Optusly Annoying - you should know better Optus.

Received a call on my mobile one morning along the lines of:

O: Hi, My name is blah, I'm calling on behalf of Optus, how are you today?

J: Good thanks

O: Thats good, Optus is offering a number of deals at the moment. Could I please ask are you on pre paid or plan?

J: Um... why are you calling me, do you realise I'm not even with Optus?

O: Yes I understand that you are currently not with Optus. Could you please tell me if you are on pre paid or

J: Well I'm not interested thanks.

O: Well let me put it this way, wouldn't you rather save money on your phone and text messages?

J: I've been with optus and I wasn't happy with them so I'm not interested thanks.

O: Can I please ask what you weren't happy with optus?

J: I realised I could get cheaper plans elsewhere, my friends had also moved to other networks, so I wasnt benefiting from "Yes Time" and after I left, they had continued billing me for a year. So I'm not interested in doing business with Optus thanks.

O: Well we have a number of deals to offer you. Could I please ask if you are on pre paid or a plan?

J: I said I'm not interested thank youu.

O: Let me put it this way, Wouldnt you rather save money on....

J: No. I'm not interested okay? Byeeeee *click*

It's Easter, and I'm not eating easter eggs because I'm looking forward to gorging myself at an all you can eat chocolate buffet this Thursday. The cost for such an indulgent activity? $20. I probably can't stuff myself with $20 worth of chocolate but I sure as hell am gonna try!

While my friends might binge on alcohol and spend far more than $20 on a night out, I think that this chocolate challenge is similar in terms of self abuse. I'm gonna eat and drink chocolate and I'm gonna be sick and I'm gonna keep eating and drinking it 'cause I want my money's worth damn it... and like my friends who enjoy getting smashed by the nectar of the gods, I'm gonna later regret it. You're never too old for chocolate... unless you have diabetes.

Speaking of older, I turned 30 last month and you know what my supportive workmate said to me? He said, "They say 30 is the new 50". Thanks Dan. I actually celebrated by having a 60th birthday party. You see, my old schoolmate turns 30 in the same month, so by combining our celebration we had ours 60th themed. Guests had to dress up as old people and to top off the theme, we held the do at a lawn bowls club. Despite all the fun we had, I hope didn't offend the genuine senior citizens at the bowls club. Soon after the event I said to my gf, "I feel old", to which she nonchalantly replies, "But you are".
