I just wanted to reach out to you......

[93LXHORSE]

And say that if I hear that phrase again in an email or by phone. I am going to reply back with an asinine comment like "I wanted to reach back to you", or "I am willing to reach into you", or behind you, or over you....

It seems to be a rather trendy thing to say instead of just getting right to the point.

Hi Chris,

Kelly Davis will be reaching out to you to schedule the onsite.

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

no reacharound no care

Just tell them the Boat Story and they will never use the word "reach out" in your presence again.

I hate taking calls at work from the people who like to BS and go through all the pleasantries that no one really gives a fuck about. I purposely avoid answering and jump straight to "how can I help", "or this is what I need". Aint nobody got time for that.

you let me violate you
you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you
you let me complicate you

you let me violate you
you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you
you let me complicate you

I want to reach into you like an animal
I want to reach into you from the inside
I want to reach into you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me to reach into god

Good morning, thank you for calling #$%#$%$% and #%#$#%#, home of the lowest prices this side of the Mississippi, my name in Jane, how may make your day! *warning, phony exclamation point*

Yes amazon is a good company to work for unless the position is commodity and not specialized, else your the first on the chop block if layoffs occur.

[yellowstang]

Would you like it better if they called and said this instead?

It's a technical position I interviewed for a while back. This would be a second interview their asking me to go on. I can't make it because of a business trip I've been scheduled to go on tomorrow.
So they've been reaching out to me via phone and emails all day to schedule for next week.
