Herself?

[fetishman]

cheeky but true

[euphuistica]

Yup, I think this was the case. Anyone representing the shitty 'artistes' she claimed to be representing would have to keep repeating it as well.

I may be a small fish in a fairly small pond, but at least I'm not trying to pretend otherwise...

Hee Hee. Loonies are fun to play with on the phone.

[euphuistica]

Did I tell you why I'm jousting with cretins on the 'phone? The new Director has decided to not replace the receptionist, so now it is I, along with my colleague and 'comrade-in-arms against morons' Dan, who must face the ravening hordes of imbeciles that constantly plague businesses. No, we are perfectly happy with our water supplier/ photocopier/ HR recruitment..... Can you tell I'm not Receptionist material?

[card0]

Ouch! poor Gillian.

You are not alone, we've been informed that receptionists and admin-monkeys are 'a luxury the company will have to reduce due to rising overheads' and that 'bonuses and payrises are limited as the company cannot afford to pay the same increases as last year'.

Our multi-billion dollar multi-national that just announced Multi-billion pound (sterling) record profits.

Bastards.

She was very very something that's for sure

[euphuistica]

Native good manners prohibit me from extrapolating exactly what, but I'm sure we get the general idea.

[fluffymark]

Are you sure she didn't say impotent?

[euphuistica]

If I were her, I'd be pretty bloody impotent, out of sheer embarrassment at being nominally sentient and still behaving in such a ghastly fashion.

[magfish]

definitely herself. obviously has a long way to go as well!

[euphuistica]

Yup. About 30 years worth of serious self-esteem therapy, and then possibly being ducked in the village pond for good measure. Oh, and part of that therapy ought to include answering the 'phone to sad old mingers such as herself.
