Under the "O"...Sixty-nine...Six-nine
This is a mixed post. I, like Charlie Brown before me, shall be wishy-washy.
First the bad, then the good.
I think I have a new pet peeve! I was coming home from work today and I saw about a block ahead a cop turn on his siren so that he could turn left at a red light. He didn't have the siren on before hand, and he wasn't in any great rush. Damn this casual abuse of power! CURSE CURSE CURSE! I don't know why, but it really set me off. Jerks.
But the good news is that I'm a Bingo caller! (and a damn good one apparently.) I'm taking to the game like a duck to water, and getting lots of encouragement from the clientele and my fellow staff. I have two trainers and they've both said that they're blown away with how well I'm doing. I really think they don't believe that I've never done it before. Now before you say "Right, how hard is it to call numbers?" Well, let me tell you somethin' Jack! It's trickier than it looks. There are a million little things to keep track of, and every process has thousands of steps to it. But despite all this, I'm accelerating! It feels pretty damn nice to be this good at something right off the bat. A little ol' lady tipped me $15 tonight. Another ol' lady said that I have a sexy voice. I gave her a wink. A guy with one arm said I was doing a really excellent job, and yet another ol' lady gave me a thumbs up. I'm a lot less cynical about this job than I thought I would be.
So in conclusion, police abusing their power so they don't have to wait 20 seconds at a red light: BAD!
Getting a perverse pleasure out of saying "sixty-nine" to a room of ol' ladies: GOOD!

This is a general comment about your site. I couldn't help but notice that you seem to have put links up to all of your friend's blogs... all of your friends... all the ones that have blogs anyways... even some that just got blogs a few days ago... everybody's blog...
Just a general comment.

I saw a cop doing the very same thing after coming home from the 12:01 showing of Return of the King way back when. I guess he/she thought that only us Lord of the Rings nerds were out on the town that night, and none of us would have the nerve to challenge him.
He was right.
My brother was once a Bingo caller and he was apparently not too popular among the elderly, so good for you! Make those ol' ladies squeal like it hurts!
you said the old biddy tipped you 20 on MSN...
All I Ask for is Consistency!
I've never heard the "inside" scoop on bingo calling before. Thanks for sharing.
(p.s., that's not my real picture, either)
How about becoming a law enforcing bingo caller?
Hooray! I have crossed the line between screwing around for myself (and to a lesser degree my friends) into appealing to the general masses! Huzzah!
And by the way, the picture is of Ms. Meg White of the popular musical duo, The White Stripes. She is very pretty.
Hey there! I just want to give you a huge thumbs up for your excellent info you have right here on this post. I am coming back to your site for more soon.
