“I am not down with the yelling.” January 26, 2005 ~ 3:08 pm
Posted by Julie in : Daily Grind , comments closedI actually just told someone in my office this. I think my exact words, after she asked me to repeat myself for the third time were “I am not yelling this stuff so you can hear me, because I’ve had a headache for two damn weeks. I am not down with the yelling.” At which point, she muttered something under her breath. I don’t much care, she’s a trouble employee who doesn’t pull her weight, and she’s moody right now because we’re calling her on it.
But hey, guess what? My replacement handset for my cell phone came this morning. It didn’t come sooner because some dumbass at T-Mobile wrote down that I needed a replacement battery, not handset. So now I’ve got the replacement handset and two batteries. I am awesome. And do you know what the most annoying ringtone in the world is? A Hi-Fi ringer of The Darkness’s “I Believe In a Thing Called Love.” That’s right, Hi-Fi ringers enable us to hear the lead singer, in all his Tiny Tim sound-alike glory, singing “I believe in a thing called loooove! Juuust liiisten to the ryyythm of my heaaart!” Over and over and over again, because while Hi-Fi ringers have high quality sound, they don’t last too long, I guess because of the amount of memory it would take. So they’re often looped. I was tempted to download a William Shatner ringtone, but that looped would have just been too much, ya know?
