Hello people,
Today is Friday, and thank god for that. It's not like I've been to school all week though, because I haven't. Here in Illinois, we've just experienced a winter storm, and there is snow and ice everywhere. It's a mess...
Today has been a good one, I guess. I haven't really done too much. I woke up at around 12 to my sister telling me that they are coming to pick up the garbage, finally. Due to the storm, the city has been a little bit behind. So, I rush out, in my pajamas, to take the trash cans to the sidewalk. I then come inside, and take a shower. I eat something, and then there's work. So, not the most amazing day, and nothing happened the way I wanted it to, but no matter... it's all good. At least I love my job.
Last night was rather interesting. I get a private call on my phone at roughly, 2 am. Normally, I don't bother to answer them, but I was feeling arguementive. I answer, and at someone says: "Hey, why don't you go listen to Fall out Boy, and cut your wrists... yeah, I bet you suck your Dad's dick..."
I have to say, I was expecting something a bit more creative. I mean, obviously, these assholes do not know me at all. I hate Fall out boy! So, I hang up... They call back, ranting about the same stuff, I think I know who it is, and become a bit threatening. I then, once again hang up. They call the third time, and I think: "I've called them names, they've accused me of stuff..we're judging each other, they don't know me, and I don't know them....let's get to know each other..." So, I answer, and I'm like "Woah guys, WTF, you don't know me, I don't know you, let's talk.." Lets just say, through me using my Joker voice, and being kind to them, we talked about everything. I offered to make them Chocolate chip muffins, we found out that Zeppelin was a hot topic, I told them I work in radio, come party... we introduced each other... Turns out, they had the wrong guy to start with. They thought I was somebody named Nick.
Point is... If somebody calls you on a private, or restricted number, and cusses you out, and accuses you of thing you aren't a part of... Simply, get to know them before you judge them back. Then, let them know who you really are, and calmly talk to them. Chances are, they'll level with you, and you wont get another call for the rest of the night... I didn't.
Thanks for reading!
loveyoubye!
