I am so glad I can hang up on people. I've never had to but I know I can, cursing or not. (I've had nice ones use swear words, haha.)

The good news is that I got a new job and after June 22 I won't have to deal with this crap anymore.
The bad news is that there's a still chance I might have another run-in with this hose beast between now and then. A closer look at her notes revealed that she's like a freaking werewolf, coming out once month to terrorize the rest of us.I question my sanity every day. Sometimes it answers.

I have seen more than a few people get thrown out of the food stamp office for cursing.
OTOH, one of the nicest clients I ever had didn't know how to form a sentence without swearing.
"Hello, John, I'm slave and I'm going to be helping you today.
Well hello slave, how the f*** are you?
Please try to watch your language, John, there are children around you.
S***! I'm so f***ing sorry!"
It was actually pretty amusing to me, so I completed his interview and sent him on his way. While we don't have assigned case loads anymore, sometimes certain of us are chosen to work with certain trouble clients because we can manage them. John is mine.

Quoth Buzzard View PostI know those authors are busy guys, but... 21? Damn, they're having too much fun with that.... WITHOUT ME! Going to have to run through Baen and see how many of them are e-books I can afford. (Unless you've got a cheaper source)I am not an a**hole. I am a hemorrhoid. I irritate a**holes!

It is a trap
Quoth dalesys View PostThey enslaved a bunch of other authors. Well, a lot of the earlier ones are available from the baen CDs. This site Fifth Imperium has permission!
Until I started reading Baen SF I never bought hardcover, afterwards I would read a series and then everytime I went by the local bookstores the hardcovers would call out to me "You want to know what happens next!".
I now own a tons of hardcovers I would never had bought if I had never heard of Baen.
Again it is a trap, once they give you the free samples they know they have you hooked with two-three books a day Monkey on your Back.
Have fun reading.

Know ye the Baen Free Library? There's quite a few books (some series starters, some stand-alone) for free perusing and download.
