💩 Shit I just heard in my office
-
Hey, we don't even speak the same language everywhere here! Have you ever been to Texas?
Filed under: This is bait. I just don't know who/what I'm baiting

It's all gibberish to me anyway.

He keeps calling it

I had a printout of quotes from clients from when my sister worked in call centers.
One of them was a client who kept saying "Masturbishi".
-
Ha, paging @drfreud

Contractor just took a phone call, then looked up at me.
"Um... I have to go pick up someone... who accidentally went to the ghetto."
-
This fucking moron still thinks I'm going to see 2001: A Space Odyssey in the UK because I mentioned that I liked the trailer.
(Just read this, because I found the thread and wanted to say something relevant to the topic, but then saw this turd @blakeyrat left.)
Obviously by then I knew you weren't because you said so.

"I need to spend all morning studying for a training session I am giving at noon".
I'm putting words into her mouth but that's essentially what she does every time she gives a training session: spends up to a couple of days "preparing". None of the other trainers need to do that--and she shouldn't, either, as she's been here 14 years. The strong suspicion is that it's her way of getting out of actually working.
-
Someone just called--I googled the name afterwards, it appears to be some kind of "we'll locate a site for your new office" company--saying she needed to talk to [the CEO] or [the owner]. Well, this is the wrong number to call for that, lady. I gave her the corporate office number, but I can't imagine she'll get right through to them unless they were expecting her.
Oh, except I just remembered they are in Texas today, but they're in Houston and I'm in Dallas, so it's a bit far to yell.

Is she doing any new material each time? New stuff takes way more effort than giving the same old thing again. (That's why teaching is so hard on some lecturers and professors: the new material takes a mountain of effort to do…)

I get a lot of those at work, too. I usually just put them on hold for a couple minutes, then say CEO isn't available, can I take a message?
I also know when the company is prepping to do a tradeshow. We will always****strong text get phone calls like this:
Caller: "Hi, I'm Amellia calling about TradeShow USA. Can I talk to the person in charge of your booth, please?"
Me: "Did you say you're calling about TradeShow USA, or from TradeShow USA?
Caller: "I'm Amellia, calling about Trade Show USA. Is the person in charge of your booth available?"
I'm certain they're just trolling through the list of "exhibitors who will be at TradeShow USA!!!" and cold calling. Again, hold and "take a message". I should fuck around with them more.
Me: "Person in charge of the booth? Did you mean Janet?"
Caller: "Yes, Janet."
Me: "She died fro her injuries yesterday. Are you calling from TradeShow USA's insurance company? We really need you to expedite the WSIB forms."

That was not an awful song! It was avant-garde!

CNSSTFYThe CEO of the company was in Texas on that day, but in a different city than frost cat, so the caller had the correct state but the wrong city. My assumption it's that the head-office he directed the caller to it's located in a different state altogether.
Ducking Swype. Sorry about all the it'ses.

The cold calls I used to love were from web design companies.
"Can I speak to the CEO or the person in charge of making decisions about your web presence?"
"That would be me, I am the principal of the LLC."
"Well, I wanted to talk to you about how we can improve your website and your web presence."
"Yeah, I am just going to cut you off there. This is a sale that you are not going to make. We are a technology company, and we did our website and in order for you to sell me you are going to have to tell me that we did a shitty job and then I am just going to hang up on you."
-hangs up-

I must not understand avant-garde then....
But I get how, it would be like, all expected, and suburban and boring, and bourgeois to wait seven more days so your reply would be, um, seven months****expressive-text old ... so, hey, very avant-garde of you.
I suppose.

Just heard this at the office..... i'm pretty sure he was serious.
When do the Lakers play the Packers at Wimbledon? I heard that since Manchester United defeated the Panthers that should leave the way clear for the Lakers to sign Tiger Woods and take the ashes at Winbledon.
i mean he could be joking, but this is coming from a guy who is pretty universally described around the office as "X does not have any sense of humour whatsoever. Do not attempt jokes. They will backfire."
-
What if that was a long con the whole time? If sounds like he just skated past the defense and hit a home dunk.
-
-
Maybe you're the humorless one.

i'm pretty sure he was serious.
No way was he serious.
universally described around the office as "X does not have any sense of humour whatsoever "
Well this stacks up without him being serious. It wasn't funny.
-

No maybe I'M the humorless one.
Wait, let me try again.
No maybe that LEGLESS GUY is the humerus one-- no, wait that makes so sense since he wouldn't have that bone.
ummm...
DISCOURSE! Eh? Eh?
