I understand what mansplaining must feel like. Our receptionist overheard that I'm working on a newspaper ad and proceeded to give me tips on how to make it better and things she has learned about buying advertising from newspapers. Midstream, she caught herself and said "I probably don't need to tell you this" and noticed that I was slowly shaking my head no. ...And then she went on for another 5 minutes.

You should engage her in a basic hello/how's your weekend conversation for a minute or so, but look slightly up and over her shoulder. When she adjusts and moves into your view, say "hold on, something is up here" tap your ear bud and say "yes? can I help you?" to her.

That was a year ago and we have a new receptionist and my desk faces her general direction so she thinks I'm listening when in fact I only tune in when she takes a breath then starts up again "...but anyway..." and off she goes again.

Our receptionist is very chatty this morning and she doesn't have any other targets yet.

People who run air conditioners when the temp drops into the 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s and even 20s.
As if we could ever tackle global warming...unless of course there is a nuclear solution.
I worked for a guy MANY years ago who would have the heat & air conditioning running simultaneously.

I send an email with a question.
Company responds with more questions.
I clarify, with screenshots.
Company escalates problem.
I repeat scenario with new higher level tech support.
They call and walk me through the steps to solve the problem.
Now it's happening again and I need to know how to fix it and did I write down the answer? I did not. My email trail is useless!
I think you need to back a pickup truck into the pole where the fiber optic cable is.
