I got a phone system that has hands-free hand sets for our house. It's come in right handy--even if all I do is change diapers while on the phone with my sister.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No, you'll ask me to pick up the phone. We'll see where it goes from there.
Hmph.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmph.
You have my eyes and my mouth. Why must you take my hands as well?
Ugh. I have to write a kinda difficult e-mail that is firm but doesn't reveal my intense irritation.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm really hungry, but I'm afraid if I go get lunch, the movers will take my cube while I'm gone.

I don't need your eyes when we're on the phone. I'm always doing other stuff when I'm on the phone.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I dislike the echoey sound of the speakerphone when I'm on teh other end, and can't seem to resist the urge to raise my voice when I'm talking into one. When I want my hands free, I do the shoulder-cheek pinch on the handset or use a headset.

Yeah, I meant ears. Quite obviously, I don't have my brain.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I'm a speakerphone shouter, too. Which is unfortunate, because our chief meeting-room at work is right next to the Super Huge Boss's office, and the walls are thin. She has perfected the gesture of "shut the hell up!" which she can make through the conference-room windows.
Just got out of a meeting, in fact. Except that I didn't have to do any talking. Those are fine meetings, as long as I don't fall asleep.
Need more caffeine.

That explains so much.

I think it was excessive eye-rolling that broke it, so watch out for that, eh?
