"Good morning, IT-helpdesk, this is Erin speaking."
"WHO speaking?"
"This is Erin."
"ERIN??"
"Yes, E-R-I-N."
"What a lovely name! Are you Dutch, or what are you?"
"Yes, I'm Dutch...?"
"Gosh! Well I don't know that name at all, but I do think it's beautiful. And if a beautiful name fits with a beautiful lady, so much the better!"
"Yes..."
"But I don't know you at all."
"No..."
"Have you been working for this company for long?"
"About a year."
"Oh, so you're still only a newbie! I've been working here for 21 years already... I'm an old fart!
"..."
"Anyway, I wanted to tell you that there's a problem with my computer."
"Can I have your computer-number?"
"Oh! I'll go and have a look. Will you wait for me?"
"Of course."
"..."
"..."
"And, have you waited for me?"
"I have."
"She waited for me!"

This one is so damn hilarious!
ReplyDeleteBut how many of your calls are actually fun and noteable, and how many are dull/boring/easy?
Most are actually pretty boring, but I get enough weird ones that I have a backlog of entrees I haven't posted yet because I don't want to post more than two a day :P
DeleteMostly it's people who can't log on to their account because they entered a wrong password tree times in a row or can't change their passwords. Oh and outlook doing weird stuff. That happens a lot. Then there's the really interesting ones where you get to figure out some sort of freak problem, but those aren't very interesting to post about...
