[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.
Seriously the doctor just called to remind my office that he "is the busiest man in his profession" in case we forgot how very important he is. I may have to get another cup of coffee before I can properly address his problem. Which requires transferring a couple GB of data from his server since he hosed his machine. Think I should abort the file transfer and start over to see if it can go quicker?
I really do try and fix stuff as quickly as possible but not all is under my control.
I wonder if the office could tell the very busy doctor that the laws of physics don't know how busy he is, the processes to repair his screw up are done by machines, and can't be done faster than the machine is physically able to operate. Not as smart ass as he deserves, but maybe simple enough that even an arrogant idiot can understand it.
Yeah, he is not so much with the listening and being reasonable. Shockingly, he is also the type to be obnoxious to the other office staff then be all sweet when he gets me on the phone. I am working from home. grumble
oh Laura, I know that particular pain. I'm in DC ... where one of the favorite decorating elements seems to be pompous grass.
Laura, tell him if he keeps hitting the Enter key on his computer it will go faster.
I just made it rain by spraying Roundup. For my next tricks, I will water and leave my umbrella in the car. It's an absolute frog-strangler out there, too, and graphically illustrating my drainage problems.
I'm loading software onto a Windows 7 machine while working on an XP machine. It's kind of like rubbing your tummy while patting your head.
Do keyboards have Del keys anymore? Totally tell him it's for Deliver.
Dear Dr. Air O'Gant,
We have two speeds; if you don't like this one, you ain't gonna like the other. So shut your cakehole.
No love, us
Dear Dr. Air O'Gant
K in the office will use this rename.
Thanks all, I suspected you had dealt with him before.
Happy birthday, Ellie!
Pete's other way of dealing with me when I am sickly: surprising me with movies and books. I now have the new Wolfman movie on Blu-Ray, and the Neil Gaiman & Charles Vess book Instructions.
Matt, much ~ma for your father.
Jilli, that's a... yeah, really sweet.
