The other night L answered the telephone. It was a telemarketer, of course. He asks 'may I speak to Christine?' L responded 'is this a promotion?' The gentleman asks 'is this Christine?' Unfazed, L asks 'is this a promotion?' To her surprise, the man started laughing and admitted that yes, it was a promotion. She answered politely 'I'm sorry, we're not interested!' before hanging up the phone. We thought the whole incident was a bit funny, no disrespect intended!
L is keeping herself very busy as usual and I'm bugging her to please accept her university of choice THIS WEEKEND (wishful thinking?). The deadline is May 28, however one can't (shouldn't) wait until the last minute.

Son #1 waited until the very last minute to pick a university; for most of the summer he was assigned to temporary housing(which meant they would make the dorm's lounges into bedrooms). He did end up getting an actual room before school started, but it was a very stressful period-at least for me.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to L in making her decision. I know it is s a difficult one. Have a good Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I used to always tell my kids not to wait until the last minute. What am I saying? I still say that to my son and he's 31 years old!
ReplyDeleteStill... choosing your university is a BIG decision.
Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteThanks for puppies and swimming kangaroos !
Hope L soon decides on Uni. I like to be in good time too. I was actually walking down the aisle at 2.20 for my 2.30 wedding ! Unheard of and called for a lot of comments !
Oh that is funny but now you are so on the call back list! If you do stuff like this they put you to the top of the must call back list!!
