Stupid secretary
- Her: Can I have the phone number of the consulting company where you worked for the past 6 years?
- Guy: I was self employed. I am the owner and sole employee of the consulting company and I would be happy to answer any questions you have.
- Her: No, I need to call to verify!
- Guy: ...But you'll just be calling me.
- Her: I have to call — what's the number?
- Guy: The number of the office is [my cell number].
- (note: I'm standing 2 feet directly in front of her. She dials the phone and I answer.)
- Her: Hello — this is Paula from Initrode Global, calling in reference to Snoofle's employment.
- Guy (both into the cell phone and to her): I know, I'm standing right in front of you.
- Her (into the phone): Could you please verify the dates of Snoofle's employment at VirtuDyne, Intelligenuity and Initech?
- Guy (reading from my résumé that is laying on her desk in front of her): VirtuDyne: a1 to b1, Intelligenuity: a2 to b2, and Initech: a3 to b3.
- Her: Great, thank you! *click*
- Guy (directly to her): ...Did you not notice that you were talking to me right here in front of you?
- Her: I know, but I have to call to check these things.
