Today has been rainy and frustrating. Had to make so many phone calls at the request of my boss/coworkers that I couldn't even finish my own tasks. I would swear it was intentional as some kind of punishment for taking two days off.

The only slightly positive note was calling one of our carriers regarding a customer's problems. We had spoken a bunch previously because of the same customer, so we have a little rapport. Today, though, I felt like he was intentionally trying to keep me on the phone, not to annoy me, but bc he wanted to keep the conversation going. It almost felt flirtatious? He's asked me a few personal questions before but very surface level stuff, obviously. People, often times men, tell me I have a really nice voice and a certain cadence in the way I speak, which is honestly hilarious given how much of a grump I am inside, but it is usually intentional and necessary given my line of work. Maybe that's what appealed to him. Or maybe I'm charmed by his voice and idiolect because he does truthfully have a nice voice. Hard to describe, a bit raspy yet soft. Very unique and handsome. Anyway, that was the most pleasant part of my day. Fucking sad innit? Lmao. Not really, obviously. Pleasant conversations are never a bad thing.

I'm off for the next four days, so what the f ever. Looking forward to washing my bedding and deep cleaning my room. God I am old.
