timepiececlockJust donated 25 dollars to the Red Cross hurricane victims fund, while watching this celebrity & music fundraiser special on tv. Sadly, I did not get a celebrity on the phone. Instead I got this guy who TALKED WAY TOO LOUDLY because maybe he believed TALKING IN CAPS MAKES PEOPLE DONATE MORE, instead of, you know, hang up-- which I briefly speculated on doing because god it was annoying and making my ears hurt. But I had already committed myself so I figured hanging up and calling again just to get a different person on the other end was silly. So I held the phone away from my ear about three inches and talked that way.
I wasn't wild about donating over the phone because I wanted some kind of documentation so that my donation could be matched by my parent's employers. But by tonight I figured time is money and even if I can't get it matched, there's no point in dawdling any longer. I certainly don't want to be like my nation's leader, thankyouverymuch.
I'm using this Hughes-on-the-phone icon because I wish my call-taker had been Hughes instead of GUY WHO TALKS IN CAPS. Hughes would have made billions for them.
