I like temping, but i'm sick of being a receptionist. People always asking questions I don't know the answers to.
"Is Forrest Gump in?"
"I can transfer you to his line if you like."
"I know, but I just called his line and got his voicemail. Is he in?"
"...according to the sign-in sheet, he is here today."
"Well, could you page him for me?"
"I'm afraid we don't have a paging system."
"Would you go over to his office and see if he's there?"
"I don't know where his office is."
"Well, have you at least seen him today?"
"I don't know what he looks like."
"Look, just transfer me to the other receptionist."
I have a memorial penny on my desk. On one side is a picture of Mister Rogers (wearing a false beard), and on the other-- well, that's clearly the trolley, right?
I've spent most of the day posting mean (for me, anyway) messages on the boards.
Though I finally have it committed to memory, my monologular skills are depressingly poor.
