My ear aches from hearing myself repeat the same message on random customer's answering machines about 50 times too many. I have been attempting to keep myself occupied by reading fellow bloggers' daily accounts. It's actually been pretty entertaining. I have thus far read a great book review on "Life of Pi", which I was supposed to go out and buy by his second paragraph, and read one wedding-happy girl's entire blog about moving to Canada for law school and how she like poofy dresses. I found myself laughing out loud at the familiar description of drooling to food. The recipricants of that cheerful message better be greatful....
Come to think of it, my skills on the phone professionaly have probably decreased dramatically since I've been here. Before Hayley and Deborah left me to go to their fancy schools, we would have to hang up the phone or appologize on answering machines for filling their personal messaging systems with barely-comprehendable reminders for their "pest control service tomorrow". In a state of boredom about a month and a half back, I typed up 'word of encouragement' for all of the people in the office. Posted above this screen now lays Hayley's reminder that "If for any reason you begin to laugh on the phone, remember: hang up, call back and tell them that you had technical difficulties." Ahh, good times.
Only 4 more dreaded phone calls and then I will be free to sit and stare at my buddy list until somebody decides to mosy over to their computer and take their away-message off. Only 4... more!!
