I'm THAT Jorge...

Flawless babble from the single most important human being ever to walk the earth.

Slowly becoming more comfortable with who I am now, enabling others to slowly accept that I’ll never be THAT Jorge again.

Conversation With Moving Company

Me: Hi. Just wanted to check and see why no one is at my house. Someone was supposed to be here at 10am. It's now 12:15.

Him: No problem, sir. Can I get your name?

Me: Jorge Parrales

Him: Parrales, Parrales, Parrales. Spelling?

Me: P-a-r-r-a-l-e-s

Him: (After several minutes) Mr. Parrales, I can't seem to find your move on here. Are you sure it was with us?

Me: It most certainly is with you. You're the company I've used for my last three moves. I have a contract here from you guys that says you'll be out here at 10am. Would you like me to read you my move number? (Read him the #)

Him: Huh... There you are.

Me: THERE I AM!

Him: Well, Mr. Parrales, we've got a pretty full schedule today. It's gonna be some trouble to fit you in.

Me: Oh, no big deal. WOULDN'T WANT TO TROUBLE YOU!

Him: Sorry, I guess that's not the answer you're looking for. I think I might be able to get some guys to do some overtime for you in the evening. It's just that we called you yesterday to confirm the move and you didn't answer, so...

Me: You're making that up. I have absolutely no missed calls, no voicemails, or anything of the sort. What I do have is a copy of the contract I signed and faxed to your company that says you would be out here this morning. I also have ALL of the email exchanges between myself and Jennifer, who confirmed receipt of the contract and whose last email to me says, "Thanks, Mr Parrales! Our guys will be out there on Tuesday morning!" So are you really going to tell me that I failed to do MY PART?! Is that really what's happening here?

Him: Well, no. Maybe not. We might have just overlooked your booking. But like I said, I can get some guys out there tonight, I'm sure.

Me: Oh, tonight! That's perfect! I tell you what. You make it a free move, I'll be more than happy to tip your workers generously, and I'll go ahead and agree to getting moved 10 hours later than I was supposed to.

Him: Mmmmm, I'm not sure we can do that.

Me: Yeah, sorry for all the trouble. I AM asking a lot. Bye.
