Volunteers wanted for 2012 Olympics

Just a quick post before I go and sign up as a volunteer for the 2012 Olympics in London. I'm worried I won't get any tickets to events as they will be oversubscribed so am going to sign up as a volunteer so at least I can see things that way.

Annoying Call Center
A woman from a call center in India calls us almost every evening. Last night we were watching an Indian comedy on the TV (it has English subtitles) so my husband must have stunned this woman in Bangalore when he said, "Sorry, I don't have time to talk; I'm watching Sasural Ghenda Phool."



My son is threatening to sing the theme song to the woman the next time she calls. It's very annoying -- "Hoy, hoy, hoy....sasural ghenda phool" and on and on.

Shingles
Still taking five antiviral tablets a day and my shingles rash is itchy and starting to be painful. I can't take sick time though because I'm not really ill, and I'd just hang around the house itching.

The antivirals seem to have affected my mind though -- I can't remember anything. At my age, that is VERY welcome.
