phone....

> grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
<gdm> ocelot?
> people at work emailing me to demand that i call them
> if they can go through the trouble of emailing me, can't they just explain
what they want in email?
<gdm> heh. good question!
* ocelot calls SGI instead
<Cymru> Talk to Dafydd. :-) (David ********, does telephone support)
> heh. it's an idea
<gdm> sgi is a doomed company.
<gdm> just ignore them. :P
> i just love when people tell me to do my job in ways that are not possible

<kcm> er, statute
* funjon sighs and needs to call sun and get new USII cpus
<funjon> "CPUs. Lots of CPUs."
<funjon> *woosh*
> I'm mad at Sun today. And SGI, too
* gdm just nails himself to the cross, to spare ya'll the trouble.
> oh, not you. whoever it is who can't get our address straight
<kcm> SGI makes poopy-looking machines
> heh, I got someone named David
<Cymru> Ask him if he is David *********. :-)

<Cymru> Ken, that's the way it is pronounced in Welsh.
> gad, I'm not even sure if I ordered updates for us or some other company.
<gdm> kcm: Heh. Yeah, you have to say it with a limp wrist and a lisp.
<funjon> heh
<kcm> gdm: does that mean I'm Welsh?
<funjon> the Gay (sun)Blade?
<Cymru> Yeah. Can just imagine the rather large husky firefighter/EMT doi
that. Uh-huh.
<funjon> heh
<kcm> Cymru: sounds dreamy
<Cymru> Ken, I know of several women who would agree with you.
* funjon waits for an extreme engineer to tell him whether this highly
unsupported feature will work
* ocelot calls the person who demanded she call them
<kcm> on another note, one of our machine rooms is looking ultra-sexy wit
the
<kcm> it's really really attractive when there's a) a lot of it, b) it's
pretty new, c) the lighting is set for the mood
<kcm> the old stuff just doesn't compare
<gdm> Heh.
> he had a fucked up voice mail message
<kcm> wow, I got a lot of shit done today, I might be able to relax for 3
min. tonight
<kcm> woo
<gdm> fucked up?
> yeah. there was a buzz, and then about 20 seconds of quiet, and then the
<Cymru> <Cymru> Hey! Are you on the phone with a Jessica from UC Davis?
<Cymru> <dafydd> As a matter of fact, I just got off the phone with her, yes! ;-)
> dude, weird
<Cymru> Small world.
<kcm> tell him he's got an admirer
> do they have like 2 tech support people or something?
<gdm> basically, yes
<gdm> and they might have one engineer
<Cymru> <dafydd> Well, yes, in the last hour of the day...
> ah
<kcm> gdm: ITYM "CUSTODIAL engineer"
<gdm> kcm: Heh.
> Oh well, at least that's confirmation that I had the right contract number
:)
<gdm> "Sanitation engineer." :-)
<kcm> heh
<Cymru> <dafydd> (In my thread. We have people in COMM, LANG, GFX,
(Multimedia), etc. But, we just have two people in my particular group this

> tell him I apologize for being a freak. I'm awful on the phone :)
<kcm> as opposed to?
<kcm> :)
* ocelot kicks kcm
> ok, fine. I'm more of a freak on the phone than I am under most other
circumstances. happy?
<kcm> I'm kidding :)
> i'm not being entirely serious, either :)
<kcm> are you sure?
<kcm> :)
> yes
* gdm chuckles. kcm, i sense...great pain...in your immediate future. :)
> immediate? nah
<Cymru> <dafydd> She's far from the worst call I've ever had. (She
to get on the Authorized Caller list for her account, though.)
<kcm> gdm: always, oh psychic one
> yes, I do need to get on the authorized callers list. I thought I had.
<kcm> like THAT'S hard to predict for an EECS major
