Yes I'm here 24/7 to serve you
| posted at 17:35:07 By Flipping Heck! | Posted In Rants |
What is it with people these days? Last night I was working late and had a 'phone call at 6.30pm. 6.30! I'm supposed to finish at five, everyone else leaves at 5 and this guy 'phoned up wanting a fax number. Has he not heard of the Internet?
Did he honestly think that someone would be in the office that late? Normally not even I'm here so it would have been ring...ring...ring...ring..buzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Tonight, same thing (although slightly earlier admittedly) and the bloke on the 'phone sounded surprised when I told him my boss had left for the day. Good job I didn't tell him that he was down the pub.
Common courtesy to me means that you try not to call before 9am and after 5pm as they're office hours.
I wonder how many people call at 8am or 7pm and expect an answer....
Right off now. No sign of the big freeze but I don't want to take any chances. Meant to be meeting 
for drinks later, what fun! 
Argh 
was just about to hit "Post Entry" when the Flipping 'phone went again with some Flipping woman in a Flipping Out-sourced call centre wanting two-Flipping-minutes of my time.
Makes me really angry, and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
