Listening to: From the Choirgirl Hotel. Not for long, though... it's not really matching my mood quite like I was expecting it too.

Currently Reading: Just barely started Jonathan Lethem's Gun, With Occasional Music. Kind of saving it for the train, as well as a stack of others (both fiction and non). Also, I recently read Laurie Notaro's I Love Everybody (and Other Atrocious Lies): True Tales of a Loudmouth Girl (again) in like two days, and peed myself laughing. Highly recommended. I also devoured The Broke Diaries by Angela Nissel in, like, a mere few days. Laughed until I peed. Also highly recommended.

Wishing: income. Lots of it. Other than that, life's pretty good.

I couldn't be more The current mood of ronkc@diaryland.com at www.imood.com right now.

Saint Gabriel, Pray For Shaniqua.

Okay.

So I've got this friend. We'll call her Shaniqua so that she doesn't get fired from her job.

Shaniqua, you see, works the reservation line for a group of inns along the California Coast. Let's call it "Inns on the Coast."

Her job, you see, is to answer the phones, "Inns on the Coast, this is Shaniqua?" Also acceptable: "Inns on the Coast, how can I help you?" Not hard, right? Wrong.

Life has had her somewhat more preoccupied over the past few weeks. Let me give you three (3) examples of her preoccupations.

First, Shaniqua was playing Bingo online, and after N 37 had been called, Shaniqua answered the phone, "N 37, this is Shaniqua?" I don't think the caller caught it, but it was good stuff nonetheless.

Once, Shaniqua was shopping for catalogs, having a snack, when the phone rang. "In...dividually wrapped, how can I help you?" What? Okay. It gets better, though.

Out of no where, just the other night, Shaniqua answers the phone, "Inns on the Coast, how can I think about it?" I tell her that next time, she should answer, "Inns on the Coast, how can I live with myself?"

She's not amused. (Love you, Shaniqua!)
