*sneaks in, casually hides behind friendslist* Shhhh, if I'm very quiet, the work can't find me.

On today's hate list: mumblers, people who put no inflection in their voice whatsoever^*, and people who pick up the phone with "Hello" instead of saying their name or the name of the establishment. Hate!

[ETA] Oh, and people who misspell my name in e-mail. (This is a longstanding peeve.) It's right there in the "from" field, and I sign all my e-mails, dammit. Take the two seconds to notice the different-from-usual-but-not-exactly-unique spelling and make sure you have it right. It's a matter of basic respect, for fuck's sake. [/ETA]

It's really warm and sunny out, and I'm wearing velvet trousers, a long-sleeved shirt, and all black. Gnah. Save meeee!

^* I can't figure out if they're deliberately trying to give off an air of "I really don't want to be talking to you, so hurry it up," in which case, grow a spine and just say you don't have time or whatever, or if they seriously don't know how they come across, but ugh.

Is CO coming to movie?

Also, padredon will be contacting you, I think, to arrange movie stuffs. :)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I shall ask her! And oh dear, there needs to be arranging of movie stuffs?

Sadly, no CO tonight, woe. see you there!

I had some lovely calls today, and got monitored. One fatal error. :o(

Thankfully, I'm not getting corrective action since all that would mean is getting monitored three times next week - and I'm getting monitored three times next week /anyway/.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Boo fatal error! And yeah, they're pretty forgiving even on those when you're new. Though now I'm curious as to what fatal error you got. (The only fatal error I ever got was not calling someone by name. Grr.)

[wibbble]

The call was perfect... apart from me giving out an entirely incorrect answer. :o)

Oops.

Unrelated: yay weekend!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm guessing that'll do it. :D

Yaye weekend indeed. have another party, though i plan to go home earlyish this time, because gah so exhausted.

oh I know!! I know!! My last name ends in "e" but every fucking time this one person keeps sending me emails "for .... "en"".
I sign my name, woman!! Copy/paste it for fuck 's sake!

At least over here, they actually spell my surname right. Dutch-speaking people keep wanting to insert a's and e's into it and it DRIVES ME INSANE!

I usually say 'hallo?'. But then I'm not an establishment.

Also, while my first name is Anne, everyone (who isn't French-speaking, heh) except my mother and grandmother spell it An. I find this particularly offensive in the case of my stepdad, who (very helpfully, I do realise) set up both my bank account and car insurance under 'An'. Grrr.
