If the phone rings before I'm off-shift I think I'm just going to scream "Have you no respect for the DEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAD?!?!" and hang up.
Update:
First customer issue has been definitively proven to be a network issue that they have to fix, and not our fault.
I managed to get the Big Important Customer on the meeting with Development, and the issue was resolved after multiple hours - but it IS resolved.
The third customer conference call.... was not great, but at least our response of "we need more information to help" was acceptable. It helps that the customer royally fucked up internally when collecting the info we asked for.
Guess who fucked up last night and didn't invite the (already frustrated) Big Important Customer to the troubleshooting meeting with Dev today?
At least that's only one out of three big important customer conference calls that I fucked up on? One is already successful at least. The third won't be great. :/
@mawr I can't guarantee they actually do it, but in theory it's very possible with a lot of small straws!
@mawr There are attachments you can buy that are supposed to do this!
@anthracite Oh, this is me thinking of exit strategies more than anything else.
Mind you, I really do wish my job was a lot less interesting than it is, sometimes. I could do with less excitement in general from my workplace.
@Phorm Wait, hang on, I'm pretty sure I saw this at like 2am when I was in college

@zetasyanthis *offers several hugs*
@starkatt Oh hell yes, do it
@mawr What, at this time of year? At this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?
"Does it matter to you?" the dragon asked.
"Not at all," the princess said, "but it matters to him."
"If this prince thinks he can only prove his worth and manhood by fighting a dragon, he needs education, not my indulgence."
"Please!"
"Find another."
"Another dragon?"
"Prince."

Rare coastal dragoness, often found by sunny sea cliffs. Nonbinary but fairly femme-leaning. If you're under 18 don't follow.
