Nate: American telemarketers are moving to India because they'll get paid better.....(after some silence)... I don't know where I got that... (group laughs)... I got that from the homeless man in the parking lot that bums ciggerettes off of me.
Me: He gives you some knowledge, you buy him some shoes. (only Nicole laughs)
Nicole: I can't believe you just threw that out there.
Me: Go-head Mr. Wendel.
Cat sitting
I rush up the stairs and fumble with my keys. I get to the door, and let myself in with the alarm code repeating on my lips. I punch in the numbers and nothing happens, so I try again. The alarm goes off and the cats are running and hiding, but they can't escape the sound. I call Matt's cell and I get Lori.
Me: Hey, I don't remember the code and I left my cheat-sheet at home. The cats are going nuts.
Lori: (laughing) it's ...(she tells me the code)
Me: (punching in the code) Sorry to bug you, what do I need to do? Are the cops gonna show up?
Lori: Well, the alarm company is gonna call and you will need to talk to them and then a cop may still come by to check things.
Me: Ok, well (phone rings)... I guess that is the alarm company.
Picking up the house phone, I have the alarm people in one ear and Lori in the other. Lori is feeding me lines to respond to the alarm people. The call ends.
Me: I'll just hang out for a bit to see if the police showup. I'll call you when that happens or in 20 or 30 minutes when I leave.
Lori: Ok, later dude.
I sit down and mess with the remote controls until I am able to turn off the radio, and turn on the TV. As I am switching between Diehard 3 and Abyss, there is a knock at the door. It's been about 20 minutes since I got off the phone with Lori. I answer the door.
Officer T: We had a call that the alarm went off is everything alright?
Me: Yes officer, I am here to feed the cats and I for got the alarm code.
Officer T: Do you have any ID?
Me: Yes, ( getting out me wallet) I have the owners on my phone, want to talk to them? (I hand the officer my NCDL and dial Matt's cell)
Officer: Yes.
I hand the officer the phone as soon as it begins to ring. I here Matt answer and the officer asks if I am supposted to be in thier unit. At this point I being to wonder if Matt will take this opportunity to fuck with me. Matt tells the officer that it's ok. Mean while, the entire time I am playing goalie of the door, trying to keep one of the cats from greeting the officer. The officer hands me the phone.
Me: Do you want to come in to check things out? Or can I come out, I am worried that the cats will get out.
The officer steps in as he makes notes for a minute or two and then hands me my ID.
