I keep getting into long drawn-out discussions with people at work, too. You all are lucky I'm not going on and on here!
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why is there someone BREATHING into the phone so that we all hear it?
Someone who nodded off with their face next to the phone?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You can't just say something? He might mean to have his mute on his cell or something. God, conference calls. Especially with cell phones. What nightmares.

I remember a corporate training call where the instructions repeatedly said to mute your end until the q&a period. Mind you, there were over 100 dialed in.
OH MY GOD. It was insane. People were not muting, having full blown conversations, etc. I have no idea why they set it up that way (well, because they are dumb), nor why they didn't just hangup on those people (well, because they are dumb), instead of nagnagnagging (well, because they are dumb) someone who probably had the volume turned all the way down anyway.
So lame.

Vortex, that drives me batshit when people do that. WTF? Even if you don't think it's you, wouldn't you get paranoid and check? I sure do.

I was on one recently where the trainer told everyone they could mute by hitting 6 or whatever, so half the call was the sound of people hitting 6. Argh!

I don't really know how -- hey, whoever is breathing into the phone, please stop? If they knew that they were doing it, wouldn't they not?

I decided that the best way to cope with my afternoon was to listen to my Pirates playlist the rest of the work day. And now I'm going to be breaking into Barrett's Privateers at random the rest of this week.
