I'm a what?!

It started off as any normal Tuesday after a long weekend would. I was dragging my feet to get to work. Upon arrival, it looked like it would be a somewhat easy day. The phones were busy, but not crazy, and the callers seemed to be fine.

Then, crazy lady called.

She was applying for a job, and what sucks for her, is that all of those calls go to a voice mail box that someone in HR supposedly checks. I can't even be sure if they do, seeing I get so many angry job seekers calling me back multiple times during the day.

I sent this lady over to HR three time, back to back, within ten minutes. And it was then, that when she decided to freak out at me.

"What do you mean there's no live person for me to talk to??"
Me: "I'm sorry ma'am (i say ma'am hoping it annoys them), all employment questions go to the job hot line"
"What kind of company is this?? I can't believe I can't speak to a LIVE PERSON"
Me: "I'm sorry, ma'am, but that's the only line for Human Resources"
"Oh right, that's the ONLY line. Riiight. Whatever, you fucking idiot."

Click!

Unfortunately, I was not the one to hang up first. Crazy bitch beat me to it. But seriously, why is it that I'm the one that gets subjected to people harassing me and insulting me day after day? Why can't I just send these people to a live person for them to deal with?

Who knows what will happen with that lady, and with my luck, we'll probably hire her at one of our stores.

Happy Tuesday everyone! The only thing getting me through today is that it's a short week. I mean, what else could possibly happen? ;)

...knock on wood people. I 'm serious. I don't think I can survive anymore harassment this week!
