I told a salesperson on the phone last week. "He will never take this call, you will always speak with me."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I asked my generally awesome minion to try to figure out this complex thing over the course of today. And yet? She is asking me every question as it comes up. Try to figure it out! And then I'll check it over! Ah well.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Maybe I need to put it in cat macro format.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I hate it when people, when given an answer that they don't want to hear, ask the same question over again, as if it will be different the next time. Hate it. Hate. Hate. Hate. Drives me batshit.

I hate worse when they just go to someone else witht the same question.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We have clients like that - when one salesperson gives them an answer they don't like (such as "yes, you WILL have to pay for those"), they call EVERY extension in our department one by one. Fortunately, we have an open-plan office and caller ID, making shouts of "Don't pick up, it's the crazy guy!" a fairly common occurrence.

Has kids. It impresses the heck out of DH how I can say NO so many times repeatedly without changing expression or tone. Occasionally I will say, "asked and answered," for variety.
I had to google Uggs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Surely there are boots as warm as Uggs that are less ugly?
And living in LA we get the Uggs and miniskirts (no tights) combo a whole lot.
I hate worse when they just go to someone else witht the same question.
I hate that, especially when they go to the boss who caves. Grr.

It was 1 below this morning, and there was frost on the inside of my windshield. And it's cold at my office, or at least my legs are cold. Brrrr...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have a space heater at work. Today I moved it to be closer to my feet. I ended up plugging it into a different circuit, and as a result a circuit breaker popped, knocking all our workstations out.
At least one of my bosses anticipated this (he already had a space heater on that circuit), so we saved all our stuff before I turned it on.
I've now got the space heater back on the old circuit.
