1. The nurse lady Husband plucked from a cruise ship along with her patient. She is a retired elementary school principal from Illinois who was on week one of her first two week assignment as a nurse on the S.S 'God's Waiting Room' when she got stranded in downtown Comox. She owns a monkey and thinks maybe nursing isn't for her.
2. A seven year old boy who knows everything there is to know about cows including how to breed them, raise them, sell them and serve them with BBq sauce. He was not pleased by the lack of cows on Vancouver Island and hopes his family moves back to a 'real province' soon.
3. Huresh the telemarketer who was selling cable bundles and who called while I was stuck for a word. He helped me out ('heuristic') and we chatted about surfing and the weather on the West coast v.s. the East. He is working his way through university to become a kinesiologist. I didn't buy cable. He was okay with that.
4. The Flute Guy, who I have seen about town for the past few months but have never spoken to. The other day he wandered in to the front lobby of the building in which I work and asked for a cup of coffee and directions to the closest washroom. He carries a flute but only plays on sunny days and likes his coffee triple sweet.
My favourite part of any day is always the story I come home with. These folks were kind enough to share part of theirs with me.
OMG I always talk to telemarketers and anyone I have to call for help. My favorite is the guys who work for dell. They are over in India and other exotic places where it is always "tits hot" ???
ReplyDeleteAnyways they are my favorite. This blog entry made me happy.
