Another month, another project, another new employee.
This month's sucker is AnnoyingOldGuy. Somewhere in his fifties (yes, it's old, deal with it), he's part of the new sales promotion we've got going. He calls clients, organises installs, sorts out dates, and REALLY FUCKING ANNOYS ME.
One day, while we're having email problems - it could be any day, they all seem to mesh together now - he calls me on the phone. He has the habit of calling me up and not telling me the problem, rather preferring to explain it in person, like it's so complicated that the low bandwith of a telephone could not possibly handle this problem's complexity.

AnnoyingOldGuy: "Are we having email problems still?"
Me: "Yup, it'll be fixed soonish though."
AOG: "This reminds me of my old company, where we-"
Me: "Gotta go bye!" (He's a storyteller, bores me to tears)
*30 mins pass*
AOG: "I've got an email, why?!"
Me: "Because...someone sent one to you?"
AOG: "But you said email was down!"
Me: "...my job is to fix things, you know."

Should I be offended? That he was surprised that things are actually working? :(
