I wish you the ADORABLE APOCALYPSE

[Cooper]

Since my boss got voice messages to show up on our email too, he stopped listening to them on the phone, but because the blinking light bothers me, I clear them off. This is when I found out how long our voicebox lets messages be: eternally long.

Message 1:

7:04 PM

SCW: Hi this is SCW, my husband was on the jetskii you just fixed, and he said it broke down in the middle of Lake 1, so if you could call me back so we could bring that in, it would be great. I'm at [number.] Call me so I can tell him, because he'll be at work tomorrow.

Ok, fine. Fair enough, valid concern mortal.

message 2

8:30 PM

SCH: Hi, this is [husband from first message.] The jetskii was running great. I got all the way to lake 4! I went to visit my mother-in-laws for a while, then went to the launch, and somebody was loading there so I decided to go to the other launch, then I decided to do some 360s and after like, the third one it died. It acted like it wanted to work but it didn't, so I had somebody tow me in, and decided to call you. (I tuned out at this point, but the message was at least double this.)

Ok, here's all I needed to know:

Boat no work. Me [name] at [number.]

Not your life story.

call 1

SCH was called before I got to work to be told it was probably the battery.

Call 2

SCH was called after new battery was installed to be informed it wasn't the battery.

Call 3

SCW calls us, gets me.

SCW: Hi I'm SCW, wife of SCH, and our jetskii died yesterday. I don't know if you got our message-

I did, BOTH of them.

SCW: but our jetskii died yesterday and somebody called my husband and said it was the battery and then it wasn't the battery? but then they haven't called so I was wondering if you knew what was wrong with it. Are you open until 8 today?

Oh, I get to talk now?

Me: Good question, really. I know we're open until 6 for sure.

SCW: Alright I was just wondering if my jetskii would get done today because I really want it and we need to know how much it costs and should I just call back?

Me: ...yes.

SCW: I'll do that.

Call 4

SCW: Hi my name is SCW and I'm SCH's wife. I was calling to see if there were any updates on our jetskii because we really would like to know how much it is to see if we have that much in our bank account and it crashed yesterday and [blablabla]

Wait a second. Didn't we just have this conversation 20 MINUTES ago?

SCW: And could you call me when it's done?

Me: Yes. We'll call you when we find out what's wrong with it.

SCW: Bye!

(Hangs up phone)

Me: I wish your face would get eaten off by KITTENS.

20 bucks says I get another call before the day is over. >_<

At this point, my father would put the mower at the very back of the repair line for that day. If the person called 5 more times, he'd put it at the very back of the entire line of mowers that need repair.

*sigh* It's like they don't get that calling every 20 minutes only slows down getting their things repaired.

Basically, Dalsys.

This is what I imagine the Adorable Apocalypse to look like.
