I'm not sure that craigslist is international so I'll just write it here:

To the person from Brazil who called me at 6:30 this morning, thanks ass. I didn't want to sleep in on my day off anyway. Hope I can repay the favor as I now have international calling on my phone!

I think I want a new job. I suppose I missed the fine print where it says that friendships and having a life might suffer as a direct result of said increase in pay and responsibility.

You're up at 545 to work at 630 and then spend your Friday night watching I love Lucy episodes before passing out early.

I went to Ocean City, MD this weekend to celebrate mom's 50th birthday. Getting down there was something of a nightmare as we left my sister in charge of directions.
