Why yes, I use my degree every day

[kaitou]

Normally I enjoy helping out the Japanese at my company with non work related things. I've helped out at parent-teacher conferences, pediatrician appointments, filling out soccer team applications... but I have to admit that sometimes it's kind of annoying. No sir, I really don't want to help you negotiate your Longaberger Basket Discount. I understand that you only bought so much on your November order so that you could get a discount on your December order (which you then forgot to apply), but I think that trying to get cash back at this point is going to be pretty difficult.


ETA: I was almost finished writing this post when I was pulled away again to write an email about soccer schedules.

ETA2: Grr. Basket call lasted FORTY FIVE MINUTES. And most of it was me not translating the abuse he was hurling at the Longaberger girl. And in the end we just got their customer service number.
Me: I have to go home now.
Him: But will you call them tomorrow morning?
Me: I'd have to get the ok from my boss, I'm not supposed to do non-work things during work hours.
Him: That's ok, we can call during your lunch break.
Me: I'd kind of like to eat then.
