Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Punishingly Intricate

I hit "reply" thinking I am replying to my colleague, and instead I replied to the salesperson. An email in which I say I feel irritated and bombarded by the salesperson, and for my colleague not to reply to the salesperson; to leave it to me.

Possibly it was a good thing for the irritating salesperson to see this?

That which does not kill you should RUN

This is me when I order the kids grilled cheese at Panera.

Did you know they have macaroni & cheese now? Soooooo good.

So, if sex rehab is sitting around not having sex, then I'm in sex rehab RIGHT NOW!

Me, too, AInFG!

Of course, I plan to NOT be in rehab by tonight.

CJ loves it. I haven't tried it. I usually go for the Fuji Apple Salad. Oh and their French Onion soup. I think I just talked myself into Panera for dinner. We will be at the dojo next door anyway.

Our wings are not tired.

I immediately wrote to salesperson:

I stand by this even as I intended to write to [colleague]and not you.

I am feeling a little overwhelmed by the emails and phone calls and texts right now as I focus my attention on fully evaluating EDMS systems. I am the lead on the project, and it was unnecessary for you to contact [colleague] when I didn’t return your voicemail as quickly as you wanted (I was in the middle of a session when you called).

I have a minefield to work through at work with senior management, and [colleague] is not the right conduit for communication with senior management, I can assure you.

However, I'm sorry you saw my grumpy email.

He wrote back extremely apologetic and we've worked it out. But whoooo boy what a little panic I had. Until I realized he's the salesperson, not me. He's the one who should worry. That it made it easier to deal with.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well done, Javachick.

Exactly, javachik. It's unfortunate, but he should know that his tactics might cost him a sale in the future, even if they don't cost him THIS sale.

Someday I may have to have a can of Spaghettios w/ Franks.

The franks are disappointing. I may need to invest in some good hot dogs and create my own variant.
