This looks terribly impractical, but I kind of want to take a road trip just as an excuse to buy one.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Going back a way, about coffee makers - a friend (a VERY good friend) send me this for Christmas. It is soooo much fun! but a PITA to clean up.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I have been stuck in editing HELL. client supplied text for THEIR book, I have to send back with our comments (in a nice way).
Text that consultant 1 wrote for us that CEO doesn't like has to go back and then get re-reviewed, but no one is sure how to fix it and we need to get it to client today for approval.
Text that consultant #2 wrote for us that is just weak and that I need to re-work because we have stopped working with consultant #2.
All different topics.
Need engaging, but not salesy. Writing that covers a topic but doesn;t get too specific so as to exclude people.
I HATE WRITING.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I HATE WRITING.
Aw.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok, back me up on this.
When you call someone's office, is the first thing you say, "To whom am I speaking?" Or do you actually say, "Hello, this is ______ from ______, and this is my issue." ?
Isn't just asking "Who is this" rude? Cause my first response was just almost, "You called me. Who the fuck is THIS?"

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
It's totally rude. I do always answer the phone by saying my name though, and it irks me when people don't.

Depends on how long I've spend trying to get person X on the phone.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
generally I state my name and then who or what I am looking for
if I answer the phone as a business, I ID myself. If I answer my private phone (s) all you get is hello, until I know who i am talking to
