I Fought the Phone and I Won!

Today has been stressful for NO gosh darn reason. I admit, I did not want to work on Saturday, but I must. Because I had this attitude of not wanting to be at work, everything went wrong. The biggest problem that I had was with the STUPID STUPID PHONE! (I think it knows that I'm talking about it. I can feel it sneering at me right now)

You should all call the information number for the funeral home and tell me if I sound aggravated. 870-238-3111

This stupid phone (because we all know that the problem could not be the human punching the buttons) would not record the funeral message. 7 times I still heard Sandy's voice from the previous recording. I shut all the doors to the office (surely it was the noise causing all the problems). 4 more times this STUPID phone did not record, then it had the nerve to tell me 3 more times that "That is not a valid selection" and "You have entered an invalid password" Oh, no, I didn't.

Well, maybe I did.

I gritted my teeth and threatened the phone several times and tried one more time and finally it worked. I called the number and listened and I sound awful...but I REFUSE to try again.

I WON THE BATTLE!

I get into battles with inanimate objects all the time. I like to win too. : ) Sometimes a good swift kick to the offending chair leg just feels good.
