Sheena And The Card Game Realization
I was chatting with a friend, Sheena, today. I was reminiscing about my time working at a call center. I told the story about how I was playing Uno with a co-worker while taking a call. The caller was yelling and screaming like crazy over a late fee he received for being two weeks late with his payment for like the 5th time. I felt myself getting aggravated with the caller so I went to hit mute to take a breather so I didn't call the man an idiot. I explained to the caller I would need to talk to my manager, yes it was a lie, but I needed a moment and I didn't have a Twix. On my phone there were three buttons along the bottom one was for hold, one was for mute, and one was worthless and did nothing. I punched a button, looked down at my hand, and shouted "UNO", I never came close to beating this co-worker at Uno ever, and I was pumped. Needless to say I wasn't on mute and the caller asked, "Your managers name is Uno?". Thinking fast on my feet I said, "Oh that's just a nickname, Uno, you know like he's number one", yes yes another lie, this was a naughty day for me.
So I concluded my story chuckling about my stupid mistake in hitting the worthless button instead of the mute button, when Sheena's eyes grew wide. You could tell a light bulb had just clicked on. "Oh my gosh," Sheena says. "Uno and the number one, like you have one card left". I just stared at her for a second, she's 21 and never made the connection? Really? I was laughing so hard I nearly choked on my Lemonberry Slush. So just so everyone is clear the name of the game is UNO, you call that out when you have ONE card left, get it? Good. To Sheena, I love you, bless your heart, and thank you for being a good sport about knowing this was making it's way onto my sight. You are to good to me, and this was to good of a story not to share.
