I'm fine once I get on them (although I can get dizzy looking down long steep ones, like the one at the San Diego ballpark--I still get vertigo from remembering that one!), it's just the getting on them part that gives me palpitations.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

Oh, ha ha ha.

A customer just went over my head claiming I denied her access and made her jump through hoops, when all I told her was that she needed to login and hit submit.
I love people, really.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That's just beautiful. What did the over-your-head person say, after s/he stopped rolling on the floor crying with laughter?

I left a voicemail with her and then called the customer (wow, was she not a pleasant person), and now I'm waiting for my supervisor to get back from lunch so we can craft an appropriate, uh, "response" to reassure all parties cc:ed that everything is hunky dory.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just called my cell voicemail and got one half of a phone conversation. And not one half of a recorded phone conversation--I never got my voicemail prompts at all. Just listening to this woman talk about a job she didn't want while kids wail in the background. I'm kinda scared to try again.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Do they still have the ancient wooden escalators in Boston?
Macy's in NYC has those! Most of the upper floors have been upgraded, but there are still one or two ancient creaky ones leading to the Cellar and the food court.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, I feel so bad for a coworker right now -- earlier this week, her cousin's 18 year old son died in a snowboarding accident, and now her grandmother died last night! So sad for that family. Granted, the grandmother must have been pretty old, because my coworker's around 50, but still. A bad week.
