Not-so-lovely Rita, Hurricane

My problems with calls during lunch have persisted, but I believe today I may have found a solution. While making calls of my own, I had to call a certain company. While making this call, I was asked to hold for the next available representative. The next available representative turned out to be the beep-beep-beep letting me know my call had been disconnected. I asked this representative if perhaps there was another better suited for my needs, but they were quite insistent. After calling a second time, I was once again transferred to Mr. beep-beep-beep. After a third time, I finally got someone else, who was about as much help as Mr. beep-beep-beep.
I believe the solution to my problems might be to indicate to the caller that there is someone who may be more interested than I in what they have to say...and send them off to Mr. beep-beep-beep.

Anyway, here are some other things I learned yesterday:

If you don't want drill holes in a table, you should probably put something between the object being drilled and the table itself...and more than likely, your co-workers don't want holes in the table.

If you play around with glue, make sure it doesn't have "weld" in its name, and come in a two-part epoxy, and have 80% of its label covered in warnings. Not good.

Well, I guess that's about it for today. Here's hoping that the responsibility for this upcoming hurricane doesn't get delegated to Mr. beep-beep-beep.
