Whatta day
While waiting for the salmonella food poisoning to kick into my system today, the following happening to me (personally, even):
I couldn't park in my lot at work because of a FIRE! I saw the smoke as I was approaching the deck, but I pulled in anyway because I lack a brain sometimes. A woman waved her arms and told me to go away and to tell everybody I knew.
I reflected on the genius that is Eddie Izzard after having seen him last night. He's ridiculously funny and I think his various British accents help a lot. Some of his hijinks wouldn't sound the same. I ate some tomatoes at a restaurant before the show, but they were cooked so I think I'll be a-ok. If not, I'll be in the bathroom. And then the hospital.
I internally celebrated a major milestone in my countdown to ParisFest 2008! Just 50 more days until France has to deal with me again. Oh France... I apologize in advance.
I got an employee incentive (meaning: bonus) for being me! I also may have done some work. I'm not sure, but it's odd since I don't work in the private sector where bonuses are given out like candy on Halloween. Or so I've heard.

ChaCha
Tell me, have you ever:
wanted to finally win that damn team trivia played game at bars/restaurants?
settle a stupid bet with a friend over a stupider issue?
chat with random strangers incessantly?
use up all your text messages in your monthly plan?
No? Me, neither, but evidently, other people are not like you or me. They text (242242) or call in their questions (1-800-2-CHACHA) to ChaCha, a free SMS answering service. The answers come back within 5-10 minutes on their cell phone.
How do I know all this? I work at ChaCha. I'm one of their Guides and answer the inane questions all y'all have. And you really have inane, pointless questions most of the time. But that's ok because I like inanity. I'm paid for the inanity at $0.20 an answer. Yes, it's a goldmine. Actually, it can be useful if you don't have a smartphone with a web browser and you need to know where something is or the hours of a store.
Anyway, if you want in on this cash cow, sign up at www.ChaCha.com under the Become a Guide section. If you like researching on the Internets, wasting time on the Internets and answering pranky questions with your own killer wit, this is a possible job for you. You don't need to put my email address down in the referral field, but if you do, I take half your earnings! Mwahaha! No, I wish, but that's a lie. I get a 10% bonus for every question answered, but if you're not feeling goodwill towards me today, I understand. It happens.
If you get nothing else out of this promo for ChaCha, don't be so thick and realize that I'm trying to get you sign up and work for ChaCha using my email address, but I'm trying not to be obnoxious about it (for once). You can also take away the easy to remember text number (242242 which spells CHACHA) and ask any question you can think of. It'll be answered and I might be the one doing it. I'll try not to roll my eyes too much when I see it.
