John has a nice noggin!

.

John Travolta, from the set of his new (2009) movie, From Paris with Love. This says he shaved his head, that's not a skull cap or whatever it's called. Kinda hot, right?

I spoke with a woman on the phone yesterday who is definitely out of the running for Employee of the Month. I called her about some past due invoices and asked for her email address so I could email her a statement. She refused, saying, "I get so much email that if I start doing that, I'll never get my real work done, so please call me instead."

Alrighty then.

So then I got to cool my heels while she first finished an email she was in the middle of when I called, followed by the dance I hate: I read her numbers over the phone while she shuffled through papers, looked things up, repeated numbers back to me, blah, blah, blah. It's so inefficient.

Did I mention she's a government employee? (No offense to efficient government employees. That can't be an oxymoron, can it?)

"Don't send it via email?" I have a client who once asked me if I get paid by the email. I wish!

And what would you have done before email? snail mail?

Bonnie - before email was faxing. I remember in the late 70s using a Telex machine but that was just for typed messages, not sending documents.

I do still have a number of customers who, when I offer to email them a copy of an invoice, ask me to fax it instead.

It's not so much the customer is always right - but I do what the customer prefers, no matter how much it pains me. (I can fax from my PC, so at least it's easy on my end.)

Hey, watch your tone there young lady, I like to think that I was an efficient government employee, so no lumping together okay?
In my opinion, people who don't read their email should not be allowed to have it!
I have noticed Travolta's receding hairline lately but that is ridiculous. I didn't even recognize him.

Mom - you were a govt employee?? But you seem so normal. :-)

Other photos I found of John Travolta said he wears a wig - some photos had the mesh part showing. Maybe he'll keep it like this now, ala Bruce Willis.

I'm a government employee, but I try to avoid contact with the patrons who frequent the library. Enough said.

John Travolta never did it for me. I think his role on Welcome Back Kotter ruined him for me. Bleh.

In "Christine," I think it was, a character referred to John Travolta as "John Revolting." But I dig the guy. Bless his pointed little head. I loved it in "Look Who's Talking" when he had the baby at the airport and said, "We don't know who the mother is."

Hey, I'm a (mostly) efficient government employee. And PLEASE email me. I hate the damn phone. It's nothing but an interruption to me! I can handle your email when I want to, after I'm done commenting on Stefani's blog!
