“What fresh hell is this?”
A line attributed many times to Shakespeare but actually it’s from American author/critic/poet and wit Dorothy Parker. She is reported to have exclaimed “What fresh hell is this?” when her train of thought was interrupted by a telephone. She then started using it in place of “hello” when answering the phone or a knock at her door.In many ways she can be considered the patron saint of all tech support workers. (Hat Tip)
And patron saint, too, of all people who work at home — especially those of us who need to answer anyway in case it’s one of the kids.
Yeah I know: “Must get caller ID… “
