Abject Chaos

[smileyeagle1021]

*coughcough* Other than that, another glorious week of pain. We've had a few people calling in from our airport on 911 cuz "dem dere plainz not werkin!"

So I know how it is...

no, no you really don't

I had to deal with 40, yes 40 stranded passengers during my shift... that's on top of the normal people checking in thinking they are actually going to be flying out tomorrow
And I had to do that by myself... just me frantically checking people in and the shuttle driver.
and GK, if you work for one of the companies that sells our hotels I will attempt to not hate you... for long

Stop with the jokes. None of you are remotely original and certainly not funny. We poor operators can only force a fake laugh so much.

Maybe you could convince your employer to invest in the laugh track from the Brady Bunch. You know the one I'm talking about... hoohoohaha! Seriously, who laughs like that?

Truly we are on the verge of an ice age and must begin stockpiling fur & berries and sharpening broom handles into spears for the inevitable woolly mammoth hunting that will surely become our main source of food and clothing by January.

Well, we are if we play the new content in WoW, sort of!

SC: “Do you think there might be a monster back there?”
ME: “Haha, probably not, no.”
SC: “No, seriously.”
Me: “……no. No there isn’t.”

I called my older sister at work once with a claim very similar to this. Only, I thought it was rats in my dresser, and my excuse was that I was nine years old, home alone and delusional with a 103 degree temperature while my mother was getting my medicine, and experiencing my first earthquake in a state that doesn't get earthquakes. What's her excuse?

I gotta be honest with you GK.

Your missing bus?

They drove ALL THE WAY TO OTTAWA, and now the bus driver is out there showing MORAL SUPPORT for OUR bus drivers.

Yes.

Because he wants to be able to choose his own hours as well, plus get a 3% pay raise PER YEAR.

Yes, so your bus driver felt bad for Ottawa's bus drivers.

I think he's still driving, though. Maybe by the time he gets here the strike will have STOPPED.

more.. MORE DAMN YOU!!

You've made a junkie of me with your tales of graveyard suckage.. Don't hold back. It's therapy you know, and we don't even charge you the requisite $300/hr.

Cop: “He said his lawyer was <name>."
Me: “Hmmm….I don’t have any <name>....”
Cop: “I can double check with him again. Can I put you on hold a minute?”
Me: “Sure”
Cop: “Thanks. <click> HOOGA CHAKA HOOGA HOOGA HOOGA CHAKA HOOGA HOOGA HOOGA CHAKA-”

This is why the RCMP are awesome.

So is this the sound of a foreign language being spoken or the RCMP randomly beating a suspect? Either would make the RCMP awesome - I just wasn't sure which was going on...

...wha?

SC: “Where are the cashmere items made?”
Me: “They're made in Nepal.”
SC: “Oh. Ok. So does the material come from North Carolina than?”

….you have utterly no idea what cashmere is do you? The material is actually coming from Nepalese goat shavers at an altitude of some odd 14,000 feet. So no, not North Carolina. Where the hell did that even come from? Is cashmere normally a big export in North Carolina? Is there some sort of Carolina Mountain Goat I'm unaware of that's highly coveted for its downy underbelly?



*looks out her window and scratches head* Hmm...no...no coveted mountain goats here. The only local goats I know of are the scraggly ones about 30 minutes down the mountain from here. Not sure how downy their underbellies would be. Now, we do have a cat that sheds like there's no tomorrow. Maybe we could weave her fur into a nice scarf if he's so intent on Native North Carolinian outerwear.

Ugh, seriously? Can you have them arrested? It would give them some place to stay and reduce my call volume.

And I had to do that by myself... just me frantically checking people in and the shuttle driver. and GK, if you work for one of the companies that sells our hotels I will attempt to not hate you...

It's not like I want too! I'd rather they all just slept in the airport myself. -.-

They drove ALL THE WAY TO OTTAWA, and now the bus driver is out there showing MORAL SUPPORT for OUR bus drivers.

He needs to come back and show moral support from my frozen jibbles. 10-15 minutes at a bus stop in the middle of the night out here lately will start reversing puberty.

more.. MORE DAMN YOU!!

<sob> I don't wanna. I've suffered enough. Maybe later. ;p

winning pink airport

... What would a Winning Pink Airport look like I wonder?

[froglet]

Oh GAWD!
Thanks to you, I had a flashback to The Mighty Hercules cartoon and that annoying centaur. Not to be confused with our local, lovable centaur with his hatred of my poor pink phone. (you know who you are...)

I think they might have confused alpaca with cashmere. Both are wonderful fabrics woven from the hair of a 4 legged mammal. Llamas and alpacas are farmed in the mountains of North Carolina. Why do they farm them in the mountains of NC? Probably due to the climate, terrain and profit margin, and temperament of the critters.
