The White House

"You could be the president of the United States and that still is not going to get me to transfer you to a person. You get a voice mail, just like everyone else." - She Said What? Blog from September 2010.

Well.... I'm happy to announce that I am true to my words.

Kind of, I mean, it wasn't exactly the President who called.

Today, Mike so-and-so from the WHITE HOUSE called me today and wished to speak to the founder of the company. Now without knowing my company, or who the founder could be, this could seem like a really strange and weird request. However, this lady is an important person. She's barely in the office because she's out doing all these important amazing things. Having the White House call is just the sort of thing I would expect. She was probably being invited to some important dinner with all sorts of famous important people.

That being said, she's obviously not in the office, so I transfered Mike to her assistant. 2 minutes later, Mike calls back. He got a voicemail.

Now if you were me, what would you do? This lady only has one assistant, and I honestly don't know any other executive assistant that would know her schedule seeing that she's so rarely in the office.

So, yup, you know what I did. I told him to leave a message with the assistant because I know she's in, I've seen her and she leaves everyday at 5pm, and it was only 2pm. He was super agreeable, which was shocking, and I sent him on his way. I even watched the call to see if she picked up, and I don't think she did.

So what what! I just sent the White House to a voice mail. You average everyday normal people have no chance getting a real person after reaching a voice mail now. Who wants to mess with me next?!
