Office Space, or, effective use of corporate phones

Me: There was some other guy who was holding a conference call. The meeting invite had no dial-in # but I was coming from another meeting so I didn't notice that until 15 minutes before the conference call in question. So I email him, because he's not on IM and not at his desk, "Hi Cranston, what's the dial-in?"

Cranston's email response: "It's on the invite."

My response: "It's not on the invite."

Minutes pass...

Cranston's email Response: "I'll send you the updated invite."

Artemis: O
M
G

This guy SUCKS!

Me: I don't know why he couldn't have just given me the number in his first reply.

Artemis: Can you give me his number?

Me: Ha, why?

Artemis: I wanna call him and go "you're an asshat" and then hang up.

"You do all the hard labor!"

"Good girl, you're a good girl. Nice job!"

"You do such good work, but you don't have to clean the bathroom."

"Where are you going? Are you sure you can pick that up?"

"這 來! 你 去哪??" (Come here! Where are you going??)

[to the cat] "You see her working? She cleans up all your mess and fur. You should love her, don't be scared of her."
