Don’t leave me hangin’ on the telephone…

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

Rrrrrring…..

I am the only person here. Our nice-but-incredibly-pointless receptionist has gone to the dentist, so I’m answering the phones.

“Good Morning, [my organisation]”

Loooong pause. “Hello.”

“Hello, how can I help you?”

“I was just wondering did you get the email I sent?”

“Who is this?”

“Did you get the email I sent?”

“I don’t know. Who are you?”

“Borris.” Goody. I don’t know who he is.

“Who did you send it to?”

“The lady who gave me the email address.”

“Which email address was it?”

“It began with an E.”

“Oh, ok. Let me just check. Yep, we have it.”

“I have the certificate, and the thing.”

“(??) Jolly good. That’s great. Anything else I can help you with?”

“No.”

Beeeeeeep.

“Bye then. Call again soon.”
