Today was quite a momentous occasion. Still fresh from receiving our Club Internet box, I was lucky enough to take our very first telemarketing call this afternoon!! This call in addition to receiving our 2ND set of Dominos Pizza coupons yesterday makes us--in my mind--officially moved in.
As for the call. I answered "hello" in English (rather than "allo" with my very best French accept) so the caller was immediately suspicious which led him to ask if I understood French. I said (in French this time), "a little". From there he went into his big spiel... something to do about bathrooms, kitchens, catalogues, designs, and being able to pick designs. Some sort of home improvement consulation thing; or at least I think--so far I'm generally correct about 10% of the time. At the all of this, I told him that I rented the apartment which immediately led him to wish me a good day. So I think I actually understood why in the world he was calling! Amazing. At least it wasn't as embarrassing as the time I actually went down to the front door of the apartment to talk to come Christian evangelists (I had no idea who they were when then rang the bell).
Today is also the mid-term elections in the States. I hope they go well. I called my dad to see if he could vote for me (which I suppose is technically illegal) but the county hadn't even sent my absentee ballot. They are so reliable.
