The Batteries

Batteries routinely fail Sol, and he wants you to know that he's mad as hell! There are some days when Sol can not make it through an entire phone call without the battery of whatever phone he happens to be using failing. This typically occurs when he is on a technical support call, and exponentially increases the rage he is already feeling.

Sol's cellphone is routinely discharged. This is because the crappy cordless phone that is close to his workspace loses battery power within 10 minutes of use, forcing Sol to use his personal phone. Then, hours spent attempting to explain things to clients causes his cellphone to die. It is at this point that he begins mutter things under his breath like, "we need an onsite psychiatrist," and "I have dolly envy." What does that even mean?!

Sol will be forever in your debt if you follow him around with a cellphone charger. If this is not possible for you, and you need to get on his good side, you should simply turn your cellphone off and tell him that your battery died.

Someone should develop a fund to supply Sol with batteries forever. Maybe that would lessen Sol's hatred, and thus make the world a better place.

Who uses a cordless phone at work? How come he gets a cordless phone. I would love the fact that my phone would hang up on anyone after I have been on the phone with them for over 10 minutes. Heck, Tommy J disconnects people in mid-scentence quite often, simulating what Sol goes thru daily.

Consider the issue a blessing and there cannot be as much hatred involved!!!
