Today, after a week on bed rest in a cast after ankle surgery, I got so bored and lonely I agreed to do an hour-long government phone survey just to have someone to talk to. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was so bored at my job as a receptionist that I actually got excited when the phone rang. FML
Today, I was so lonely, I wound up talking for two hours to the creep who calls my number every Friday night and makes creepy obscene breathing noises on the other end of the phone. Turns out he's a better listener than my husband. FML

Today, I was so lonely that I pretended I wanted to buy something from a telemarketer so that they would keep talking to me. FML

Today, I was so lonely I called my stalker ex-boyfriend. He was too busy to talk. FML

Today, I was so desperately lonely that I begged a telemarketer not to hang up on me. FML

I love talking to them! I get to rant about Roswell, Jesus, Amway, Nibiru, 9/11, the Lindbergh baby, OJ Simpson, Biafra and the Hindenburg, and they just have to sit there and take it!

As someone who works for a company who conducts these surveys, you are wonderful. It’s hard to get those long surveys, and sometimes our hours are at stake if we don’t get anyone to complete them.
