I work a job that requires a lot of talking on the phone and I can not for the life of me figure some people out! For example; I had this woman call in looking to schedule a pick up (I work in a traffic office and NO – I am not a dispatcher!) This was our conversation:
(* please note that all names and places have been altered to ensure client confidentiality)
Me: Ok, name of the company your freight is going to?
Her: It’s picking up from…
Me: …ok… and what’s the name of the company your freight’s going to?
Her: Going to?
Me: Yea, where’s it going?
Her: It’s going to California.
Me: What’s the name of the company?
Her: My company? It’s…
Me: No, what’s the name of the company your freight’s going to?
Her: OH! (haha) It’s going to …
Me: (yea – really not that funny…) ok thanks and what was your company’s name?
Her: My company is light L-I-G-H-T plastic P-L-A-S-T-I-C Corp C-O-R-P
Me: ok – Street address for pick up?
Her: 186 Grand G-R-A-N-D Ave A-V-E
Me: (Does she really have to spell everything? I mean I’m not exactly spelling bee material but I think I can handle “Grand Ave” …this is taking forever…) Ok and can I get your name?
Her: Sure, it’s Mary M-A-R-Y Smith S-M-I-T-H
Me: (really??) and what city are you located in?
Her: Punxsutawney …………
Me: (I can’t believe this is happening!) Can you spell that for me please?
Is that fun for people?!?!?!?!?! Is this a joke?
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Once upon a time there lived a man and his name was Hezekiah
He walked with God both day and night but he didn’t wanna die
He cried oh Lord please let me live death is close I know
God smiled down on Hezekiah and gave him fifteen years to go
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don’t wanna die
So I long for the day when I’ll have new birth still I love the livin’ here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
When Jesus lived here on this earth he knew his father’s plan
He knew that he must give his life to save the souls of men
When Judas had betraied him the father heard him cry
He was brave until his death but he didn’t wanna die
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don’t wanna die
So I long for the day when I’ll have new birth still I love the livin’ here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
