Miscellaneous Misery

[gerund]

Gah, so I have been sending them too you. My apologies. -.-

Your chances of getting me lately are pretty slim as its taking the majority of our call centers to field the call volume from stranded folk and we have quite a few call centers. But they're all in Canada. Which is fun whenever a caller has Z in their name:

Caller: "The last name is Zeiger. ZEE-E-I-G-E-R."
Me: "Ok, so Zeiger. ZED-E-I-G-E-R?"
Caller: "No no, Zee-e-i-g-e-r"
Me: "Yes. ZED-E-I-G-E-R. Right?"
Caller: "No no no no! ZEE! ZEE-E-I!"
Me: "Yes. ZED-E-I. I have it. Alright, do you have a p-"
Caller: "WHERE AM I CALLING!?!?"

This happens almost every time. Than they get indignant because I'm not American. >.>

This post has been bought to you by the number 666 and the band Zed Zed top.

Wow, that is strangely contempt-inducing. It's like it's designed to look wrinkled. Maybe that's the idea, so there's no point in ironing it.

If I had to wear a wrinkle-hiding pattern though, I think I'd prefer the aforementioned pink camo.

How about pink drunken plaid?

Apart from the hideous green trim, it's not a completely horrible shirt pattern; might even be a passable short skirt (ie, small doses are better). Horrible as pants though, so if fear for anyone who happens upon someone GK has sold said drunken plaid pants to...might blind them.

....no, still seems to inspire contempt. Even more so because its suppose to be "kimono" style. -.-

i'm in an administrative support position. that means i am paid to support you, not to give a rat's ass about you. i can simulatneously loathe you (which i do) and do my utmost to assure that your request will be processed in a timely fashion (which i will). doing what you ask of me doesn't mean i like you; it simply means that your request falls under the scope of my job description. and do not let my "sure, i'll take care of that" in this particular situation lull you into a false sense of security that will eventually lead to your counfoundment when, one day, you request something that does not fall under my pervue and i tell you to get bent.

This is why it pays to be nice to your co-workers and your superiors. But not ass-kissing nice. I wish I could say "get bent" to some of my customers, but that day will come. That day will come, as it has come for you 4011.
Have a nice day.

What the heck else do people call a chesterfield? I've never heard the term applied to anything else...

[4011]

there's a type of suit coat called a chesterfield. the coats the beatles wore during the ed sullivan show were chesterfields.

[crazylegs]

There is also the place...

[Rapscallion]

I thought that was Cloverfield?

[crazylegs]

That's the film

[Rapscallion]

There was a film about a place? Well, they named one Casablanca, so I'm not overly surprised.

You're mistaken Oh Wise and merciful one, it was The Canterbury Tales....
