Here is the one work question-guaranteed- to always always piss me off: (scenario) someone asks if an invoice has been paid, I respond 'yes' + provide chk #. Then asshole (oops..I meant customer) asks "when was it mailed?". Fuck if I know.
You see I only put the mail into the tray - the receptionist stamps and mails it. So I can only guess from looking at the date on the check. If the date on chk is April 2, I add a few days for signing, and reply "mailed approx April 5". (seems like a better answer than fuck if I know, don't you think?) Well read on....
Why do I even bother? What comes next is "well I haven't received it yet" . As far as I'm concerned my part in this conversation is over. I can't possibly answer for the fucking postman. It's like asking how long someone will be on the phone?? Why not ask what the winning lotto numbers will be? Or what day will I die?
It makes me mad just typing this! Good grief. Normally I say, after I stop myself from wanting to hang up on the moron, is "I'm sure you'll be getting it any day now". Duh! But what I'm implying is 'getting a bullet between the eyes any day now.'
Alrighty- now that I'm all worked up it's perfect timing for me to go to the brain sucking tomb of silence temp job.
I'm going to try very hard not to kill my co workers. Afterall, I don't think orange coveralls are suitable for my skin tone.
