La La La...

My new work computer program crashed about 20 minutes ago and no one on the Help Desk seems to know what to do to restore it. So I'm just sittin' here, twiddling my thumbs and unable to keep budgeting the paper...guess I won't be pitching much of anything in the morning conference call!

Oh yeah, Aida started calling again. She hasn't called in like two years, but suddenly I got two VMs from her yesterday. Here's how they went:

(VM 1)
Ms. Santos? Congratulations, you are finally on tip top, with journilades de veritas, uh, college paper and UST, the (unintelligible) paper, that's the paper. Ms. Santos, this is Aida, daily extra extra and review. Today's paper was safely delivered and anchored, all in unison with HD. And so congratulations again, and uh, as far as the ballroom goes, uh, here in Castro Valley, well, what can you say, I am there with a day spa -- anytime you are ready, I am ready. And, uh, as they say, they had a performance last weekend, well, what can you say. Here in my paradise...Eden Valley paradise garden...PARADISE...my garden is regained. Remember that's way back in 1946, OK? The forum, OK? This is, again, you're up to date, you're on tip top...I'm happy for you. As far as Newsom in San Francisco, well the better of the sex are we, aren't we? Unisex? So, Ms. Santos, or should I say Kim? Congratulations again, you made it up there. Veritas! Ponce de Manila, OK? Bye.

(VM 2)
Holy holy holy God, Heaven and Earth are filled with your glory, Hosanna in the highest. Santos santos santos, holy holy holy. This is Aida, daily extra extra and review. And, uh, as far as Dennis, well I guess what can you say? Uh, he's not alone in signing off, there was a man on board, he was a co-anchor, maybe that was before you were born. Huh? This is the truth. Signing off now, and uh, again, rugel rugel, as they say, in the forum it was noted that they will be presenting last weekend, well again, that was before you were born, 1946, again I repeat. Paradise, here in Eden Valley, paradise lost, paradise regained. I have a weekend to gain (laughs) ... much to gain because I have a weekend for six days, six unisex...unisex...way before you were born. More power to it, more power to it, huh? Flora Santos. Ms. Santos. (laughs) Um, veritas, again, I repeat...it's really, the whole delivery was really good, OK? We are subscribers for three or four newspapers and that's enough for us all around. Plus we have all the facilities here (unintelligible), well, what can you say? Should all acquaintance (lapses into Spanish for a few sentences), well what can you say? Governor Arnold has found different resources to support his economical thing, you got to... (message cuts off)
