As I sat in the truck this morning at the Lone Tree Mc Donalds, the phone rang. Area code 310. West LA up to Malibu. Who the hell is calling me from Southern California this early?
Like an idiot, I answered. It was a sales rep for one of our (official lingo) wonderful (unofficial lingo) idiot pain in the ass customers.
"Jim, I see that you are blocked out all day on your calendar. That is why I called you on your cell phone."
Really? So the calendar, which shows you that I am busy, you are going to call anyways? And on my cell phone, because you know, technically, I would be on my desk phone.
The problem working for a telephone company is that people expect you to use the phone. Preposterous!
