Recently I've been dealing with someone on the phone who talks a lot. I mean a LOT. This guy goes off on more tangents than a trigonometry book and it's impossible to get a word in edgewise. Chronic interrupter, and he never gets to his point. Seriously, in nearly 3 hours on the phone with him, I think I've maybe completed three or four sentences. The only reason I've put up with any of it so far is he appears to want to spend a fair amount of money on wood stuff and wants me to do it.
Anyway, the first time he called me I was on the phone for 90 minutes with the guy, and when I finally was able to hang up, I was utterly speechless. I had a splitting headache. I couldn't even describe to LOML what it was the guy had been talking to me about. Wednesday night I was back on the phone with him, and at about the one hour mark in the conversation, I grabbed a spare phone handset and had LOML listen to this guy talk for a few minutes. She lasted for about five before she quietly hung up. When I finally got off the phone 20 minutes later, my loving and helpful wife had laid out some relief for me on the dining room table. You can see how much she really cares for me...
Advil, anti-anxiety meds, whiskey, and a loaded pistol. If that ain't love, what is?
