Young Hot and Sexy Charitible Giving

Wouldn't it be nice if other's treated you as well as pandora. I was playing ambient music while I was working online and suddenly heard music that pulled me out of my work and I couldn't concentrate.

I clicked on the thumbs down button and got a polite message that said, "We're sorry about that. You will never have to hear that song again."

Wow! Thanks I thought. What if more companies were as user friendly and considerate of my personal preference. What if there was a phone app on your land line that you could click during a charity solicitation call. "We're the Young and Sexy Fire Fighers. Make America Bootyful fund. Our Credit may suck but our buns are hot!" You immediately go to their website and see these fire fighters look good in their new uniforms. You click the thumbs up and soon you are getting calls from Young, Hot and Sexy Police Officers, Young Hot and Sexy Nurses.

"Give to the Young Hot and Sexy Programmers fund" my husband says coding across the room as he suductively lifts his pant leg above his ankle.

Can't answer any calls right now. Got to go!

Who gets a thumbs up on your calls wanted list?


For people who also want a phone app to screen solicitations :-)

Elevator Speech

As we were walking towards the elevator at the end of a business networking event I was about to get on the elevator. A guy I coincidentally bumped into on the ride up now made his way across the room to leave became friendly and started telling me what he did. I decided to return the favor and give him my elevator speech.

As we were getting on the elevator, he looked at his watch and reminded me, "You know, this building only has three floors."

"We'll in that cases," I said jokingly, "let's take the stairs and I can let you know about my business at your own pace."

We get to the staircase and he starts to sprint out of sight!

Do you have your 30 second elevator speech ready to go?
