Hump-day My boss has gone to the British Virgin Islands for a conference. Yet he still said I should come into work. It's only him and me, and I'm an intern who struggles for to find work when he's here. Still I came in today; when I left yesterday I told him that if he had anything to leave it for me and I'd be more then willing to do it. I arrived to nothing, so I have one small project I keep putting off that I guess I can work on this afternoon. Then if nothing happens by the end of the day, I'm calling in for the rest of the week.

Speaking of calling in, here at the EOC we have like a dozen phones for when it's in operational mode. Every phone has it's own extension but only one is a direct outside line. And so it's everyday about this time of the morning that someone calls in and then proceeds to tell me that they have the wrong number. One day they were looking for a florist, another day a beauty shop, and on another for Rondell. I don't know how people get this number, or how it's always someone different calling, but not a day goes by that it doesn't ring. I thought it was just changed over from another department, but everyday it's someone looking for someone different. Kinda like in the old Batman tv show, where they'd climb the side of a building and everytime someone different would poke their head out and make a comment; you'd watch and wait for someone to poke out and say something. Kinda like that. Yeah...I'm an idiot.

One last thing: the craziest headline this week has to be any number of the ones mentioning the story about Marc Cohn being shot in the head...and surviving. Very weird. I like one Farker's headline suggestion: Singer Marc Cohn shot in the head, survives. When asked if he was a Christian, he replied "M'am I am tonight!"
Only works if you know his hit, Walking in Memphis. Check it out, you'll dig it.  ¶ 8/10/2005 11:23:00 AM
