Yeah. You heard me.
What a strange day.
I have a job.
What?!
Yeah. A job. Sort of.
I became a guide at ChaCha yesterday. They had me waiting and agonizing for 15 days over whether I had passed the tests or not. I saw countless people approved ahead of me while I languished.
It's not the best paying gig, but it's kinda fun. People ask questions, and ChaCha answers. It's like a Magic 8 Ball of texting mayhem. Except, we provide URL links to our answers as well. Try it out sometime. Ask about flights, the weather, the closest restaurant to your location, or, as I was asked today:
- Who is the tallest man? (he's 8 ft 11.1 inches!)
- Yo momma jokes (mine: "Yo momma so poor, instead of television she watches Etch-A-Sketch.")
- What is the chemical makeup of Windex?
- Do u have a girlfriend? (Sadly, I do not. That wasn't my answer, though. I gave dating advice.)
- Various pubic hair shaving/waxing questions from a 14-year-old boy
In other words, it was one heck of a fun first day at my job.
(Would you like to be a guide? Lemme know. I can refer you. Use my e-mail address.)
In other news...
Phil and I have tickets to see Barack Obama's speech at Invesco Field at Mile High!!
WOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!
Remember when we volunteered in order to get those tickets? When I didn't get felt up by an old man? Apparently, volunteering pays off.
At first, they turned us down and put us on a waiting list. I gave up after that, thinking all the tickets would be gone. But, today, I received the golden ticket after eating a chocolate bar... or after opening an e-mail (one is slightly less truthful than the other).
Here's the dilemma...
That same night, the very same night, I am scheduled to canoodle and schnooze with none other than Mr. Lady herself, the purveyor of spirits at Whiskey in My Sippy Cup. ARGH! She and some fine folks are having a big ol' blogger party in downtown Denver. I'm going to try my dangdest to be there after the big ol' speechifying.
There are all kinds of rumors about the speech. Will Hillary Clinton speak? What about Al Gore? Is it going to be Bill Clinton? If so, should I bring my black beret or leave it at home?!
TOO MANY QUESTIONS!!!
SO MUCH EXCITEMENT!!!
I think my head is going to spin in circles and pop off.

New post over at Imaginary Shrinky. Won't you come on by?
18 beautiful people muttered something back:
My question: What pubic hair questions did the 14 Year Old Boy ask?
That actually sounds like a very cool job! How bad IS the pay? ;) I am unemployed, after all...
You will go to the speech and then come to our party. I am planning on being there until sunrise on Friday.
Yay, a job! And a fun one! I didn't know those existed.
Yay for hearing Obama's speech! Maybe Rocker Boy will be there banging his head to Barack's infinite words of wisdom.
I hope you enjoy both immensely, and also have time to see Mr. Lady! Loving the shrinky page, too. By the way.
You rock!
Congrats on the job and going to see Obama's speech. They are shown most of his speeches over here and he is a very good speaker.
Congrats and Congrats and Congrats!
You HAVE to go to Obama's speech. what time does it start anyway? Come to the Bash afterwards, we'll save a seat for you.
It's kind of amazing that after all these years of being only slightly more than apathetic about the political process, we're suddenly in the thick of it. Or at least involved in gawking at it. I wonder if we should paint our chests to spell out "O-B-A-M-A"?
I'm glad you get to go to the DNC. You seem excited about it. AS for me being in a building full of people who think it's okay to kill unborn babies, bleck, no thanks.
Sarcastic Mom - There was no end to the pubic questions. They mostly dealt with shaving versus non-shaving, and why anyone would want to do it. The fellow obviously wanted to hear, "It will make your junk look bigger."
Suzanne - I sent ya the info!
Mr. Lady - Done and DONE. Your wish is my command. I'll arrive sweaty and excited on my bike.
Amanda - We're excited to go. There are rumors that Bruce Springsteen will play. It's all very hush-hush.
Stephen - I'll wave from our nosebleed seats so that you can see us. Look for the enthusiastic dots way up high.
Greeblemonkey - We don't have a gauge on when it starts, except that gates open at 1pm and there are vague rumors that the speech will be at 7 or 8. I'll be at the party, don't you worry!
Phil "will need to shave his chest" - If you are willing to paint your body with OBAMA, I am not one to stop you. The Secret Service might, but not me.
Kim - We are excited about going. It's not often that such a huge event happens just down the street from me.
As for "a building full of people who think it's okay to kill unborn babies", I think that statement is pretty offensive. You are lumping me into that category, and I've certainly never killed a baby. Your logic eludes me. I will, however, be sure to let you know if I see anyone stabbing babies or stuffing them onto tent poles. It should be one heck of a baby-killing night!
Errr...how DOES one respond to that???!!
@Kim. Baby killing is bad. Killing thousands of grown men and women is just soooo good.
Sadly, it takes all kinds.
i love sarah, yes i do! i love sarah, how about you?! and jill, i love jill too! exactly why i am a true blue dem.
Forget the black beret. It was the thong that got all the attention.
Sorry didn't mean any offense to you and I wasn't lumping you in there whilst thinking that thought in my head. I know not every democrat is pro choice I just know Obama is. I do however truly hope you have/had a good time and hope there was no sacrificial baby at any point in time.
I'm insanely jealous about your Obama tickets.
Congrats on the job!
One...I SOOOO want to be a ChaCha guide. Please?
Second, I'm so jealous of you getting to see the speech. It will surely go down in history!
I've lurked for a while and Suzanne and I read each others blogs. (Unfortunately, I had to take mine private for a while.) When you email me with the Cha Cha info, I'll send you an invite!.
