Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
my keyboard and mouse are suddenly unbearably sticky. Blahhhhh!!
Also, there IS TOO FUCKING MUCH WORK TO DO. I could maybe get it done if there were 3 more mes.
When I say, "Would you like to leave a voice mail?" I do not mean I am the voice mail service. Duh.
Say, "Do you want to be forwarded to his/her voicemail?"

I am the anti-vw, apparently. My boss is violently against voice mail, so my conversations usually go like this:
Me: He's not in right now, but would you like to leave him a message?
Caller: Oh, yes, please!
...
...
...
Me: Hello, are you still there? I'm ready?
Caller
(baffled and oddly wounded):
Oh. I thought I was going to voice mail.
Me: I
am
the voice mail.
Gworf.
(Gronk is too pointy a word for me this morning.)
vw, you rule.
Don't wanna go to work. I even have the weekend off, and getting these next two days out of the way makes me crankypants.
I have had exactly the same conversation as JZ re: voicemail so many times...
Why am I not getting up and getting coffee? Getting coffee before I've had coffee is apparently too much for me. I'm trapped in a coffeeless conundrum.

I've had that conundrum. Still have the resultant burn scars.
I took him to a tutor to help him make the big jump from whole words he had memorized and sounding things out.
Whole language learning vs. phonics has always made me nuts. I learned via phonics but my SiL who is studying elementary ed. insists that the whole language approach is best when learning to read. I've seen an funny email joke that goes around that is horribly misspelled but easy enough to read because our minds recognize the words with only the first and last letters correct--the middle parts don't mean so much.
I get that once we know the words they're easy to recognize, but does that make learning them easier? I'm torn. I love phonics--in spite of the fact that you have to learn so many exceptions to the rules.
Instead, I go to work.
I DON'T.
