I am going to Bricktown tonight with Impact. We are going to Coach’s for dinner at 7:00, then heading to Kelsey Scoggins’ house to play games. It is going to be a crazy time - we’ll see if I ever post again after tonight! :~)
I don’t have a Washington Mutual Account!!
What is the deal? The past four days I think I have gotten about twenty emails telling me that many different people have been trying to log into my Washington Mutual account with the wrong logins. The spelling alone certainly makes it VERY official - take the following for instance: “If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choise but to temporaly suspend your account.” So, I have promptly followed the link, input my social security number, my bank account number, my check routing number, my billing address, my credit card number, my mother’s maiden name, and my blood type. Honestly! Let me know if you need all of that information from me - if you would just set up some very unprofessional website with a few boxes that I could input that information, I’d be happy to get that information to you. But, at least make it with a bank that I actually do business with! OK, enough of that, I do just think it is pretty hilarious!
This is certainly a topic which I feel that I can comment on with some expertise. Having worked with National Merit Scholars for the past five years, I have seen a lot of people come through the office. People who are normal, people who are nerds, and people who are downright weird. I prefer to think of myself as falling in the first category, but, before the comments hit the fan, know that I am probably a combination of all three. So, a couple of stories (someday I should write a book). My favorite story of all time is one student who came into the office waiting for my boss, Craig Hayes. While he was waiting, he wandered around the office meowing. We had one student who graduated three years ago who always came into the office barefoot and wearing a full wizard costume.
Today, I met another student who is high up on my list of intriguing National Merit students. He is one of those guys who is probably telling the truth the majority of the time, but who you really never can entirely believe because his stories are so far fetched. This guy would definitely consider himself a player, but our student workers who were in today assured me that they couldn’t see how he does it. It sounds like this guy is a total chameleon - sensitive or arrogant depending on what the situation demands. He spent about an hour in our office, telling us stories of classes he had been in where he told students off for asking dumb questions (obviously he is in the position to measure that), telling us about this girl who he met two weeks ago who broke up with her doctor boyfriend for him and who he is definitely going to marry. He told us about the wedding he is planning on the beach in California where the orchestra will actually be wearing wet suits and standing in the water, and the other wedding that he will have in France. I determined that he is definitely the postmodern man and I am wondering if I could possibly be his agent so that he could have his own TV show. This is definitely one of the things that I love about my job - the people are so varied it blows my mind!
