Things I Do Not Need

[thessalian]

Phone rings. I pick up, thinking it could be one of the very, very few people with my landline number, calling with news and information.

I get a recording trying to sell me double-glazing or insurance or some such shit. As if I want to hear that now. I hang up with a hearty "fuck off".

Comment from nightskywarlock when I told him this?

"...the fuckers have no souls. exhibit a"

Meanwhile, I e-mailed my mother to a) tell her I'm okay and b) make sure she's okay. David e-mails me back, tells me Mum's fine and didn't mail me because her e-mail system is backed up ... then demands my land line. Because, of course, he can't get through on my mobile.

It's. Called. E-Mail. How the fuck do you think I got a hold of Mum in the first place? I've explained why no land line -- our line is shit and full of recorded telesales arseholes! Why does he have to go into this now when I have already voiced my objections?

I'll be better when my people are home safe. I know I will.
