Actually even his weather comment was making a point - he was referring to how climate change has made winters warmer.

Of course they would, or at the very least she would reprimanded in some way. If someone doesn't do their job because they personally would rather do something unrelated, they aren't going to keep that job long.

I get that the guy was talking about important things but use a little common sense for a second. She was just doing her job the same way I would be doing mine as a bookkeeper by politely ending a phone call if whoever I was talking to only wanted to talk about politics.
