So this morning I was sitting at my desk when the phone rang. One of the Finance associates who had signed up for an assessment wanted to know if he could reschedule. Now, the people I deal with daily are usually super-friendly but today, however, I messed with the wrong guy. The conversation went something like this:
Him: I signed up for the 10AM assessment but I want to take it later.
Me: That's fine, when would you like to reschedule for?
Him: The 1PM one this afternoon.
Me: Okay, this service'll cost about $500. [This is something I do to the associates all the time. One guy had me searching the entire office for a file and I kept him on hold for a good 10 minutes before coming back and telling him that I had finally located the file but spilled coffee all over it. He asked, "Oh my God, are you serious?" and I said, "Of course not," with a laugh. He laughed and said, "Man, if I weren't married..." They're usually nice folks, those Finance people. Usually. But not this guy.]
Him: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!
Me: Of course I am.
Him: I DO NOT APPRECIATE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR! I AM GOING TO GET YOU FIRED FOR THIS! I AM IN NO MOOD FOR JOKES!
Me: So... I'll just add your name to the 1PM list, then.
Him: Scoff, scoff, scoff scoff, SCOFF, SCOFF! What's your name?
Me: Lisa.
Him: Well, Lisa, I hope you like your new job. I am going to try my best to get you fired.
The office had a good laugh at this moron shortly after I hung up. Umm, lighten up, sir.
