Things I’ve been tempted to say lately… May 20, 2005 ~ 11:12 am
Posted by Julie in : Daily Grind , trackbackA list of things I have wanted to say in the past week:
“How old are you? Why do I have to teach you phone etiquette?” - to one of the women in my office who can’t be bothered to tell me who is on the phone. I need to know if I’m talking to a student, professor, dean, etc. , dumbass, I’m not asking this for my health.
“Mumbling ’stu…’ doesn’t count as telling me who is on the phone!” - to the same woman. Oh, wait, I did tell her that.
“You’re never getting out of here, stop calling.” - to any number of students asking when they’re going to graduate
“She says she’s sick. I’m not buying it.” - to my supervisor, regarding Phone Etiquette Challenged Woman (PECW). Wait, I did say that. PECW has called off the past two days, leaving my office short-staffed at a time when every student on campus is calling to find out if they’re graduating. She has a habit of being sick conveniently at our peak busy times, yet wonders why she’s on my shit list.
“You didn’t get a postcard about Commencement because they’re all sitting in a dumpster behind a mall somewhere in Hackensack.” - to any of the students who have asked why they didn’t get Commencement info. I haven’t said this, but I’m starting to believe it. Seriously, it seems like half the school didn’t get their postcards.
“If this fucking phone rings one more time, I’m going to throw it out the window.” I’m honestly thinking this right now. It’s rung six times since I started this post, and there are only two of us in the office to answer it. After 1 PM, it will be just me here, because the other person is a part-timer.
“Kill me. Kill me now.” I’ll be saying this at precisely 1:01 PM. The only thing saving me is that it’s Friday, and there is a weekend ahead of me. So I will show you my happy place, the thought of which is getting me through this day:
That’s right, beotches, South Park Julie’s drinking a beer. And so will I after I get out of here today.
