chrystallineNot a very pleasant day; the office was tense, even though the phone wasn't very busy. Then there was the offensive woman who got snotty with me when she didn't want to leave voicemail for someone who didn't answer when I paged.
"I'm sure you've got those little message pads."
"Actually, we don't."
"Well, I'm sure you've got a pencil and paper, you can write a note." (in a snotty/pushy tone)
"Fine, I'll slip it under the door." (thinking: Wench! Just leave a voicemail!)
Ended up writing out my frustration on a piece of paper, thought better of it (because the intended recipient tends to be as stiff and arrogant as the wench who called) and threw it away. Then I got out a posty note and wrote "[name] called." and stuck it on the door. I was still ticked. There's a reason we have voicemail in the office. I can't go sticking notes on everyone's desk or door because I have to be at the phone in case it rings again! Stupid pushy people think they're more important than whoever might call while I'm off delivering their oh-so-important message. I seriously considered not writing the message at all.
One of the others seemed to be giving me sidelong glances, though she told me later it was just that she was too busy to talk to anyone today. I wonder how she knew I was bothered, though, because I didn't say anything to her about it, and I didn't mention her name to the person I commented to. Hmmm. Place leaks like a sieve on everything that *isn't* important, and I'm always last to know when someone's taking a day (or three) off. Drives me nuts. I have to know these things, so I don't put people into voicemail that won't be checked for a day or more!
Pfff. In other news, I snitched a quizzy thing from Jean or Bjam:
Which Legendary Actress are you?
Cool! Audrey. Just...cool.
