Re: Bah!

Nope. Fluent in US English and not blind or color-blind (I edited out about two thirds of the questionnaire for brevity).

I've never figured it out.

I had another guy call me after I was relieved of ticket duty.

Him: "I need to speak to Consultant McQuitface"

Me: "I'm sorry, he no longer works here."

Him: "Well I need to speak to him about an urgent ticket."

Me: "Well, as I said, he no longer works here."

Him: "This ticket is urgent!"

Me: "Well, I haven't worked the ticket system myself for six months and he had a backlog of another six, so it can't have been that urgent"

Him: "I really need to speak to Consultant McQuitface"

Me: "He doesn't work here any more."

HIm: "I Really need to speak to him."

Me: "Mr Consultant McQuitface no longer works here. He quit. He walked offsite with no warning."

Him: "...are YOU Consultant McQuitface?"

I was so blindsided by this I completely neglected to do what I normally do in such situations and yell "YES! YES I AM AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" and slam down the phone. All I could do was hang up on yet another Call from the Twilight Zone.
