GET OFF MY PHONE!!!
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Work
I had a rather fun phone call the other day at work. Went something like this:

I go through my opening schpeel, and the caller gives me his name, age, & address in about 5 or 6 seconds...I guess he thought that I'm a speed writer! Anyway, he then proceeds to give me his 5 minute story on why he called...now we have a target talk time goal of 5 minutes total...so this guy's story already has me over time for the call. But then when I was trying to give him a web address and search term...it took 4 minutes to get him to understand and properly spell the word "tutorial"!!!

I said it the first time, and he responded "pictorial?" I responded "no tutorial"...then there was a pause, so spelled it phonetically, "Tango...Uniform...Tango...Oscar...Romeo...Igloo...Alpha...Lima". Now he responded "tucorial?" and he even said "Tango...Uniform...Charlie..." At this point I put my head in my hands and just wanted to cry! It took me the rest of the four minutes to get him to get it right.

I just love calls like that! <----that was extreme sarcasm in case you didn't know
