She has probably been sucked into the white noise on their TV.

Speaking of which, she's been unusually quiet today. Think DH had finally had enough and buried her with the Indians in their lot?

If you are in my office and you ask me to drop what I am doing to explain something to you because you don't want to bother to read through it & figure it out for yourself, do not...I repeat: DO NOT answer your cell phone...twice...and have conversations about playing basketball at four and bringing home milk...

When he answered the second call I went back to what I was working on when he arrived. When he wanted to start up again on the explanations, I told him to e-mail his questions to me and I would answer them when I had time.

grrrrr

So you coming to b ball or not?

Am I the only one who gets a little torqued off when I take my time to actually visit a business and have my transaction interrupted by the person helping me taking a phone call but instead of putting them on hold they totally take care of the person on the phone rather than finishing with me?

Hey, I was here first and...well...I'm actually here!

THIS IS A HUGE PET PEEVE

I usually put the caller on hold, or ask for name & number to call them back. It irks me when people decide their phone is more important than you are; I don't want to be guilty of doing it to others.

I will sometimes before I start a conversation with someone say, "I apologize in advance, I'm waiting for a call back on X project so if they call I have to take it." It isn't perfect but at least they know it wasn't for some random call. I apologize after the call again as well and maybe give them the Cliff Notes version as to why it was so pressing.

I need tips on how to play kickball like a real person


also, I need to clarify my comment about legit busy. I'm always legit busy, but I've been AFK busy today. And isn't it funny when you meet people you talk with often over the phone and they look nothing like you pictured them? Thought for sure this one dude was probably in his 50s and if he hadn't said how long he's worked for the company I would have thought he could be younger than I am.

Hmm. Google says he's two years older than I am.

Clowns don't really bother me. And no I'm not going to tell you what does.

BTW - if you are a grown-*** man and wear athletic shoes with jeans it looks terrible.

Terrible.

Somehow to me it seems kind of okay.

When I see a person with holes poked in his head (ears, nose, brow, lips) and his nipples and **** hanging from them, Lots of really graphic tattoos so he can be edgy, like all the other millions of edgy kids with tattoos and pants hanging down so everyone can see his undies and butt crack - yeah, that's when I think grown men with jeans and tennis shoes look terrible.

Comparing two unrelated things makes no sense. It wasn't "which looks worse". Anything Seinfeld wore is bad. Like shirts 4 sizes too large.

Still nothing, huh?

Well I think Sperrys look feminine af. So I'll stick to my Nikes and jeans.

No, the puffy shirt looked bad, or was it the pirate shirt?

Oh, yeah, I forgot it's not clowns.

It was only in the past year I found out Pennywise was Tim Curry.
