Pony: Variations on the same conversation at the office supply store
8.26.2003
I've just gotta ring this in. Sorry, this has been the craziest day. I can't wait for it to be over. (looks up from the cash to make eye contact with fellow clock-watchers).
It was just SO nuts today. I mean, first, the courrier comes in and just GRABS the package from the desk. No ID, no nothing. I mean, can you believe this?
So I said to him, WAITTTASEC, MISTER, YOU CAN"T JUST WALK OUT OF HERE WITHOUT SHOWING ME SOME ID!
I mean, I could get fired for doing that!
But then he gets all pissy and says I"M DOUBLE PARKED (dumb guy voice). Like, I don't care if you are double parked. You can't just grab something off the desk and walk away.
He was putting MY JOB on the line.
Sorry. One sec. Let me put in your customer account #. (register beeps flat WRONG note)
Damn! (flips hair impatiently) See? See? Did I tell you I was having the worst day, or what?
I just WANT to go HOME. You know? One of those days, I tell ya.
