And, hey! Now you have the perfect way to open the phone call:
"So, [boss]. You know how yesterday, you said not to call unless somebody dies? Guess what?"
Nothing worse than a monster who thinks he's right with God.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Actually, I had totally forgotten about that. He was the one who brought it up. It was a patient on a trial, and I had to call him to ask how to do the spontaneous reporting, since no one else from safety was here. And then he noted his prescient joke.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Damn, P-C. I'm sorry.

Oh, there's nothing to be sorry about. It's just work. It's kind of funny, in an "I don't know the patient or their family" way.
I just hope this isn't some curse of his, and every time he says, "Only call me if someone dies," someone dies. That could be disconcerting.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That's too bad, P-C.
I made the mistake of having a glass of wine before dinner was ready. Drunk now. Good thing I'm not the one cooking tonight.

Just tell him from now on, his parting line is, "Don't call unless someone wins the lottery."
Might as well use his new superpower for good.

Heh. "I wish I had a million dollars!"

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
that's just odd ,P-C. Everytime Matt and I 'discussed' his devotion to his work phone, my comment was 'what would they do if you were hit by a bus'? Then one of his co-workers was ( not fatally) . I stopped saying that.
My cat is starving, he is telling me, so I thought I'd share
