Blu tooth vs Blackberries

While I am not a fan at all of the blu tooth, I know there are some situations where they are needed and sometimes it may just be more comfortable to keep it in.  What bothers me the most is the over use of the blackberry.  A guy I work with (who isn't that important) brings his into meetings, always has it in his hand and checks it while walking out of his office, but he really brought it to a new level last friday....he was checking/typing emails while he waited for his bagel to toast.  REALLY???  Are you that f-ing important that you need it for the 5 minutes away from your office that the trip to the kitchen takes?

I hope I am never as important as he is.

Sounds like some of my Sales Reps...

Realistic- I have come to realize that it is a natural habit that if you own a crackberry, that you thumb needs to be on the scroll button thumbwheel at all times, and always needs to be moving up and down.

I want to know what is so special about that magical button.  Are they playing tetris or something?  Looking at oversized naked pictures?  Someone please fill Reg in.  BC there is no way people are always scrolling though email that much....

hahhaha - well, if it's video games or naked pics, then I am ok with it.

The most annoying thing about the BT is the obnoxious way it makes it impossible to figure out if a person is talking to you or to someone on the phone.  How f-ing pretentious do you have to be that you think I will wait around and look like a fool trying to guess who the f you are talking to?

Always reminds me of this classic SNL Character:



And you have an appointment with who?....

[Touchdown Tommy]

Paging Dr. Enginegro, Dr. GRO...please report to the LLPP immediately


GRO: It's Friday.  Are your TPS reports due? 

[JT]

Well, I gotta disagree with you boys to an extent.  For the most part, I have normal ringers.  I have a different ring for WTFF, so if the phone isn't near me, I know it's her, and I HAVE to get up to get it.  (It's Michael Jackson, because SHE wanted to pick it).

When Gro or Regulator calls, I have the DMX Rough Riders Anthem.  When my nerdy 'stat boy' friend from home calls, I have the ESPN ring, and when my brother calls, i have the Chapelle's Show theme.  Oh and when home calls, I have the Star Wars Imperial Army theme. 

JT has "Shook Me All Night Long" for FMJT.  And for those ambush type customers that JT wants hear on vmail first in order to plan the right response he has "Damn It Feel Good To Be a Gangster" from the movie Office Space.  Actually anyone who is an idiot gets that ring.  JT never talks to them straight away.  He always calls these people back.

Bman has a co worker that does not realize that the person on the other end can hear you just the same as a regular phone ....STOP SCREAMING INTO THAT THING...they can hear you...

Reg is definately "THAT GUY"
Sorry Bman.....I'm a loud cell phone talker....cant help it

Like last night at dinner, MR and I were sitting next to some people that were having a conversation...and she really isn't a loud talker.  After asking her 3 times to speak up I stopped her and just told her "if you don't speak up, I am done talking...and will sit here silently eating my food"

MR didn't quite appreciate how I handled the situation.

I'm a loud celly talker as well, but your solution to the MR situation is classic.  I do stuff like that as well.....maybe that's why I'm still single!!

[union89]

I now have a work issued Treo.....it sucks.  Used to have the small celly and small pager.  Now I get it all in one along with internet access, e-mail, camera, etc. which all tolled causes me to carry around an instument that is the size of a brick.  Remember the old celly's that everyone makes fun of??  The new Treo's are about that size, but sooooooo functional....F' functional.  Also everyone at my company now has a company issued Treo as well.....people text like mofo's which causes me to text like a mofo, otherwise I get, "man, I've been texting you, but haven't gotten a response.....have you gotten my messages?"

I hate technology.....I still have an answering machine at 'Casa de Union89'.

Also, sales reps represent the straw which stirs the drink of this thing we call life.

Without sales reps, LD11 would have a shelf full of crappy product with no sales.  He still has the crappy product, but the sales reps make him look good and keep things movin'!!

TGP is off to Boston.  Go Sox!

You have seats for the series with the Bombers? Know someone, stubhub, scalper?

JT would like to do a Yanks vs. Red Sox game in Boston.  However, Sox fans are safer in Yankee Stadium then Yanks fans are in Fenway.  Only obnoxious Sox fans are subject to a beat down in the Bronx.

your joking right?

Check the arrest/protective custody records for games at Yankee and Fenway.  You will see it is about 10-1 times more arrests at yankee stadium.  ABDW for batteries and the like are also about 20-1 times more prevelant at yankee stadium.  Most of the time, Yankee security will not even allow redsox shirts in the bleachers.  They will make you take it off if there already was an incident.

Plus, at Yankee/sox games at Fenway, Id say about 10-20% of the crowd will be Yankee fans.  At Yankee stadium, Id say its about 4-8%.

.  I have a different ring for WTFF, so if the phone isn't near me, I know it's her, and I HAVE to get up to get it.  

I am the exact opposite!

[Regulator]

I love it when LD11 visits Camdem yards and wears his RS jersey, then eventually finds someone wearing a Yankees jersey and start exchanging words with each other.

The irony, neither the Yankees or Red Sox are playing 

['gro]

gro has a bidness trip next week so he is trying to get all his TPS reports done, but may have to pull saturday duty to "empty the plate". Stoopid short weeks, why not give us the whole week off?

blutooth - hate them
blackberries - hate them but secretly jealous.

I'm not saying that Sales Reps are not crucial, I just wish sometimes they actual did some of the technical research so they don't sell something we can't do, then blame it on the operations team.  And I wish they weren't salesmen ALL the time.  And I wish they had to deal with the customers AFTER they sell the product, instead of me putting out their fires.  And i wish they didn't all think their weiners were huge.
