A phone call with a client named Jimmy keeps cutting out and going silent. Speaker B tries repeatedly to get Jimmy to confirm when his stroke happened, finally getting the answer: 2003. The call shows the frustration of remote client work when the connection falls apart.
What year was the stroke again, Jimmy?
It was over 5 years ago. So you say 2003 or 2023? Jimmy, you still hear me, brother? Hey Jimmy, did you stop listening to me? Hey Jimmy, hopefully you didn't fall asleep on me, bro. Hey Jimmy, holy guacamole. Hey Jimmy, he's literally here, but he's not.
Your call has been forwarded.
Hey Jimmy, you there now? Oh damn, there you go. You hear me now? Hey Jimmy. You hear me, Jimmy?
Hello?
Hey bud, you stopped being able to hear me. I don't know if you muted it or what. You hear me now? Now you're good. All right, hey, quick question just to confirm. What year was the stroke?
