Random Thoughts X (The 9th Regeneration)

[wxman1]

Got a call from a random number that when I picked up it rang like I was calling out. Then it just ended.

I call my wife Mrs (our real last name) every once in awhile just to get the dirty look of that's your mom not me.

I just got a call from someone with card services from American Express, Visa and Mastercard. Apparently, they were looking to extend my credit line.

I played along for a little bit.

Me: "So you're telling me that you're from card services for three completely different credit card companies? That's amazing!"

Scam artist: <silence>

Me: "So do you need all three of my credit card numbers or can you view them all if I just give you one of them?"

Much happier scam artist: "Well, sir, we would be able to .."

......dial tone.........

Today is my last day at my intern job.

Also, I could use a nap.

My wife kept hers as well. I hate it when people think she was trying to make some sort of feminist statement by doing that. She kept her name because it's two letters versus my ten. She liked having a short name and didn't feel like going through the hassle of changing it. I have never cared once about it.

My parents are pretty old fashioned and will still address things to her treating her last name like a middle name and then tacking on mine at the end. It's kinda disrespectful to my wife IMO, but she tells me it's not worth it to make a big deal about it.

I wasn't making a statement, although I see nothing wrong with being a feminist or thinking women should be treated equally. My MIL said she was just going to call me by his last name anyway, which I found odd since she hates me. My thought process was more:

1. He fell in love with me. I'm not changing who I am or who we are as a couple.
2. My two degrees and all of my professional contacts are my name, not his.
3. I don't want to change all of the crap I have my name on.
4. My first name is boring, his last name is boring, and combined, there is a fictional character with that name.
5. My last name is much shorter and fits into those form boxes way better.

As for the kids, everyone knows they are mine, they came out of my body. We'll make sure he gets some credit too.

I read your review on that restaurant.

I would love to have one of the scam artists call me about how my windows PC notified them of a problem with my registry and they need access to fix it.

I took my first husband's name because no one could spell my last name (it's German). Couple that with the fact that no one can spell my first name either, and his VERY simple name (not quite Smith or Jones, but close enough!) was very attractive. When we divorced, I kept his name because I had two sons living with me that shared the name, and I really didn't want to have to start spelling my name or change all of my documentation again. When I re-married, I went ahead and changed my name because I didn't want to be married to PapaLew and have my ex-husband's last name.

My sister went a different route. She took her husband's name. They divorced (no kids), and instead of going back to our unspellable, unpronounceable maiden name, she went with our mother's maiden name, McNeill. When she remarried, she kept McNeill.

Is that a banana in your pants or are you packing heat?

We've had that one a few times. PapaLew LOVES messing with them.
