Or change the narrative and “accidently” spray her with water from the hose in your hand. The pool is instantly forgotten and you have a new “guess what happened?” story to share.
It seems in your instance technology is not the real culprit. Chances are the policy you describe was born of an incident or two, in which someone of imagined importance, or someone that someone knows, didn’t get their call answered quickly. Might also have been a “leader” who read an article or book recommending the 2nd ring thing, regardless of how appropriate for your industry. Solution; answer all calls by 2nd ring; leave actual customer for potential customer (which has to anger almost everyone); and, absolutely destroy everyone’s satisfaction. Even for the person who counts how many times the phone has rung. Sorry, it sounds like a less-than-happy place to work.
Some frozen pizza can be quite tasty, at least as good or better than marginal pizza place stuff. Google frozen pizza comparison reviews and you’ll probably find those brands you like, as well as those you don’t.
Yeah, going with blackjeeplj on this one. Whatever your “party” or feelings regarding current issues, stow them and just let the rest of us read the funnies. We come here to escape, not argue. If you feel compelled to respond with a “yeah, but….” or a “whatabout…” or negative comment about anyone, here’s a big bronx cheer for you, THBBT !!, or raspberry if you prefer.
Tom’s reward for taking care of himself is far superior to most. Haven’t seen the movie yet, but I will. Tom has done some good stuff, despite what Mickey Rourke thinks, and he has done some that’s not so good, but being a hater seems personal and being a fan is a matter of preference.
