loracsIt's 4:30 pm on a Friday. My boss is off this afternoon, but she checks her voice mail and forwards a call to me. Here's what I hear in a heavily accented Russian female voice.
"I call everyone, no one is working, only get message. Please call me." She left her name and number. I repeated the message several times before I was sure I heard the phone number correctly and I never really got the name. Her voice was full of frustration. Remember I work in a municipality's IT division. I call her. As soon as I identify myself with the city's name, she says "Never mind. Disregard my message. I talk to the inspector. All taken care of. Good-bye."
I can only imagine, once she couldn't get through to the agency/department she wanted, she ran her finger down the government white pages leaving messages all over the place.
Yep, it's Friday. And I'm headed home now.
