lets make some lemonade tonight baby
My bosses are looking for toll free service for a
high-tech top secret mission.� So for
the last few days I�ve been shopping for toll free service that will
accommodate our needs.� I have been
gathering (trying to gather in some instances) information and relaying it to
the boss man.� We need to be able to
receive calls and forward them to outside lines.� The example I gave the phone companies was �we have sales guys
out there and we need to be able to have incoming callers automatically
transferred via call forwarding once they�ve chosen which sales guy they want
to speak to.��� Of course this is all a
guise for reality since we divulge no business practices at the tip-top secret
companies I work for.�
The Sprint operator stated to me �you can change the forwarding
numbers from your office via password so that if Joe the sales guy doesn�t come
to work nor does he want to be at home with his wife and you want to forward
his calls to sayyy�his girlfriends house so that he can address your business
needs, well� it can be done�.� She
actually said that.� So�reading from my
notes I repeated her example to boss man.�
He said, �oh geez..you�re so bitter, the jilted one.�� Well he said that or some such similar
statement meaning the same exact thing.�
(I wasn�t taking notes to relate here later, c�mon my life is boring but
not THAT boring.)� This statement made
me wonder where he got the notion that I am bitter?� Was it because I stated what had happened in a conversation a few
weeks ago?� Trust me when I say there is
no un-embittered way to say �oh my ex�yah well he left for the next door
neighbor he was cheating on me with for years.�� I could say �oh my ex, why�d we get divorced, it was due to his
cheating.�� I could try �He was not
faithful and so it ended.�� But somehow
the subject of where my son lives inevitably comes up and then there�s a big
explanation and tons of sideway�s glances and usually a �geez how Jerry is
that?� comment.� I get scoffed at.� I get all sorts of reactions, but I have yet
for anyone to not just automatically put me in the �man-hating� �embittered�
category.�
The damn Sprint lady said it�I just repeated it.� I wonder what her ex did.� I hope it was quite Jerry.� I�d like to think I�m not the only
disillusioned woman out there right now.�
Yah..disillusioned�that�s me.�
Bitter?� That�s a lemon.
I think the next time someone asks me why I got divorced I
am going to say, �well when we first met the sex was fantastic and then he got
this weird illness that made his hands and feet go numb and he can currently no
longer sustain an erection longer than five minutes and I was just entering my
sexual peak years and so he was forced to find a geriatric women who wouldn�t
mind his sluggish movements and quick sexual encounters and I found myself a
younger man with a raging hard on and tons of free time to make wild passionate
love to me for hours.
Yah see?� No more bitter comments for this girl.� :-) 1-800-I-ROCK!!!
