Today at Work

Today at work was interesting. I had little sleep and was pretty cranky. Then I'd run out of my allergy medicine and had to go pick up more at Fred Meyer before work. Luckily, Betty Jo was selling yummy candy bars. At one point, I got a call from this woman who was so crazy, she kept asking me to call her back to get the name of some woman at her bank that she wanted me to call for some reason. Every time I'd call her back at the interval she asked me to, I'd cause her crappy phone to lose the other line. It couldn't handle two lines, so while she was trying to get ahold of some supervisor at her bank so that I could call that supervisor and tell her the same thing that the crazy lady had just told her, I'd make her lose the line and she'd start screaming at me and yell at me to call her back in "10 minutes! No! 20 minutes!" because she'd have to call the bank back and go through 10 people to get to that supervisor again. Man, was she ever a screamer! The first thing she said when I first answered her call was, "DO NOT PUT ME ON HOLD!"

After 2 hours, which included an hour-late lunch, I was finally rid of her. But not before I spied one of the annoying, freaky-looking newbies watching Mr. And Mrs. Smith on his laptop that he had on his desk. I was always told that we can't bring our laptops to work. So I made sure to send an email to my supervisor asking if I too could bring my laptop to work. 'Cause if I'm not allowed to bring my laptop to work, ain't nobody gonna be allowed to bring their laptop to work! And even if they say I can bring it, you can't be on the internet, so it'd be pointless, anyway. Besides, I just think it's kind of unprofessional. Somehow it's worse than crocheting and knitting and making necklaces at work. Also, I'd be afraid of spilling on my nice little laptop.
