Gah!

Dear customers,

Stop calling.

There is no one but me in the office today. All the admin girls and L have gone on a special day-long treat to a spa with the Boss!Lady because we have the office Christmas party tonight. Some of the managers are here, but they can't help you. There's only me between you and the Forces of Darkness.

Also, stop calling with stupidly complex problems that I can't solve and expect me to solve them. I am the receptionist. I transfer calls, deal with mail, and make sure the managers don't trip over themselves occasionally. I can't give you an amortissement schedule or tell you whether or not a manager is planning to reply to you any time soon. I can't read their minds. Spouting numbers at me will. not. help. The numbers mean nothing to me. Promise. Cross my heart. No, giving me a different set of numbers also won't help. Like I said, numbers mean nothing to me. No, please don't try a third series of numbers. Your cause is lost.

Just, please stop fucking calling. No one is here who gives a damn about your problems.

Yours very sincerely but with no love,

Me

So don't answer the phone - who's to know?

Umm, my boss when many of the customers call her to complain later. All the managers have direct lines as well as the main reception line, so there's no escape.

Perhaps it did not occur to you that you work for people who seem to be seriously allergic to money and profit making. It sounds like these people are wasting your talents. Get a job that values you. Rumor has it that there are still a few serious companies left in the Great Northern Socialist Utopia. I'm sure you can find one eventually. Good luck in your hunting.

Heh. I work for a bank. I'm pretty sure they're not allergic to money and profit making. However, they're probably allergic to *my* making money, since it would get in the way of their profits.

Getting a new job is on my list of Things To Get Done in the New Year.
