  • Had an interesting day today… I was told secretly that the place I am working is planning to keep me through the end of May!!! That is super stellar news esp. concerning this is by far my highest paying job, I enjoy working there and learning the ins and outs of Georgetown U, and the people I work with are really swell!  Good news good news!

     

    Then I fielded a call from an old man who was describing me in a bad way since he left me something to give to the President… the phone conversation went something like this:

     

    Old man: yes, I would like to talk to the President.
    Me: I am sorry, he is busy at the moment and his secretary is in a meeting.
    Old man: Yes, are you the kid I spoke with last week?
    Me: I dont know what you mean sir
    Old Man: The chinese national sitting at the front desk.
    Me: (stunned, like what a way to describe somebody… and describing someone as a “chinese national” doesnt that just sound racist?) 
    Well sir, it depends what day did you stop by…

    Old Man: yea, it was you.. .I would like to speak with someone else.

    Me: Sorry, no one else is available… Can I take a message?

     

     

    And that is basically how it ended.  I was pretty weirded out, I should have come up with something witty to say…

  • Yeah I hate hate hate stupid people like that old man. When I was younger I used to work for a retail shop and for some stupid reason , dumb dumb customers who wanted deals and I would not give it to them would call back later and make up things or complain about me to my manager . HATED THEM .
