Got Me Good

I had a bad day at work Monday. I knew it was going to be bad when the first two callers wanted to yap on and on about whatever it was they were fixated on. I think one was explaining about getting a wrong number the last time and the other one was just some senile old bat with nobody else to talk to. Plus, every day I end up sitting in a different cubicle, and the computer in the cubicle I was in that day was possessed by the Devil. Some times it would tab over to the next field like normal, and then other times it wouldn’t and I would be typing away before I noticed I was still in the location field. I think the problem was one of the letters on the keyboard was alternating between stuttering and putting the same letter 2 or 3 times, like thhhis, or whispering and not putting any letter down at all, like tis.

After my break I moved to a new cubicle, and you would think my day would have gotten better. It did, mostly. The key word there is mostly. Then I got a really rude caller. She was sick and needed the phone number of a pharmacy. A pharmacy I’m sure she’s been to about 1,286 times, but still had no idea how its name was spelled. I was nice to her, because she was sick and I really wanted to find the number she needed, but I had no idea how to spell the name of it, and she wasn’t talking clearly enough for me to even be sure what the name was. All I could understand was it started with an O. I asked her to spell the name, but she obviously didn’t spell it right, so I asked her what street it was on. I looked for O Pharmacy on the street she told me, because any pharmacy with a name starting with an O would have come up. Nothing. So then I tried just Pharmacy, in case if didn’t really start with an O. Nothing. I asked her to spell it again, and she got really rude. She thought I was just playing games with her or something. Like I don’t have anything better to do with my time than play mind games with the callers. Finally she just yelled “Shut up you whore!” and hung up. Oooh, you got me. I’m such a whore.
