    Out of curiosity, what was the customer service problem that would've been discussed in boardrooms?
    I was curious as well, but I wasn't the customer service line. So he told me not. QQ.

      GK, sometimes your posts are good, sometimes great, sometimes disappointing (for you, that is), sometimes sheer hilarity.

      This one, sir, almost killed me. Quite literally. After all, if you can't breathe, you die. And I had severe trouble breathing I was laughing so fucking hard! Actually, my hangover would like a word with you, because my head already hurt enough before I was laughing uncontrollably! Thanks to you, it hurt even more! But for that, I will forgive you. All in all, it was a great ending to the weekend!

      Wait, let me check that statement. Football playoffs? Check. Beer? Check. Good food? Check. Snogging the Cute Little Redheaded Girl? Check. Laughing my ass off to the point of tears while my hangover threatened to tear my skull apart? Check.

      Thank you, sir, you have made my weekend......complete!

      SC: “A hat.”

      This one about killed me. You, sir, fucking rock!

      I spoke with him as well, however, and he did explain that the water was due to the fire.”
      SC: “Well how long is this going to last?!”

      Until the fire stops burning and killing people. You sow.
      I really, REALLY wish you had SAID that last part. Not the sow part, but the rest of it you really could have gotten away with.

      “I’m like, so cute and gentle when I’m wasted!”

      Yes, I know nothing overloads my cute sensors quite like a girl whose eyes are going in different directions, can’t stand upright by herself, has breath like paint thinner and may or may not eject the contents of her stomach on me at any given moment. It’s just so adorable.
      As a drinker, and one who hangs out with female drinkers, I CAN tell you that some girls really ARE adorable when they are five sheets to the wind. Not puking, mind you. But trashed and being silly, stupid, loud, and obnoxious? Very entertaining, and oddly attractive at times. Not with all girls, mind you. But with some? Sure!

      Not NEARLY enough of them, sadly.

      I am sure there are many, MANY Philly fans who last night wished they could turn down MY volume control. As I am a loud and boisterous and vocal fan.

      Remember kids, It’s fine if you’re stupid as long as you’re polite.
      Oh so very true. I have that thought many times daily in my line of work.

            at last part. Not the sow part, but the rest of it you really could have gotten away with.
            Ugh, I know. I really wanted to slap her. That fire only got worse till even my lines started to get busy with emergency crews and dispatching. That fire took about 12 hours to put out in the end I think it was. 1 person was killed and two firefighters were injured. Plus a bunch of the emergency crews had smoke inhalation.

            At one point the cops had called out one of my on calls again. Not because he wasn't on scene, but because the cops didn't know he was on scene because the smoke was too thick to find him.

            She's lucky she didn't call back again. I'd have snarked me thinks.

              I am sick and the laughing pained me greatly.

              I have to admit I felt guilty about laughing. It really sucks that you had to deal with those people. Especially the three times you had to tell them that you would not be dealing with them again. Poor GK.

              I loved the otter thing.

                  I was hungover when I read it, not drunk. In other words, I was quite sober.

                  Still am. And your post still makes me laugh.

                      That’s right, a question so simple that even the most primitive land mammals could probably answer. If I set an otter down in front of several items: Say a host of Pokemon paraphernalia, an old shoe, a Slim Jim ( Of which he could “snap into” if he so desired ) and a host of ever delicious clams. He would, of course, select the ever delicious clams as they are the most desirable item ( Though the Slim Jim is close. ) You, however, despite being presented with the items you wish cannot select the one you desire most. The otter can make this decision. Yet neither you nor your cohort can. The otter could probably select the hat it wanted too. Which it would wear while cracking open the ever delicious clams.
                      Isn't there a picture out there somewhere with a otter wearing a top hat while munching on clams? Cause that's what popped into my head, and if there isn't a picture like that, there should be.
                      Pretend there's something here that sounds insightful, but is really just some pseudo-intellectual bull.

                        Well, I didn't find any otters in top hats, but I did find this.
