Monday monday
can't trust that day
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Can I mention how much I hate the automated voices on customer service lines, that try to figure out what you want? HATE HATE HATE.
Especially when I answer the questions, it seems to understand that I want to cancel my service/because I"m moving/to Washington State (three separate answers)...so it then transfers me to a real person who...handles installation in California?? WTF?

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

Those drive me crazy. Worst are the ones that try to sound like "normal" human speech. Dude, I know you're a recording. Adding "Okay" to the beginning of every sentence? Not fooling anyone!

I just keep pressing "0" until I talk to a person. I refuse to interact with them at all.

The Okay drives me batshit! "Okay, so you want to travel eastbound!"

not your mom's socks.
Also, is today a particularly Mondayish Monday for anyone else?
oh lord yes.
I just sent an email asking the woman who works with me to not leave me at the end of a long whisper-down-the-lane session trying to cobble together a plan for what's needed. She hasn't been there long enough to know when to get me on the phone, when to set up a meeting, or whatever, and she is just trying to take things in hand and ends up promising Stuff to People that I then feel like I need to do, even if it's not logical. It doesn't help that I'm now in a different city, of course.
My fault - I'm not there (I've been working offsite for a all 8 years I've worked fulltime here); and one of my bosses, who in most cases I adore, is an out of site out of mind person, when she's under stress. Plus, she makes suggestions for development that are - in her mind - most expedient, but may be either most difficult or completely in opposition to the architecture.
This in addition to the awful-software from earlier. Headdesk. headdesk. headdesk. I'm chewing Tums. I hope I don't kill the thread.

Gah, finally got through with Verizon. Now to do it again with Pepco. Gawd. No, if I am cancelling electric service on October 1st, I can't arrange a meter reading on October 12th! Gah. And I live in an apartment building. I have no earthly idea where the meters are. And I can't go read them myself. And I SO dont' trust you to just "guess" what the meter reading is, and charge me that way. BOO.
