I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

I can't forward to the fax.

Frankly, I wouldn't anyway, because it would mean their fax would go through, and I would be way too petty to let that happen through any of my doing. Though I do like the dial back idea.

Now tagless for your comfort.

DJ, when we first moved to Ohio, our new phone number was actually the old fax number of a large chemical company near us. We started getting fax calls at 3 a.m. and it went on for MONTHS. When I called the phone company to ask what to do, they told us to change our number--not that that would help the next poor schmuck that got assigned that telephone number.

I ended up calling the company and they loaned me a fax so that I could get the faxes and call the companies who were still using that number.

It was a HUGE pain in the ass but I became obsessed with straightening out the assheads who were still using my number as a fax.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Let's see if I can sneak out of the building without anyone noticing...

HEY, KRISTIN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LEAVING EARLY? ARE YA, HUH? LEAVING?

...

WHY ARE YOU HOLDING UP THAT FINGER?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

People are really trying to ruin the last few hours of my day.

Dear lady:

If you call 6 times a day for someone, and each time say, "Oh, I can never remember her name!" How bout when we figure out who in the hell you are talking about YOU WRITE IT THE FUCK DOWN!

Signed,
Sick of playing "guessing game" with your ass.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Saddam Hussein's yacht is for sale....

"And because the former dictator had reason to be paranoid, the boat has bulletproof glass, closed-circuit television, storage space for a large cache of weapons, including heavy machine guns and surface-to-air missiles, and a secret passage that runs the length of the boat for easy access to a fast patrol boat and a mini-submarine pod for emergency exits."

$34 million. We can come up with that, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's just...who does that!?! (I mean fax over and over, not your thing).

What they did was put their fax on the machine, dial the wrong number, and walk away. I'm sure it's the fax machine redailing. Sorry.

Someone just called me saying, "So is it pretty quiet over there?" IT MIGHT BE FOR SOME PEOPLE. I AM GOING BONKERS!!!

However, I did get a birthday card and cookies from my coworkers, since we're closed on my actual bday. So that's nice.

Gad, I hate it when people ask me if I'm busy or if we're slow. Things are never slow for me! SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET OFF MY PHONE!

-I may also have a touch of the PMS.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am also going boinkers. I've answered two pages today! I only put batteries in the thing Friday. I hope no one was looking for me before.
