For a Giggle

Emily, on September 11, 2020 at 6:52 AM Posted in Community Conversations 2 6

The value I bring to the WW community is lists and laughs, and with the wedding one day away I'm fresh out of lists. So I will relay an amusing anecdote from yesterday, when I stunned a call center employee into silence.

***

Got a call from an unknown # last night, which I normally wouldn't pick up. However, both my partner and I just got COVID tested on Wednesday in anticipation of the wedding. The deal with this testing is - if you are negative, they'll send a text; if you're positive, they'll give you a call.

So needless to say, I actually hung up with my partner because I was getting this unknown call and answer thinking it could be significant. Whew - it's the healthcare check-in nurse lady from our insurance doing her normal quarterly thing about wellness. She picks up that I sounded a bit tense once we get into the discussion, and my last wellness survey indicated I was having trouble with stress and sleep. (Go figure.) She asks me "so do you think you know where the stress and sleep issues are coming from?" ....

I explain what I thought this call was, that I'm in the middle of packing a car for a wedding in the middle of a pandemic and that I've been getting sleep in about 3 hour increments for the last few weeks. She's silent for a while and then goes...."got it." Smiley laugh She rescheduled to call me back in another 2 weeks, when hopefully I will be back to sleeping 7-8 hours a night lol.

Good luck out there, brides of the weekend. May your weather be clear, your hearts be light and your guests be healthy.

    LOL! I hope everything goes great! It was my first week back at work after my wedding and in stead of saying "have a good one" as my customer walked out I just yelled "HAVE ONE!" Smiley xd My poor brain is mush lol.

    I'm just waiting for this to turn up on the "Strangest calls" or some list.

    I'm glad it wasn't a positive test, sorry you're so stressed, and I hope everything goes well this weekend!

    (I'm fielding calls from realtors trying to get their hands on my 500 sq. ft. condo. I finally snapped and told one $750k cash, and maybe I'll think about it. While we live in a pricey area, it's *NOT* worth any where NEAR that much. The woman didn't hang up on me right away? Watch them actually call me back.)

    Lol sounds like you'll make a killing!
    I'm hoping the stress keeps dying down - woke up at 4, anxiety/ stomach issues for a few hours, and then I just made an amazing decision to walk to the Waffle House near the hotel. The cool air and walking alone in the early morning, combined with a plain bowl of grits will hopefully start this day off a little bit better now. ✌️
    See you on the other side, girl.
