National Idiot Day

Wow, wow (Christopher walken - 'wow') What in the name... of all things great... is going on today... It seems like every person and scenario I have come into contact with today, has either temporarily gone insane, or decided that talking shit is the answer for the problem I present them with. Not only have people become stupid over the phone, they have also become stupid on the road. The amount of people who never knew they were turning left at a traffic circle today set new records in the playing field of lucky packet license drivers. I spent what was close to 20 minutes on the phone with someone who didn't know what a 'margin' was and couldn't locate it when I told her it was to the right of the column she was looking at.... she then proceeded to tell me all the things she could read on the screen, and that nowhere did it say the word 'column'. At this point, I held the phone away from my ear, closed my eyes, took a deep breath and described to her what a column is and what a margin is and that by clicking in it, we will get somewhere.. As I said after 20 minutes she found the elusive margin and the next task was getting her to figure out what clicking and dragging was, I almost had a meltdown. Surely.... SURELY, my capabilities in the workplace far exceed explaining to a DFU the basics of left and right clicking in margins to select items in a list. OMFG. So these were upon the list of radical shit I had to deal with today. Our printer is also possessed. It says its printing - yet doesn't print a damn thing and when it does eventually decide to, it prints random lines all over the show, making everything illegible and hindering work being done by staff in the office. Patience is wearing thin at this stage, but I'm soldiering through.. If God is testing me, then hells bells I hope I'm scoring serious points, or something very rewarding is coming my way, coz this is next level shit. The cherry on the cake is when my rep in Umtata tells me he won't be making the Christmas lunch next week Friday, "because, um, my dear, I think there might be a funeral on that day". Oh really?? Might be? So what you're saying is that somebody in Umtata might potentially die this week, that you potentially know and the funeral is something you potentially need to attend? Great, completely justified..........., see you next year then. Pffft. That and the fact that his car that was in an accident 9 months ago is still at the panel beaters 'coz its a big story' he drove  a Toyota for f*sakes, there are no big stories that last that long, he couldn't afford the excess most likely and left it there... now travelling for work is 'inconvenient' when the request comes from me, (nevermind the fact that we cover every kilometer of petrol ever!) but on his side he's working flatout you know...... well unfortunately its inconvenient for me too, coz I have an S2000, and it's inconvenient to drive through King Williamstown in it. Sooooo sort that shit.

Can my phone stop ringing now, can drama stop flocking my way like fat kids to a cupcake store, seriously. I'm over today. Thank you. Hahaha, flipsakes............................
