why i'm paid the big bucks


“Lisa, it’s Brett on line 1 for you.”

“Shit. Brett, the director Brett?”

“Yeah.”

“This can't be good...... Hello?”

“Lisa, what the fuck are you doing to me?”

“I don’t know Brett, what am I doing to you?”

“I don’t have a window seat. I’ve told you before that I have to have a fucking window seat. Don’t waste my time Lisa. Now I’m not getting on the plane.”

“Brett, I had you in a window seat on your flight yesterday but when you changed at the last minute, you took the last seat on this flight today. They couldn’t assign the seat until check-in.”

“But don’t waste my fucking time. If I had known that I didn’t have a window seat I wouldn’t have come all the way to the airport to NOT get on a plane. It’s a total waste of my time. In the future, just tell me I don’t have a window seat and I can stay home.”

“Okay, but – “

“You know I fucking am afraid to fly and I HAVE to have a window seat so I can see where I’m going.”

“Let me call the travel agent and see what I can do.”

“Forget it. The rep here is working on it.”

“I’m sure the rep will be able to get you a window seat. That’s why we hire and pay a special representative to check you in. I’m sure you’ll be able to fly.”

“I’m not so sure. We’ll see.”
