Yesturday, I posted on how weird our monday had been. I thought that since
monday was so weird, tuesday would be relatively normal. Naturally, this isn't
the case. I've already had two phone calls like this today already:
| Me: |
GrumbleBarfInternetCanIHelpYou ? |
|---|
| Luser: |
Is <some person who doesn't work for us> there ? |
|---|
| Me: |
No, I'm afraid that we're GrumbleBarf Internet. |
|---|
| Luser: |
Oh well could you give me some information on HP printers please ? |
|---|
| Me: |
er, I'm sorry sir, but we are an Internet service provider. We don't
deal with printers. |
|---|
| Luser: |
Your number is below the name of <some person who doesn't work for
us> |
|---|
| Me: |
[A bulb lights above my head] Is this in reference to the column
that <some person who doesn't work for us> writes ? |
|---|
| Luser: |
Yes |
|---|
| Me: |
I'm sorry sir, but we only sponsor that column, you will have to contact
<some person who doesn't work for us> for anything relating to the contents
of the column. |
|---|
[sigh] the reason for this is thanks to the person responsible for marketing
saying that we would sponser a newspapaer column on IT stuff. Naturally, we
have a logo on there and our phone number. Also naturally enough, our phone
number is the only one in the column. I can see lots of strange phone calls
coming up.
We've also just had an exchange in the office about chocolate covered lard
bars....
If this week carries on the way it is I'll expect short showers of frogs with
rose pettles along with calls from clueful lusers.
