HOW INCREDIBLE WAS BARAKA OBAMA'S SPEECH TONIGHT???? can we talk about being gracious in victory? he raised the bar with his speech and set the democratic tone for the presidential campaign. i haven't felt this hopeful for my country in a long time. we, the people, have spoken and it's on to november 4th and the election of a democratic president of the united states of america!
i'm on the phone with a government agency
ReplyDeleteIt just has to be said... of course you've got nuttin' in your head talking to them!
O:)
OH joy! On the phone with a government agency. That's always fun. At least you got through.
ReplyDeletechica...i know! it does make you wonder, yanno? at least, the young woman i spoke with knew what she was talking about...that was a relief! xox

Per our conversation earlier and re: the wealthy people article- eat the rich before they eat you and back to the garden already!
ReplyDeleteThese things just slip out. I'm sure Mr.Cheney is truly penitent.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't count on it, but maybe you should have asked - or was that an other agency?
ReplyDeleteLast time I had to contact a government agency was when the tax people had sent me too much money. When I asked them how I could pay them back they were stunned. They didn't have an answer and the woman transferred me to two different people and the last one had to investigate and call me back.
Two days later they called me and said they'd be sending a letter with the info. A month later, I got the letter and paid instantly.
Then of course I called them 3 weeks later after hearing nothing back. Turned out they couldn't find my payment but in the end they found it, registered it and no doubt wrote in my file that I'm annoying.
tony...oh hell yeah, sugar...i never drank the kool-aid and i ain't about to start now! way cool re italy! xoxo
ReplyDeletecap'n...what can i say? when you're right, you.are.right! ;-) xoxo
(send me some GFK pics, dude!)
dicky-darlin...i'm sure he is...incredibly penitent! xoxo
pete...blog jinx! you were posting as i was answering! xoxo it always amazes me that governments continue to function given the inherent ineffectiveness and mediocrity that's so part of the system. maybe, just enough intelligent people are hired to keep things grinding along.
ReplyDeletebtw, they would have been on you like white on rice, if they had found the overpayment!
You're lucky you only got an agency, Savannah; over here, our Prime Minister is so desperate he's now phoning members of the public to plead for support. The newsmen are having a field day with it.
ReplyDeleteHee hee.
dive...OMG! i just listened to the bbc and there was the fellow that spoke DIRECTLY to your man! i can't even imagine that happening here! LOL
ReplyDeletehee - "drive by blogging" - I love that.
ReplyDeleteCheney - pfffttt.
Someone should tell those women that they really are stupid for spending $350 on highlights in the first place. There are other salons besides the one in Bergdorfs!
ReplyDeleteanonboxer... ;-) feel free to use it, sugar! xoxo
ReplyDeletesupernana...;-) as if, sugar xoxo
