Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I just started work. Poopy.
AND I'm on DayQuil cuz the STOOOOPID COLD I thought I'd killed last weekend came back Thursday morning with a 2x4 to the forehead (mmm, sinus pressure we wuuuuvs you).
Answering phones while effectively stoned is funny.
And I pulled an oops yesterday. I got "surplused" - the phones got quiet, so they started letting people go early. I got surplused at 6:35, but got stopped by one of the trainers to discuss my decision to leave. I clocked out at 6:49 - 13 minutes of "Rep Signed Off", which is a really bad thing. Fortunately, I'm a short-timer, and all they can do is glare really evilly, cuz if they get cranky, I walk home and leave them shorthanded all next week.
I'm a contractor, not an employee, and I've already given my notice. I'll try not to screw up, but a balance must be maintained between "following procedure" and "attempting to punish someone who doesn't care anymore".
(Wow. DayQuil 0wnz me today.)

What sort of phone work are you doing, SH? I've done Microsoft tech support, cable company billing support (ie, hell on earth), and U.S. Postal Service help desk (which is surely against the Geneva Conventions during Christmas time).
I know your joy at knowing you're escaping from the phones.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That search spoof is clever. I like that.

My only other April Fools joke was telling the kids the cable got shut off, because we couldn't pay the bill. They bought it for a few minutes.

I did briefly consider doing a "Minear Returns to his Buffy Roots" with a thing about him doing a BtVS movie. But it wasn't thrilling me.
I would have much rathered move him a little closer to the earth for the day.

I'm in the call center for Nintendo of America. Strangely, I haven't gotten a single spoof phone call. (That's not an invitation, BTW :)
But stupid Electronic Gaming Magazine published an April Fool's joke ad "from Nintendo" about a game that doesn't exist, and we've been fielding calls about that for over a month. Yay EGM, stabbity stab stab.
Anyway: Gameboy tech support while buzzed on Dayquil is amusing. I have to concentrate really really hard and not doze off drooling on my keyboard.
