... and coming up crap.

Really, it's not my job, or the company — I love both of those. It's just sometimes I don't particularly love the people with whom I interact, and frequently, I'd rather just be allowed to stay home and be independently wealthy.

Dear Customer:

I'm the one who ran around to three different sources tracking down your claim and making sure you'd been paid on it. So, no, I won't be going back to the person who took your original call and pawned it off on me, to thank him for "going the extra mile" for you.

Sincerely,

Golf "I've Done Enough Without Having to Be Your Carrier Pigeon, Too" Widow

Dear Co-worker:

Yes, I saw the Great Big Sign (as you pointed out so very sarcastically) saying "On Vacation" on order-person's desk.

Yes, I left an order there anyway.

Know why?

Because the sign said "On Vacation," not "On Vacation, so give the orders to [insert alternate order-person]."

Mind reading costs extra. Oddly, I haven't received my mind-reading bonus this week.

So be so kind as to take your sarcasm, walk your lazy arse two cubicles over to our other co-worker's desk, and PICK UP THE ORDER.

Sincerely,

Golf "I Might Possibly Have Walked Down the Two Flights of Stairs, Picked It Up for You, and Hand-Delivered It to Your Desk, Except for Your Having Already Copped a Snotitude, for Putting Up With Which I Haven't Gotten a Bonus This Week, Either" Widow

P.S. You'd've known all of this ahead of time if you'd listen to your voicemail before you leave snarky notes for people.

P.P.S. Bow before my mad not-ending-with-a-preposition skills.

All of this, just so I have some filler before I announce that this week's podcast is probably better never than late, but fuck that, it's just late, not never. Go forth. Listen. Click the pretty links.

In case you have never heard the show and are assuming it's just the audio version of this blog, you are so very wrong. Find out what I sound like when I'm not filtering myself through the holy-crap-my-mom-reads-this-o-meter.
