yes. yes that was a stupid question.

our office manager is out of town until tuesday which of course means that i am the office manager until tuesday.

i don't want to get into it.

but as the "'til tuesday office gal", i just had the best phone conversation of my life...

me: hello, **** chocolates.
chick (teenagerish sounding): hi. this may be a stupid question but i was wondering if you could send me a free box of chocolates.
me: um... are with any, like, um... just because?
chick: ya.
me: ... why?
chick: because i want to give them to my dad for father's day and i'm broke.
me: [stifled laughter]
chick: sooo...
me: i don't think we can do that.
chick: ...
me: sorry.
chick: ...
me: we mostly do our donations to the local hospital. and during the summer we really don't ship out our chocolate anyways.
chica: [defeated] ok.
me: [not very well stifled laughter] but good luck with that.
