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

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!

Earlier today I got the "I was talking to somebody but I don't remember her name" followed by the expectant pause.

Actually, I think it was the same twatbiscuit who didn't like my answer to her question.

What kills me is the expectant pause. "I don't remember who I was talking to..."

Me: "That's okay. I remember."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Thanks, ita. Just emailed Colin.

Exactly!

They've been calling you for one specific thing while you've been fielding phone calls for everybody about everything your company does (or sometimes doesn't do), but you should keep up with who they are calling for.

It's even better when I haven't actually been the one to field that particular phone call and have, in fact, never spoken to the caller before. Then it's more like:

Dumbfuckery Walkin': "I don't remember who I was talking to."

Me: "That's okay. I have mystic sight. Let me divine the past and then transfer you."

I actually had one woman (at an older job) ask "Well, don't you have computers?"

"Yes, yes we do. I was just playing FreeCell on one. Aren't they great?"

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

Where are my cables???? I need my USB cables for my phone and my...oh, something else. I know I used to have them. Probably threw them away when tidying. Tidying is bad.

One more meeting and then I nap and then my sister comes in and then I go to the ER. I can't WAIT.

I will be laughing about this all evening.

IOCraxyWorkN: I have just been informed that I will be off Wednesday after Christmas and early on Christmas Eve. Which, ok yay time off but..

1. WTF? Why not have the day off Christmas Eve and come in late Wednesday? That would at least mean I'd get to spend Christmas with my, you know, family.

2. I kinda need to know when I'm going to be off for the holidays so I can make holiday plans.

3. Related to #2. They were going to keep it a secret until Friday! We have clients all scheduled for those days and shit!
