A SAD LITTLE CONVERSATION

Ah, memories. ‘Da sikaurai is slightly hung-over and waxing nostalgic. Heh. OMIGOD. The insurance job. YES. I used to work for a Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance program, operating as a first-level medical claims adjuster. Yaoikiss101 and I laughed ourselves sick on IM last night, reminiscing over one particular memory during our days together, chained to our cubicles… The following conversation revolves around what REALLY happens at the call center while your doctor is inquiring on your bill for your last stay in the hospital… YK101: *breezes into room holding tray filled with Starbuck’s lattes* Good morning, ladies, how was everyone’s evening? *motions to neighbor* What are you reading, dearie? Andrea: Fruits Basket. It’s really cute. YK101: *rolls eyes* Aren’t you a little old for that sort of thing? Andrea: No….ha, look. *holds up paperback* It’s all about these people that turn into animals whenever they’re hugged by the opposite gender…and then, when they turn back into their human selves, they’re NAKED! YK101: Oh, god, darlin’, that sounds positively scandalous. Andrea: It’s cute. Sikaurai: Speaking of naked, where’s my last page? That manga I’m working on? Andrea: *face once again in book* Last time I saw it, it was making its way through Blue Cross Alabama… Sikaurai: That’s down the hall! I’ll never get it back at this rate. YK101: Honey, you better make sure administration doesn’t catch you with pornographic material on the property. *neighboring co-worker*: pornographic? Who’s got porn up in this joint? Andrea: *sikaurai*’s making a dirty manga *neighboring co-worker*: Sweet! Can I see it? Sikaurai: Hell, yeah. I made copies…*rifles through papers on desk* UH OH. YK101: *sing-song* What’s wrong, darling? Sikaurai: I don’t have the original. Oh, god… *everyone looks up at copier across the room* Sikaurai: Shit, it’s still in the copying machine. YK101: OH GOD, the receptionist is pulling something out of the machine! *everyone bursts into horrified giggles* YK101: Thank you for calling Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield….please hold…*slaps the mute button* You are never getting that page back, dearie. Sikaurai: I hope I didn’t put my name on that… shit. I better get those other copies back. *nearest supervisor*: *YK101*! You’re on hold for three minutes! Check back, now! YK101: *mutters* Cram it, douchebag. *louder now* I swear to god, someday, I’m just going to go horrifically postal if I have to work here too much longer… Andrea: *YK101*, do you know you took your finger off the mute button? That day, I was written up and Yaoikiss101 was hauled into the administrative office for a monitored call that had gone bad…yeah, THAT one. Lucky bastard. Heh heh. Okay, well, I’m off to my deviantART account to spread some more perversion. And by the way, I have some more art that needs some love. Everybody have a fantabulous day!
