Well hi there.

I've been working, reading, exercising, and eating salad.  My writing mojo has left me.  I leave you here today with this exchange from this morning, when I was evidently feeling very cheeky after my scooter ride

[Help Desk Person]:
Good Morning, I'm escalating [ticket]

[PikaPikaChick]:
Ah. Oh... uh... good morning to me, I guess. :/
Thanks, I'm on it.

[Help Desk Person]:
thanks!

[PikaPikaChick]:
Oh wait -- That's a [other company we own] person. You want to contact [coworker] or [other coworker].

[Help Desk Person]:
they aren't in the office yet

[PikaPikaChick]:
I'm about 20 miles away from that office... so I got nothin'.

[Help Desk Person]: 
you are listed under the escalations contacts for the [other company we own] group
ok
well, then i guess they will wait

[PikaPikaChick]:
I could write them a sonnet or talk soothingly on the phone if that would make them feel better.

[Help Desk Person]: 
lol up to you

[PikaPikaChick]:
I think I'll go get a cup of coffee instead. I'm heartless.

[Help Desk Person]: 
ahh, they will be ok, we just want them to have time to get their breakfast and coffee in before they start working today

[PikaPikaChick]:
I like how you spin it.
