I can't take it anymore

Ring Ring

Animal: Hello?

JD: It's me.

Animal: (silence)

JD: you know what just happened to me?

Animal: (silence)

JD: I just threw up and it came out of my nose.

Animal: good.

JD: Yeah, anyways, you want to know why?

Animal: (silence)

JD: You made it to the list of the 21 HR leaders in web 2.0 that people must follow.

Animal: Thats right and you know what else?

JD: What?

Animal: (pause) Did you hear that?

JD: Hear what?

Animal: Come a little closer to the phone.

JD: I'm listening.

Animal: (Screams) JAY DEE, I'M THE RECRUITING ANIMAL AND EVERYONE KNOWS I DESERVE TO BE ON THAT LIST. I'M THE MOST INFLUENTIAL RECRUITER ON TWITTER AND NOW I'M TAKING OVER HR AND THE FACT THAT I NEVER EVER HAVE MORE THAN 5 PEOPLE LISTEN TO MY RADIO SHOW MEANS NOTHING.

JD: are you done?

Animal: Screw You.

JD: Click.

Animal: JAY DEE!!

Comment by Dan Nuroo on October 26, 2009 at 11:54pm: Is it weird that i can actually hear that conversation, even when it's written down?

Comment by Caitrin O'Sullivan on October 27, 2009 at 9:50am: This is hysterical.

Thanks so much for referencing my post, Slouch, I appreciate it!! Animal, I'm glad to hear you assumed you'd make the list; I'd expect nothing else. You both deserve to be there.

I don't think I've spoken with either of you on the phone, yet, but this is nice prep for when I do of what to expect.
