All day long. It’s water torture 21st Century style. I’m going to start confessing things that aren’t even true. “YES! It was me who finished the coffee and didn’t start a new batch! It was me! Now make it stop…pleeeeeeezzzzzze!”

Can I just say for the record: I HATE SPEAKER PHONES! Am I yelling? Why, of course, because that’s what you do with speaker phones, you yell…everybody yells!Discretion must be a thing of the past; like the days of mutton sleeves and ascots. Seriously. Actual telephone conversations on speaker or otherwise that I shouldn’t have heard, but did:

* I’m spotting and in the early stages of menopause…yes, I did and that medicine gave me diarrhea which is worse than the other medicine which made me constipated.
* You say it’s not unusual for you to touch and hug your employees? Right. And you have touched and hugged *so-and-so* on numerous occasions without complaint? On these occasions was it usually with or without porn visible on your computer screen?
* You effing *&%#@ you can’t do this to me! I am divorcing you, so you are no longer allowed to use my country club account! Sadly, I do not lie.
