I think my chili-with-Fritos ended up being more Fritos than chili. But I am okay with that, today.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Arrrggggg. Yes, I called Xcel Energy to set-up my account for next Friday. Yes, they have connections with other services that might be of interest. No, I'm not interested in hearing all the options. Oh, you want to have a security company call me with their offer - I guess but after I move, ok? 10 minutes later - security company calls. Yes, I might be interested, but I'm not able to review the options or schedule an appointment, if you want to call back in two weeks, that is fine. No, I don't want to hear more. Listen, I have said I'm willing to talk in two weeks, if you can't manage that and SHUT UP NOW, then remove my name.
Shhhhheeeessshhhhh.

But if you talk to someone in 2 weeks, someone else will get the commission, and they've already sold their soul to get this job so they MUST GET YOUR MONEY NOW!!!
I feel sorry for the people who do that work, but I remember that they chose to do that job--probably. There may be indentured call center employees. It wouldn't surprise me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In Celebrity Height news, I put Nick Lachey at about 5'8", and Vannessa Minnillo Lachey at not much less. (They were just here at my work with their baby, whom I rate as Cute Baby Cheeks.)
Fun!

I know Connie and I tried to stay polite as long as possible - but the harder he pushed the less polite my brain became. Luckily I was able to minimize how much came out of my mouth.

You were far more patient than I would be.

I have taken to unceremoniously hanging up on people who call to sell me something ask me for money. If they give me a chance to respond I will say no or I'm not interested or whatever, but it seems like they all have scripts that do not allow for any response whatsoever for longer than I am willing to listen them, so I just hang up.
I guess if I'd agreed to have someone call me I wouldn't do that, but if I'd said "call me in two weeks" and they didn't wait, I would not be patient about getting off the phone. "I can't talk now, call me in two weeks" and click.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, me too when they don't shut up.
I figure it's not being rude to hang up on them because that'll just stop them from wasting more time with me. So hanging up on them could result in more sales for them.
See, I hang up on them with love.

That's what my sister said when I mentioned it to her. More efficient for them.
