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

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

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?"

NASA has a Stargate

Ha! Did you follow the links? [link]

Go by yourself!

And wear a Blackhawks jersey.

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.

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

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!

And I'm guessing it won't be the ones who made this decision who will have to call and reschedule people. Some of whom probably made the appointment for that day because they have off.

Nothing says "Spirit of Christmas" more than forcing beluga whales to wear Santa hats.

OK, they may be wearing the hats by choice....
