Telemarketer

On Monday, a telemarketer called around 11am and asked for my husband.  I replied that he wasn't available, could I take a message?  She said no, no message, when was a better time to reach him?  I said that he would be home after 5pm.  She said thank you, we said good bye, and I hung up.

On Tuesday, the same telemarketer company called around 11am and asked for my husband, again.  I told the person that I had told the lady yesterday that he wasn't available right now, could you please call after 5pm to reach him?  She said she'd make a note of it in the system, apologized for the inconvenience, and said they would try back later.

Today (Wednesday), at around 11am, the same f*ing telemarketer company called around 11am asking for my husband, AGAIN.  They chose a bad week to call me - with everyone sick and me PMS-y, I wanted to reach through the phone and choke the person.  Still, I tried to be kind.

Woman:  May I speak with ---HUSBAND---?
Me:  This is the third time your company has called this week asking for my husband.  This is the third time I'm going to have to tell you he's not available.  Is there a note in the system regarding our number?
Woman:  Oh, let me see...*reading aloud* "Call after 5pm."
Me:  Oh, I see, so it does say call after 5pm.  Maybe we're in different time zones.  It's 11am here, what time is it where you are?
Woman:  ...1pm. 
Me:  Ah, okay, so...it's not after 5pm there?
Woman:  I didn't see the note until just now and...
Me:  So you don't do any research on your calls before you make them?  That seems really inconsiderate if you're calling to get information from someone.
Woman:  *hangs up*

I really, really hope they don't call back anymore.

Also, happy Solstice day!  Balancing eggs on end today and in September is awesome.

I thought it was SO cool!  I showed the girls and they didn't care.  :/
