Here's something you shouldn't say to somebody answering the phone when you call a company
You have a very pleasant voice. You should be a good secretary when you grow up.
I will be? Gee, thanks. Glad I have that to look forward to. Really gonna be making something of myself.
Let's break it down.
You have a very pleasant voice
Off to a fine start. I like to be told I'm doing a good job. You should have stopped right there, lady.
You should be a good secretary
That's what I should aspire to be? I shouldn't aim any higher? Let alone the fact that I'm the Assistant Service Manager, and secretary is a bit of a step back.
When you grow up
When I grow up? 26 isn't grown up enough for you? Yeah, my voice is a little high pitched sometimes, usually when I'm feigning happiness in talking to people like you, but do I really sound like a pre-pubescent boy? If I do, I better stop pretending to be happy.
So I try not to let it faze me and ask her what I can help her with.
Get me a cup of coffee
Fucking bitch. And this is just one of myriad of reasons why my job sucks. Can't leave though, I might be getting promoted to Service Manager in the next few weeks, and that'll come with more compensation.
I'm drinking tonight, who's joining me?

Fuck yea man! Corporate things in general are generic and not human. I wouldn't let something like that bother you for too long. Let it bother you to the point where you practice karate and stuff and by then, you've released so much steam that you could power a hydroelectric generator! Sorry to sound weird, I need to drink to cause shit like that happens to me all the time...
