| I was at home the other night in the middle of my dinner when the phone rang. | |
| ME: | Hello. |
| AT&T: | Hello, this is AT&T. |
| ME: | Is this AT&T. |
| AT&T: | Yes, this is AT&T ... |
| ME: | This is AT&T. |
| AT&T: | Yes, this is AT&T ... |
| ME: | Is this AT&T.? |
| AT&T: | Yes! This is AT&T, may I speak to Mr. Byron, please? |
| ME: | May I ask who is calling? |
| AT&T: | This is AT&T. |
| ME: | OK, hold on. |
| At this point I put the phone down for a solid 5 minutes thinking that, surely, this person would have hung up the phone. I ate my salad. Much to my surprise, when I picked up the receiver, they were still waiting. | |
| ME: | Hello? |
| AT&T: | Is this Mr. Byron? |
| ME: | May I ask who is calling, please? |
| AT&T: | Yes, this is AT&T ... |
| ME: | This is AT&T? |
| AT&T: | Yes, this is AT&T ... |
| ME: | The phone company. |
| AT&T: | Yes, sir. |
| ME: | I thought you said this was AT&T. |
| AT&T: | Yes, sir, we are a phone company. |
| ME: | I already have a phone. |
| AT&T: | We aren't selling phones today, Mr. Byron. We would like to offer you 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. |
| ME: | Now, that's 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day? |
| AT&T: | (getting a little excited at this point by my interest) Yes, sir, that's right! 24 hours a day! |
| ME: | 7 days a week.? |
| AT&T: | That's right. |
| ME: | 365 days a year.? |
| AT&T: | Yes, sir. |
| ME: | I am definitely interested in that! Wow!!! That's amazing! |
| AT&T: | We think so! |
| ME: | That's quite a sum of money! |
| AT&T: | Yes, sir, it's amazing how it adds up. |
| ME: | OK, so will you send me checks weekly, monthly or just one big one at the end of the year for the full $52,560; and if you send an annual check, can I get a cash advance? |
| AT&T: | Excuse me? |
| ME: | You know, the 10 cents a minute. |
| AT&T: | What are you talking about? |
| ME: | You said you'd give me 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That comes to $144 per day, $1008 per week and $52,560 per year. I'm just interested in knowing how you will be making payment. |
| AT&T: | Oh, no, sir. I didn't mean we'd be paying you. You pay us 10 cents a minute. |
| ME: | Wait a minute, how do you figure that by saying that you'll give me 10 cents a minute, that I'll give YOU 10 cents a minute? Is this some kind of subliminal telemarketing scheme? I've read about things like this in the Enquirer, you know. |
| AT&T: | No, sir, we are offering 10 cents a minute for |
| ME: | THERE YOU GO AGAIN! Can I speak to a supervisor please? |
| AT&T: | Sir, I don't think that is necessary. |
| ME: | I insist on speaking to a supervisor! |
| AT&T: | Yes, Mr. Byron. Please hold. |
| At this point, I begin trying to finish my dinner. | |
| SUPERVISOR: | Mr. Byron? |
| ME: | Yeah. |
| SUPERVISOR: | I understand you are not quite understanding our 10 cents a minute program. |
| ME: | Is This A T &T? |
| SUPERVISOR: | Yes, sir, it sure is. |
| ME: | (I had to swallow before I choked on my food. It was all I could do to suppress my laughter and I had to be Careful not to produce a snort.) No, actually, I was just waiting for someone to get back to me so that I could sign up for the plan. |
| SUPERVISOR: | Ok, no problem, I'll transfer you back to the person who was helping you. |
| ME: | Thank you. |
| I was on hold once again and managed a few more mouthfuls. I need to end this conversation. Suddenly, there was an aggravated but polite voice at the other end of the phone. | |
| AT&T: | Hello, Mr. Byron, I understand that you are interested in signing up for our plan.? |
| ME: | No, but I was wondering - do you have that "Friends and Family" thing because I'm an only child and I'd really like to have a little brother... |
| AT&T: | *click* |

Love this song. <3 :)
So I’m supposed to get this refund check for the semester. It’s $147 right?
So I ask my mom about it and she says that that money goes to her because her loans get paid off first. uhm….hello? I’m the one with more money out! It’s ridiculous! Then she decides to bring my sister into the equation! Like she has anything to do with my mom and I and my college education! I need that money to take summer classes…..sheesh.
This is how it is
I love God. Plain as that. And last night, yea. Thank you. I had fun. But, I’m not ready for any sort of relationship right now with anyone. At least I figured that out. So this semester is going to be my work hard semester. :) I want a good GPA, better than last semesters anyway, and I want to be able to feel accomplished and grow in my relationship with God. So I think a relationship would just spoil that, because that would be one more thing to focus on.
Move
I want you to make a move, but at the same time I don’t.
I don’t know if I’m ready for another relationship so soon.
hmm…….I don’t know.
Maybe…….if things went at a snails pace….
Or if you would just be religious like I want you to.
But you can’t make someone do that, so I guess we can’t be together.
Even though I like you.
My religion is way too important to me.
Spring Start
Yay for new classes! I’m really over-loading myself with 20 Hours but oh well! I’d like to hear back from the tutoring center soon about the job too!
Class List:
Calculus 1
Psychology 101
Sociology 201
Economics 215
Spanish 102
Vocal Ensemble
Percussion Ensemble
Percussion Lessons
May be a little overwhelming but hey! why not? I’m already paying a bajillion dollars just to be here, why not give it everything I’ve got?
Well that MRI was probably the most painful one that I have had in a while.
sigh.
well.
all that’s left to do now is to pack for school and wait for the doctor to call!
thatdude293 asked: Pssh. I hardly use this thing for questions. But I'll ask you some. How did you find my blog?
Well. Your Facebook is the same as your Tumblr and you can find it on google.
Who’s to say that I can’t date casually?
I’m in college now right? So that means that I don’t have to commit to a relationship.
Even though I would take you back in a second, doesn’t mean that that’s the best thing for me.
I would love to be with you again. But you need to learn.
So I need to be happy with myself before I can be happy with anyone else right? right.
But I can’t just go on a date with just anyone. I mean I have at least some standards.
All in all. The holidays, well they were somethin’. I enjoyed Christmas and celebrating the birth of our Savior. My sister and I kept saying “Happy Birthday Jesus” all day long. :)
I’m excited for the starting of my spring semester, especially since it’s my last at Winthrop. But I’m excited because after that, as long as things go accordingly, I’ll be Clemson bound!
thatdude293 asked: Hello!
That’s not a question. But hello.
