So embarrassing! Not dog related.
What a b--ls up tonight. The reception staff at work are supposed to call me and let me know my start time for the next morning but sometimes they forget, so when I can I call first. To set the scene they use different phone numbers to call me depending on which takes their fancy.(I have 3 numbers-long story). Tonight when I got home there was no message on either answering machine. Oh NO!! DRATS!! I knew that tomorrow morning was very quiet as its really hot and a lot of my patients are women and the kids just went back to school after summer vacation, so they're all out coffeeing with their friends or freaking about the school costs and post christmas credit card bills and the deteriorating economy. I phoned in as it was right on close time hoping to get a start time. Darn, no answer, hang up and swear lots, while telling husband that I may get there at 9am tomorrow for a 10.30 start. Occur to self to check mobile phone messages, ahh relief, message waiting! While calling message bank, get an incoming call. Oh its the receptionist from work. Answer and say "oh I was just checking your message, I tried to call" And........................... "I know" says the receptionist "I could hear you swearing" 
OH NOOOOOO! The phone failed to disconnect. She got a recording of my profanities! I grew up in a small farming community and hung out with the guys, I can swear like a trooper. She was very nice and said she understood that I would not want to drive all the way in peak traffic for nothing, but I am SOOOOO EMBARRASSED, how unprofessional of me. Wayne thinks its funny and I have to admit so would I if only it was someone else who did it. 
Well now I've confessed so I'm supposed to feel better, right?  |

Crack open a few tinnies, and relax  |
Hee, hee thanks for the vindication. Got started on a nice bottle of white wine.  |
| Look at it this way, now they'll be afraid to tick you off! |
| Oh no. |

I LOVE this forum. Someone always comes up with a great silver lining. |
| Oh my! Two questions...
You left me hanging.... WHAT TIME DID YOU HAVE TO GO TO WORK? And.....Ummmm.... just what is it that you do?
Joan and I are laughing with you. |
| Not till 10.30am so an extra long dog walk this morning. We'll be heading off soon before it gets hot. And I'm a chiropractor. |
| What a coincidence!
I would make a joke about that, but I promised Joan no wise-cracks today. You know, sometimes she just makes me feel like I am being manipulated. I guess I'll just have to make a mental adjustment and get over it. |
| Oh Ron, you just crack me up. |
| whoops |
| This is so like my own experience.Fisrt day,first job,telephonist on a plug in type phone thingey,I was so confused,trying to answer 4 lines and connect each call to correct salesperson,they just had "extention 1" etc,nothing useful like a Name! so I get 2 calls and am reading the list of who has what extention and a 3rd call comes in for the Big Boss Manager and am trying to juggle 3 connectors into the right jacks and I swore,then I realised,I was holding my phone and the managers caller could hear me!I just put it through.And sweated.A few minutes later the Manager hung up then came out of his office and said "These things can be hard to get the hang of."Eeeek! |
| Ahhh thanks for your story, I just knew it would be funnier when it happened to someone else. You gotta laugh. |
| Don't talk to me about multiple phone lines!! I had a radio garden show. Handling phones on the air was difficult because a wrong button would put the dreaded dial tone over the air. One particularly tough Saturday morning I got everything all mixed up and ended up with a swear word going out over the air waves Engineer didn't catch it, but my fans did! Fortunately it wasn't a very big show |
| How interesting!! Sorry I havent been around long enough to know. What kind of radio do you do? It sounds really interesting with a talk back component. |
| Mim I'm the same way and my language has got me into trouble before. I have been told I can create a string of words that would blow most peoples minds. Not good when I get mad as I tend to say stuff I dont mean. I vent and have hurt many a feelings over the years. I dont like it, maybe it's just the Italian (Decarlucci) in me... or so my mother thinks. |
| I have a very serious gutter mouth. It can be pretty bad; when speaking I don't realize that most curse words aren't actually more colorful verbs, nouns and pro-nouns.
At that park today, we were talking about something or other about our dogs, and I said, without a thought about it, : "Oh Tonks would say 'screw that'". Only I didn't use the word "screw". The woman next to me said "I'm sure Tonks would never use such " I replied "You're probably right; but I wouldn't put it past Luna."  |
| LOL thats So funny,naughty Luna! |
| Confession is good for the soul!
Mim, sorry but I too, was chuckling after that faux pas...
Gasp like you, most people can't believe the stuff that comes outta my mouth although only immediate family members only see that side of me. I'd die if anyone else heard. You have my sympathies too.
