Isn’t it fun when a new person is introduced into the mix? We got a new girl in our office at work. She really came on about six weeks ago but you have to let them settle in a bit to be fair. For all “intensive purposes” I work for a company that is made up of personalities that keep life interesting to say the least. Those who are outside of our office are slowly catching the scent of fresh meat…
Our new girl hasn’t quite learned to decifer the voices of our frequent callers yet! I can promise they are assisting her in doing so rapidly. Until then a laugh a day keeps the doctor away… She has received a variety of different antics thus far. One caller in particular has the ability to manipulate his voice leaving her to believe she is taking calls from multiple people when in fact it is just him. He has asked to speak to people by names that do not belong to them. Leaving her confused and an office full of laughter when she asks how she can connect them. Today she happened to receive a call asking to purchase a do-hickey for a thing-a-ma-bob that can grind smoke (given our industry it could be legit). Very professionally she tried to assist him by asking different questions about the product. He remained firm on stating he was looking for pieces of the machine that allows you to grind smoke and create a real fine substance. Not allowing him to get the better of her she asked the name of such a machine again to no avail as he claims there isn’t one on it. Then she went ahead and let him know she was new and unfamilar with all of our lines. As she began to offer to find him a more knowledgable staff member he felt it was only fair to let her in on the prank. She took it in stride and only called him punk….

Have you ever tried or had others try to pull the wool over your eyes back when you were the fresh meat?
