Customer Service Out The Ass
You ever have that moment where you totally lose all customer service? Where, either from being tired or exasperated from work, you totally lose all tone in your voice, and you kinda give everyone the "Youre an idiot" vibe? Thats what I got right now. This chick from the Art department called and the following occurred.
Art CHick: Hi Chris! Theres this one grad file that has had a bunch of problems, and the girl cant register.
Me: Is there a hold on there?
AC: Well, see, its been put on hold for a lot of things. THe last thing I heard was that yall were missing a transcript.
Me: Well, Ill just look her up....
AC: And I was just talking to Brandon, and Ive talked with Lamesa, so Id really like to get this taken care of.
Me: Well, wait. Did they say they would take the hold off?
Ac: The hold IS off.
Me: Then whats the prob, as we say?
Ac: We lost the Grad File.
Me: Did Brandon or Lamesa resend it?
AC: Yes.
Me: Well, itll take, you know, as long as it takes the mail room to come and get it....
Ac: They resent it last month.
Me: Oh! And its still not there! Well, Ill resend it...
Ac: I have it right here.
Me: ...
Ac: So what do I do with it now?
Me: ....What do you mean?
Ac: We have the packet, now what do I do with it?
Me: Um, Im not sure. We always leave that up to the department...
Ac: Well, we normally send it to the grad department. Should I do that?
Me: (lonesome sound of a gunshot, dampened by the Gwar-like sound of Hell's orchestra opening up before me with a seat saved for me in the viola section, but not first chair, oh no, that would be too good, that really IS hell, being a viola stuck in third chair my ENTIRE HIGH SCHOOL CAREER that stupid bitch wasnt as good as I was she picked her nose and joined the navy dated a real JERK junior year and kinda nice guy senior year and nice guys finish last and....etc)
This reminds me of all those comments you have when you are asked stupid questions.
Moron from Teacher Education Department: Chris, Im having trouble pulling up my portal account.
Chris: Am I the fucking help desk?
Etc.
Remember Gwar?

Gwar. There are simply not enough references in life to Gwar...
Just start saying "You wanna do what now?"
