Time Zones

Receiving calls from a variety of time zones can be very exciting. My mind sometimes fails to recall that my time is not everyone's time. As an example, here is one lovely conversation.

"Have a good night, Ms. D."

"Honey, it's daytime."

It's Not Just the Customers

Most of the time it's the customers who make me laugh, but sometimes my coworkers furnish quite a bit of amusement. Today, I heard the agent directly across from me say, "And now I have some illicit instructions for you, Mr. _"

Romantic Overages

"I got a call yesterday saying that I had gone over my minutes?"

"Yes, Ms.__, we are showing that you have. In order to avoid overage charges, I would recommend that you change your rate plan so you have more minutes available."

"Ok, let's do that then. I didn't think I'd need so many minutes, but my new boyfriend has been calling me and he's really romantic, you know? He's so good with words, it's just that there're so many of them! And he's my new boyfriend so I haven't told him much about himself and how many words he uses yet."

The Farm

I spoke with a woman whose first name was Dairy. She lived on Pig Lane. I find this very amusing.
