However there are people within my said life that only show up for a blip but it makes me want to beat them over the head with... well... a piano. Lets start off shall we?
Today on the phone with someone:
Me: "Blah blah blah this is Taylor" (To protect others and me I have changed my title to blah blah blah)
Them: "When is your back-to-school night?"
Me: "Ummm I'm sorry I don't think I understand your question"
Them: "You know.. back-to-school night"
Me: "Umm still no clue"
Them: "When do summer classes start?"
Me: "May 16th and July 6" (I gave her the correct dates but I am not sure if these ones are right)
Them: "Nothing later?.... Okay thanks!" click...
*phone rings*
Me: "Blah blah blah this is Taylor" (To protect others and me I have changed my title to blah blah blah)
Them: "Yeah when is Fall back-to-school night?"
Me: "I'm sorry we don't do back-to-school nights"
Them: "When do fall classes start?"
Me: "August 23"
Them: "k thanks" click
Okay... First off... this is college... we don't have back-to-school nights... I tried to tell her that we have alternatives but she wouldn't listen, I don't honestly think she knew what she was talking about... in turn making me sound like I have no clue what I was talking about... Best thing I can say is... I tried lady, I really did...
When dealing in customer service you are bound to get a few people who you want to clobber with... a piano.. but you can't you can just smile and wave. Which is prolly better in the long run, less jail time and what not.
Then I have my new creep patron dude... I have NEVER seen this kid before... and he just kind of appeared out of nowhere whilst I was eating my meatloaf. I stand up and cover my mouth and ask him:
Me: "What can I help ya with" (common library greeting with smile.. unless I am eating then cover my mouth and ask.
Him: "Whatcha eating?"
Me: Stunned... "what am I eating... oh yeah meatloaf!"
Him: "is it good?" (by now I am thinking I should give him some because the way he is asking it's like I am eating quail or something)
Me: "yeah it's okay"
Him: "Oh I just need the math exams"
Me: "Okay here you go" (By now I don't bother to check them out to him I just want him gone.. I want my meatloaf!)
*copier breaks*
Me: "It's having a bad day, let try to copy it this way"
Him: "Oh man that's cool" (okay... stop thinking you want my job...... please...)
*copier still doesn't work*
Me: "Well I trust you enough to go to the other building with these and make copies" (Anything to make you go away?)
Him: "You want me to leave you my ID or something so you know I will come back?" (At this point you could leave me that lint in your pocket, steal my exams I just don't want to deal with you, you took interest in my dinner... like... a really large interest in my dinner..... like you wanted to go out with it kind of dinner...)
Me: "Nah I trust you"
Him: "Okay"
So it ended up he couldn't get his money back so he stayed and made a copy of a different exam instead... He isn't here anymore... and I did get to eat my dinner... Don't get me wrong he was a nice guy he just took a bit too much interest in my meatloaf. Next he would have wanted my yogurt.
In the end it turns out today has just kinda been... well.. weird... Maybe I should vlog or something... but it takes me so long to think up witty things that I should prolly just type them out anyways. Hopefully I will come back with more witty repartee soon!
It seems to me that this blogger.com blog is attracting strange commenters... that are in chinese or japense... I can't read them...
