Talk About Mercury Retro… Oh The Pain
Astrology in real life
The soldier is in one of the areas where they’ve lost power… just found out he’s going to be stuck 24 hours at least (Mercury retrograde)…
“So I was talking to my dispatcher and he’s saying this and I’m saying that and then we’re gonna hang up and I said, okay, love ya,” he said the way he said it to me.
“Oh no!” I said, my face turning bright red.
“Yeah, I just told my dispatcher I love him, see what you’ve done? Damn you, P, you’ve got me all soft.”
I roared.
“Yeah, hell. Now I’ve got my tail between my legs. Love ya. Love. Ya. LOVE. YA…”

ROFL!!
Why is that painful? Where I come from all the older women call men “my lover”, as in a guy goes into a shop and the woman says to him, “what can I do for you my lover?
Totaly normal, and (I might add) recommended..
Dont be too hard on yourself Elsa. I dont really see much in it. Unless the dispatcher shows up with flowers. A dispatcher knows about phone conversations.

Sonia, my husband would screech to a halt in his tracks if a woman called him “my lover”, lol. And if I happened to be with him he would sware up and down to me “I do not know this woman!!!”
Kingsley, it is the soldier who embarrassed himself, why in the flying fuck must you always help and reassure me when I need no help and reassurance? What is it that makes you obviously intelligent man, look at me and go insane??, a
Ut Oh. This one is flying right over my head. Sooooooooo, can we say that is the first time? Nupe!!! Oh well!
Oh I get it now…Hah! Hah! Hah! Wow, Elsa, you really HAVE softened him up.
that reminds me of the time my boss called our dispatcher babe. he was mortified and we still tease him about it!
Do you wish me to trash you instead. What is wrong with a little nurturing tone Elsa? You got something against that? So the Soldier was embarrased and you ripped a piece of yourself?
such is life

wow, i dont think i’ve ever consciously felt the mercury retrograde as strongly as i did this year. The one day my midterm examinations were scheduled, my university’s website ( which basically has ALL of our academic info ) was down. I don’t know if the fact that my chart is saturn ruled would make the mercury retrograde ( in capricorn ) more significant but it’s been taking a toll on me the entire week ( argh, and on msn messenger, i would keep getting these intermittent errors that my msg couldn’t be sent– when my internet connection was perfect and i’d hadn’t encountered this problem before )
Even dispatchers need love…….
Okay, I don’t mean to be at all rude, but I am laughing at the interaction between Kingsley and Elsa. It’s just very funny to me! Kingsley, don’t get me wrong, I love it that you are here and I also like your blog. And Elsa, you know I love you. I’m just smiling over here in my corner of the universe..
Oh the poor soldier. I’ve done that, too - blown kisses over the phone at someone who was NOT in any way shape or form someone I’d smooch on. I’m giggling but I have a tiny inkling of the sitch.
Maybe you have something going on about receiving reassurance Elsa? I am sure that I said it in a genuine manner. I am ok you getting angry with me but please refrain from inferring that I am confused along with you.

Kingsley, there is no need a rasassure me because if you read the post and de-confuse yourself, you will see that it is the soldier who is embarrassed and me amused.
Also this is my blog your not office and you’re in no position to tell me what I should or should not refrain from doing.
Further you have a pattern of assigning me pathology that does belong to me. We have been through this before and I don’t have much patience. I just literally have no motivation to put up with it so if you can’t come up with a boundary, you should expect I’ll do it for you.
PixieDust - oh ho you made me laugh so hard with the “even dispatchers” Thanks for the funny.
It kind of reminds me of some of my work that happens over the net on instant messenger. Very often I’ll have three or more conversations at once and will click between them but sometimes I miss, type and hit enter and the WRONG message goes out to the wrong bunch of people. Who then reply with a “HUNH” and then you explain - wrong window and everyone goes “oh I know that mistake” it is surprisingly common and can lead to some really funny interactions.
*sigh*
that is funny. 
even now, six years later, every time i pickup a phone with a normal ring i have to stop myself from greeting it with the script from a certain retail store i used to work at…
“Ah, he probably didn’t even hear you,” I told the soldier.
“He heard me!”
I laughed.
“Yeah, fuckin’ A he heard me. I work hard on my image and now it’s ruined!!
Much laughter. Poor, Poor, Poor soldier.
On top of that, the dispatcher is a “college boy from a good neighborhood who has never been in a scrape in his life…”
elsa you’re poisoning him with love! LOL!

I’ve done this at work. The only person I really talk to on the phone OUTSIDE of work is the mister, so “I love you” is just second nature when it comes to hanging up the phone!
