Inspirations from cheese in a can. » daily stuff http://easycheese.net joey, kelly, danny, and charlie Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:42:21 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Limbert’s job http://easycheese.net/2011/03/21/limberts-job http://easycheese.net/2011/03/21/limberts-job#comments Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:42:21 +0000 kelly http://easycheese.net/?p=1813 So I was sitting here trying to pick a book to listen to on my iPod. Joey told me he had a few credits on audible.com. I was there, about to check out, when a window popped up offering help with my audible.com experience. I haven’t chatted online with anyone in a while, and it sounded like fun (it truly does not take much). Here is my conversation with Limbert. I kindof want his job.

Thank you for choosing Audible. A representative will be with you shortly.
You are now chatting with Limbert.
Limbert: Thank you for contacting Audible. My name is Limbert, how can I help you today?
You: Hi Limbert. I guess I just wanted to see if you’re really there, and ask what you would suggest for a first time listener.
Limbert: I will be more than happy to assist you with that inquiry.
Limbert: It depends on the books which you like to read or listen to ?
You: Well, Limbert, right now I’m on Book 5 of the Harry Potter series and a little burned out. It’s not my usual style, I don’t guess, but I can’t stop reading it. I’m reading that on my Kindle, and now looking for something to listen to on my iPod.
You: I’m considering Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, but it might be kinda heavy.
You: Are you really there, Limbert?
Limbert: That is a great book to listen to.
You: Have you listened to it?
Limbert: Yes.
You: Oh, okay.
You: I’ve never heard the name Limbert before. I like it. What is the origin of your name?
Limbert: French.
You: Oh, okay. So is it pronounced Lam-bear? ish?
Limbert: Correct.
You: I’m a bored housewife, Limbert. My husband is sitting right here, I’m reading this whole conversation to him, so it’s not like *that* or nothin. It is clear that to me that I need to find some new stimulation in my life.
You: This job you have, how did you come by it? And is it one you can do at your house? I have these children, see. I have this brain and these children.
You: My husband says I should thank you for your time. Thanks, Limbert!
Limbert: Thank you for chatting with Audible.com. We value your feedback. Please click the CLOSE button at top right to answer a few questions about your experience with us today.

He’s so cute I could upchuck. He must sense that and be concerned that I might toss my cookies, because he tries to temper the cute with a new favorite strategy. Lately, he is trying to kill me with his secret weapon: utterly obnoxious defiance. But look! Shortalls! Piggly Wiggly shirt! Sweetest face imaginable! See, it all balances out.

*Sigh* No, you may not have him. I will keep him, new strategy for my demise and all.
