Dearest The FriendBots,

I want to find a way to download and save my text messages from my phone to my computer. I have a Samsung A900 cell phone, and Sprint is my provider. Can any of you tell me how to make this happen?

Love,

The trista

A five-hour phone conversation with penghuin was a fabulous way to end my day.

murnkay: Yeah, I think all my pirate connections have dried up.

trista: *dies laughing*

I'm sitting here at my desk, happily moving through the tasks on my list. I'm currently planning Green Grazing Week, our St Patrick's Day event, which requires that I order the potato bar from our favorite potato-providing restaurant and decide which Irish foods and which not-Irish-but-green foods my coworkers must bring in to share. I love being ( Read more... )

I meant to call shinigumi last night but didn't get to it. I'll be calling her tonight to ask about paperweight transformation options. I miss my computer. I can turn it on, but after about two minutes it turns itself right back off. Dear god, that is so frustrating. It's teasing me, the bastard. And not in a good way.

I have been communicating, as buscemi ( Read more... )

My phone is set on ring and vibrate, so it vibrates twice before the ringing starts, and trying to answer before the ring gets me nowhere. So I did the usual wait, wait, answer ( Read more... )

Me: Good morning, TechieFirm. This is The trista.
Caller: This is Mary Jo.
*pause*
Me: Um. Huh. Can I...help...you?
Caller: *shriek*
Me: *shriek* Hallo, dawnshine.

She sounds just like me. Srsly. Our parents cannot tell our voices apart. You'd think I'd realize it was her, wouldn't you? Ah, the memoriesI should have asked if I could ( Read more... )

Phone conversation, as relayed to me by coworker J:

*ring ring*

J: Good morning, TechieFirm.
Caller: Is The trista there?
J: It's 6:30. In the morning. She won't be in till later.
Caller: Why are you answering her phone?
J: Um.
Caller: Who are you? Are you the maintenance guy?
J: No, I work here. Do you want to leave a message for The trista ( Read more... )

I am amazed by the number of people who end business calls with "Buh bye." Even worse is "Buh bye now."

I am the first to admit that in casual situations I abuse the holy hell out of the English language.

• I drop the Gs off of most of my -ings. "I got nothin'." No G and terrible grammar!
• I use horrible, terrible, awful cliches and slang ( Read more... )

I'm talking to my nephew right now. This kid cracks me up.

Matthew: Hi, Aunt trista. My mom is being awful.
