as marketing assistant/office manager (read: i create junkmail and answer phones!) in the warehouse district, i am rarely surprised by things that happen in my "professional" life.
today (in no particular order):
1. a magazine telemarketer called and asked if he could verify our fax number. i politely gave it to him and he said, 'great, i just want to make sure that we have the correct address for you.' he rattled off our old, no longer valid address, to which i responded, 'perfect.' he said something about needing my month of birth to continue receiving blah blah magazine at no charge except if you don't cancel blah in blah days you will blah blah something rate of blah blah.' i said, 'umm...?' and before i could object he said thank you and hung up. blahst! swindled again!
2. a client came in for a meeting today. as he was leaving he introduced himself "hi, i'm rj!" i smiled and said, "i'm sophie."
"dotie?"
"no, sophie."
"oh, dothie!"
"no, sophie."
"dophie. nice to meet you, dophie."
are you serious? there's someone in this world who actually thinks my name is DOPHIE?! really? really?
what the hell kind of name is that anyway?
oh shoot. fine, the name is lovely if you are an award-winning alpaca but otherwise, it is not okay.
3. the guy who has an obvious toupee walks by the office every single day. and every single day, i smirk. like we have a secret, he and i. an obvious, badly-placed, awful-colored secret. hey! you look great! wink.
what can i say? my life is awesome.
