I really do try not to be cranky

People really do call us for everything. Forget Google, forget the library; the weekly hometown newspaper must know all. Today, a man called asking if he should be worried because there was a hawk nesting in his yard. I asked him if he had any small animals, and he said no, so I told him to enjoy it. It's a cool bird.
Another guy called today asking how he could place an ad in a network without going through me so he didn't have to pay the commission. I said that I am a salesperson, on commission, and he's asking me to tell him how to do something that would make me money. "Am I saying that?" he asked. "Yes," I replied. D'oh.
It's a good thing there were cookies.
