Cold calling with no voice, and golden showers with midgets.

Mondays are my days when I'm in the office(read: bedroom) and make prospecting and follow up phone calls.

I was at the game last night. I broke up with my girlfriend before I went. I was drinking. I was with many people. I was acting like myself: total clown, yelling and mocking idiots. There are too many "I's" in this sentence.

Quest: How am I supposed to make calls when I sound like a 13 year old who's voice just started changing today?

Did you actually break up with your girlfriend?

I can't tell whether you're bragging or complaining.

Would I lie to you, Soz? I knew you'd be reading, and I thought, "Soz is going to be reading this, I better not lie about breaking up with my girlfriend, because Soz can smell a liar from many miles away and she'll drive out to Boston and kick my pathetic ass."

Yes, I did. Fighting too much...time to walk.

Neither. I really can't speak though. I made a call to someone and my voice cracked twice. Very professional.

Maybe you could say "Hello. This is Peter Brady and I'm calling about..."

You're sure to trap all the baby boomers in for a listen just for that!

Hot tea with whiskey and honey.
Trust me, I come from Irish stock.

You could call up and sing "Time to Change" (see: http://www.bradyresidence.com/songs.html ) Snaps to boomer for the crossed Brady reference.

Okay, serious suggestion: hot tea with honey and lemon, don't smoke (I don't know if you do, but if you do, don't at least for the day), don't hang around people who smoke, and try not to talk unless you absolutely have to. I have allergies so for me it helps to take allergy meds and stay away from allergens (uh, that's pretty much everything, heh), so if you are allergic to ragweed or whatever try to stay inside and away from it and only go out quickly to grab lunch and then come right back, don't go running around some flowered area if it's an irritant.

Can I kick your pathetic ass for breaking up with her?

Ah well. You guys were together for quite a while, that'll be good for you in the long run no matter how you slice it. (How long was it?)

I do not smoke. Except heavy amounts of crack cocaine.

I might have to grab some tea. I don't think I have any biscuits.

BPB, I'm not waking up tomorrow thinking the world sucks. Are you kidding me? I'm single with a strong pimp hand.

Uh-oh...are you watching Oprah again? I'm the bad guy who goes breaking hearts of all the poor defenseless females...hang me in public while all the women stone me while holding pints of Ben&Jerrys in their non-throwing hands.

We started seeing each other June last year...so it was a while.

I know I know I went to ah well quick. But you haven't said much about what's up with her, last I knew is when you said actually she was sweet and wonderful and you had no good reason to break up with her.

More than a year, that's cool.

Soz, pretty simple. Constant bickering, and everthing was a huge issue to her. I have never fought with girls before. Just realized it isn't worth it when I couldn't always be myself in certain situations because I didn't want to start a fight. So...on to the next ex.

Cav, I do act my age. My high school age. I have to make up for my shyness at that stage somehow.

Well, constant bickering ain't good.

Seriously, it's cool that you tried that hard for that long, and I think it's valuable in and of itself and will serve you well in the future.

Now back to our regular golden shower felching midget whatever programming...
