I have some nutjob calling me several times a day trying to "schedule an appointment" to ask me if his drug plan covers medicines that he does not need/has not been prescribed.

"Alright soooooo I saw this Latuda commercial on TV.  What if I wanna take dat?  Will this plan pay fah it or am I gonna have tah use my hard earned money?!"
Sounds like he may need it.


My wife is on it, shits expensive with no plan yo, I got a plan but it's nuts in some cases without

Article is good except the use of the word grift.  Replace with swindle.  Grift is a word rarely used before this year, but since people googled what it meant they throw it around like crazy now.

4 people used the term grifting before 2020.  Now 98% of twitter recycles it.

Add "sounding the alarm" to the list of overused terms.

People who respond to your email requesting they do something important and them responding to you with some variation of "Will do."

How about do it and respond with a "Done"?

Because they might have other things to do right now that are more important, but don't want you to think that they're ignoring you. Feels like you're complaining either about them being courteous, or them not considering anything you ask to automatically be more important than anything else they have on.

My boss wants me to reply to every email request from her twice, an acknowledgement of the task and a completion of the task.

One of my previous bosses at this office didn't like that I wasn't replying to every email despite the fact I was doing the work.

That's incredibly stupid.

Why waste time writing an "I'll get to it" email when you could actually be getting to it?
