Eh, maybe she just wants to be able to tell her superiors, "Look, I called 35 people at that company and I just couldn't get through to the right guy," thus covering her ass for being unable to sell y'all panda-shaped ceramic sliderule holders. Granted, being obnoxious while doing it was probably not her best approach.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If she'd just said that, I totally know who'd buy those by the gross.
Asking for my name? Certainly not helping any cause.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm looking for panda-shaped ceramic sliderule cozies. I'd have to look at the panda-shaped ceramic sliderule holders to see if they'd be adequate.

frozen chopped spinach aka Best Convenience Ingredient EVAR
You know, I have used this in lasagna, but I cannot for the life of me come up with any other use for it.
This is a sign of my massive culinary ignorance, isn't it? And the dearth of quiches in my life. I also don't like chopped spinach (by itself) nearly as much as whole spinach leaves, because of the mush factor.

Do people use the word 'stolid' these days? I had never even heard about it until a few days ago.
I am sometimes stolid.
