i was trying to place an order at gymboree online for some things for BC and the baby-to-be, and i ended up caught in an endless loop. hence, i had to call up and place the order the old fashioned way. i ended up talking with a gentleman from france. after placing the order, we ended up talking about travelling to the DC metro area, his life in california, how he lived in japan before this, and my feeble attempts to speak french when i visited paris a few years ago. what a lovely gentleman.

only i could end up chatting away with a customer service guy. but he was so nice and helpful, and you know, its like nearly 5am in CA where he is finishing up his shift on the phone. i bet he probably hoped for someone to wake him up so he could remember to go home.

night shifts suck.
