Can I get some pup-ma? my dog seems to have had an accident and is limping a bit again. She's also a drama queen, but I thought she'd be better by now. She seems to be doing most of her things, though.(eating, woofing, following us around)
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

[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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Things I Hate About Customer Service:
FuckCake O' the Day: Hi this is FCO'tD. Is So and So in?
Me: Let me see if they're available.
(No, they're not.)
Me: Sorry, FCO'tD, So and So is not at their desk. Would you like their voicemail?
FCO'tD: I already left them a message.
Me: ...
FCO'tD: ...
...AND? So, what am I supposed to do about that? So and So is not fucking available, shit-for-brains, the fact that you, in the past, left a message and your call was not returned means a) So and So does not want to speak with you at this moment or thinks you're as important to his day-to-day as sloth snot and/or b) So and So has just not gotten around to you yet. Either way, I have no option c) for you. Hang the fuck up and deal with your shitty life or leave another goddamn message, either way get the fuck off my phone you cocksucker!
Sorry. That never fails to just aggravate the shit out of me.

I know! When I was a receptionist, that drove me batty. I would wait an obligatory two seconds and say "okay then, have a good day!"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

When Pua limps she's usually got a burr stuck in her paw.

Our wings are not tired.
Thank you, javachik. I'm trying to be respectful. I'm the most diplomatic of the bunch. My oldest sister will likely fly down in full battle mode if I can't persuade them gently.

He and your mom are so very lucky to have you. The options you and your sibs are providing are exceptional.

It was by no means disrespectful, I think that an already defensive person might take it the wrong way. I tend to be overly cautious in email, since an offhand joking "fuck you" caused a huge schism amongst my friends.

Letter will likely get chopped up a lot before I send it. We have time. We are already forcing them to stay until after June 1st when their grandson graduates HS.
Hee, sorry that your FCO'tDs make me chuckle so.

So do not miss this. Even as ridiculous as our client can be sometimes (like wanting us to get new seating arrangements so that he could call any one of us to find out where someone else was and why they weren't answering), he never has pulled the "I just left a message" with the expectant pause.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I would wait an obligatory two seconds and say "okay then, have a good day!"
When I'm working reception I usually say something like "If I see them I'll be sure and let them know you called."
It's not true, but it generally shuts them up.
