shame is so in this season

wtf?

so there's this woman in my department (and i've talked about her before) who asked me a couple weeks ago for a 2005 calendar (note: end of may/beginning of june) that has large print and one day per page for her mom. i'm not really supposed to order personal items for people, but whatever, if it will get her off my back. so i called the office supply place to figure out what 2005 calendars are left that have large print and one day per page and found one that had to be shipped in from seattle. fine. whatever. i didn't want to deal with this woman anymore so i ordered it despite the ridiculous situation. so it gets here and it's a 2006 calendar (logical, but not accurate). then she tells me that it's the wrong one, pointing to where it says 2006 in large print, and instead of jumping over my cubicle to grab the calendar from her and hit her over the head with it, i offer to call office max back and get her a 2005 calendar that doesn't have large print or one page per day. then she says, "no, my mother needs the large print and one page per day. don't bother, she may not be alive in a couple months." to which i say, "uhh, ok."

who says these things?
