CBC called back to follow up from our original interview about my Facebook Fast. You can hear the post-Facebook Fast clip on their web site; I'm in clip number 2, starting around the 15:50 mark.

It was a true fiasco:

1. They had me on the line moments before I was supposed to go on; I heard two loud clicks, and then they hung up on me. I suspected they had hung up, but didn't want to hang up just in case I was wrong. Worse, I had left my cell phone (backup number) at home that morning (this NEVER happens).
2. About a minute later, I hung up, and the phone rang immediately, and I was on the air.
3. Within moments of the interview starting, one of the school secretaries came on our PA system LOUDER THAN BOMBS. (In the interview, you can hear it when I mention my sister saying "You don't know anything!").
   
4. After she finished her announcement, the music (that's right, we play music instead of bells, which would shatter a child's fragile self-esteem) to end the lunch period began. It lasted through the ENTIRE INTERVIEW.
5. I spent the remaining time with my ear and mouth pressed into the phone, waiting for the music to end, said some very stupid things, and totally forgot to plug my blogs and my TV pilot.
   

CBC, in true Canadian form, sound-edited out most of the background noise, and cut out the vast majority of my stupidity, bless their hearts. (It was pre-recorded on Wednesday because one of the guests was Jewish and couldn't do an interview on Good Friday.)
