  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

The following is EXACTLY the conversation I had with a lady at a credit union today:

Bank Lady: Hello, Capital Credit Union

Wade: Hello, may I speak to Darlene Hearden please

Bank Lady: I'm sorry, she no longer works here, can I take a message?

(At this point I'm doing all I can to not bust out laughing at this dumb box)

Wade: Well, if Darlene no longer works there, who would you be taking this message for?

Bank Lady: Me, I took her spot.

(OK, at this point I did honestly laugh on the phone, I just couldn't help it)

Wade: Well, would it be necessary to leave a message for you if I'm already on the phone with you, or do I have to leave a message and then you'll call me back?

(Bank Lady in her most serious business voice)

Bank Lady: No Sir, I can take your call right now!


OMG, I had everything I could do to just get through the conversation with her. These are the people who are controlling my monies people, pretty scary.

That is too friggin' hilarious. She may have been told by her suprvisor to say Darlene is no longer employed here, can I take a message...period.

The blonde part would have brought her to those unchartered waters where she would have to respond on her own.

Thanks for the laugh Wade!:laugh:

That is hilarious, but better than the alternative. When I call Citibank I'll get a guy speaking in a thick Middle Eastern Accent telling me his name Is Jack Dawson or some other plainly "American" name that he is certainly not named.
