Ear cyst drained pretty well and has shrunk to a fraction of its former size. Lots of blood, which was expected, but I was intrigued because it was the first time I can remember that anything pitch black came out of my body. Unfortunately, Wayne made a dent in my forehead with a lighter he threw at me Saturday night, so I still look like a freak

I used to just hang up on telemarketers, but once I did the whole cold-calling thing, I soon realised how crappy it is to have that happen to you. So now I just say "I'm not interested" and give them time to process that and say "Bye" before hanging up.

And Dave's charm is sort of like hypnosis. Complete with swirly eyes and a dumbfounded gape (from the victim, of course :P).

Oh boy, can I look forward to a similar experience come December! It's a telephone job in which we call random numbers and ask people to participate in short surveys for graduate students from Ohio State University. I can just imagine the rudeness and insistance on not wanting to buy anything, or even demands to remove their number from our list, even though it's a random dialing process that uses no list.

Have fun!
