Wt: 155.4. Apparently I survived the Thursday and Friday luncheons, the Friday dinner, and yesterday’s Wings game unscathed. Now let’s see what the headcold does for me.
BvP and I just bought tickets to see the Body Worlds exhibit at the Franklin Institute. After being charged $1.00 for the privilege of printing our tickets at home, I received an email that begins with the following:
Dear Kimberly Turberville,
How you doin’? Thank you for your ticket purchase. For future reference, your order confirmation number is …
How you doin’? What the heck kind of business transactional greeting is that? I understand that the “How you doin'” campaign is used at the Wachovia Center (and other stadiums operated by Global Spectrum) as a customer service tool…but 1) The Franklin Institute is supposed to be better than that and 2) I think there’s a limit to informality, especially after one coughs up $50 in order to see dead plasticinized bodies.
I’m still jonesing to do something today, so I may take a jaunt to the National Constitution Center
to see the Ben Franklin exhibit. It’s only a quick train-trip away.
(that thumping sound you heard was BvP hurling himself down the basement steps, in hopes that broken bones will prevent me from taking him to the NCC)
Is that – “How you doin?” or… “How YOU doin…?”
I wish you could take pictures at the exhibit because I want to go very badly but I almost without the extra $100 for tickets and everything else it takes to march myself to the nearest exhibit. I’m sure it’s going to be fascinating.
Hey Kim,
My daughter performed at the Wings half-time, she attened the Wings Angels dance clinic. You probably didn’t recognize her since I think the last time you saw her she was 6, she just turned 13.
We’re back!!! Did you miss us? 😉
