[quote name='PlumeNoir']I swear, I'm going to bring in my sketch book and a pencil to work, so I don't have to scribble in ink on post-its when I'm on the phone. (Phone numbers and named edited out of the pic.
Speaking of work, my analog line on my desk rang today. (These are phones we never use, except for the occasional VPN testing.) We've been getting calls on them recently - some automated scam to extend your auto warranty. I decided to press 1 and speak to an operator to
with him. I acted really excited and thankful for the offer, because I said I drive a 2006 Focus with 150,000 miles on it. Indian sales guy asked if I was a salesman - I told him I was retired, but I do odd jobs and have to get stuff back and forth across the country really fast and that I sometimes put 10,000 miles on my car in a month, and I can't afford to break down in Iowa when I'm being followed, or if I have women waiting for me in Texas.
My co-workers were cracking up, but the sales guy never flinched. I finally hung up because as my story started to get more outrageous, I started to fight the giggles.
Next phone call: Gay Steve fights with his boyfriend.[/QUOTE]
You should record that shit.
Speaking of trying to sell a warranty on something not worth much...
When I bought my $10 copy of BlastWorks at BestBuy the checkout girl asked if I wanted to buy a disc warranty for $4. And she offered that with a straight face.
