Observations of a Closet Lunatic

Ok… so here’s a blog. Woohoo, introduction over.

So… I’m at work today, and I’m calling the help desk (in India) to speak to the guy who “set up” my administrative privileges last week. This is call #3, because the first time it didn’t take, the second time it worked, and all of a sudden it stopped working. At any rate, he asks me for my user name. Simple enough, let’s just pretend my user name is jbrinkofski. I tell the heavily accented gentleman my username in this manner

“Ok, ready? My username is ‘Jay’ ‘Bee’ ‘Are’ ‘Eye’ ‘En’ ‘Kay’ ‘Oh’ ‘Eff’” “Ess” “Kay” “Eye”. For those of you who are slow, that’s “JBRINKOFSKI”. “Oh” “Kay”? Anyway, after I did that he asked me this question, no lie, and I have to admit I literally sat there for a second not knowing exactly how to respond…

“Ok, Yason” (His accent is thick), “Can you please spell that out for me, please?”

………………

I’m a nice guy. I just said it again, but I did it slower… you know, just in case I was asked to SPELL IT OUT again.
