They invaded my privacy, darn it

I really shouldn't be journaling right now, but here I am.

I just got a weird phone call. I didn't recognize the number so I thought it might be Josh trying to call me again from his VoIP number -- sorry I missed the first try! -- but I answered it and it was clearly one of those call center people. My brain immediately flashed to this imaginary room in Indiana where they have all the people calling everyone that is accepted into their programs . . .

But it was, in fact, GoDaddy.com calling to "confirm" everything. What they intended to do is sell me on their web hosting packages and their privacy protection gimmick. Should I protect my privacy? It sounds like a gimmick, but I dunno. It's also $119.25 to protect myself for the five years I registered for, so it's kind of a big deal.

I really need to get back to studying. I'm wayyy behind in my work for the last week and a half, and having that two-day headache didn't help things along.
