up). Anyway, they have an automated message that calls me at 8 AM and instructs me to call them back. But when I do, they AREN'T EVEN IN THE OFFICE YET. Like, where do you get off calling me when you aren't even at work to answer my call yet?!?! Furious. So then, I've had like, 4 different people ASSURE me I would not receive any more calls and yet, every morning at 8 AM, I get another call. *RIPS HAIR OUT* It's driving me absolutely batty.


That's pretty much all I'm writing about. Yesterday was uneventful. Trevor got paid. It was not enough, as usual. We had to go grocery shopping, though, so we did. Also, love "The Red Box" at Wal-Mart. You use your credit card, and pay $1 and you rent a movie for a night. You have to return it the next day, or they keep charging you but damn, that's cheap. We rented 21 and Definitely, Maybe. We watched 21 last night, GREAT movie. I personally just love Kevin Spacey. Anyway, it's a movie based on the true story of the MIT Blackjack team that learned how to beat Vegas. After watching the film, I researched it a little more, and they of course took lots of liberties to enhance the plot and whatnot... but there WAS lots of members of MIT, Harvard, and other schools that learned how to count cards and win at Vegas. God, I wish I could do that.

Maybe more later, I have some heads to beat in via the telephone.
