Jun. 19th, 2006 11:58 amMy phone: Ring, Ring, Riiiiiiiiiing!!
Me: Hello
Coworker #1: You know that really confusing issue that we both kind of let drop last week when it got really, REALLY confusing?
Me: Yeah.
C#1: Did you use your super-sekrit data ninja powerz to find a magical solution to it yet?
Me: No, I thought that you were doing something with it.
C#1: Nope.
Me: Drat!
C#1: Well, the customer is all sorts of pissed off now, so we need you to call in to the conference call so they can yell at you. Here's the number. Bye!
My phone: Dial tone!
Me: @$#!%$
My phone: Yay! I love dialing conference call numbers!
Coworker #2: Ah, Sabine, glad you could make it. Remember, don't take any of this personally.
Me: ....
Customer: SABINE!! WHERE THE $#@%! IS THE 12#$!@# THAT WE #!$%!@#!$^ LAST WEEK#$!%!#$#@!^$%$!@
Me: I'm doing my best. It's getting addressed.
Customer: LIKE HELL! WE EXPECT RESULTS, NOT IDLE PROMISES. WHAT KIND OF #$@^#$ ARE YOU, ANYWAY?!? GRRAAARRARRGH!!!!!!11!!1!
Me: o.O
Customer: Ok. Thank you! Have a great day!
My phone: Dial tone!
Me: O.o
My phone: Ring! RING!
Me: 'allo?
Coworker #2: Sorry 'bout that, they wanted someone to take a hit on this. So, how's it actually coming? I see that 80% of your team is out of the office this week. That must suck. Well, gotta go, so let us know when you've fixed this thing. Bye!
