We get these phone calls a lot for some reason. Some becaus they wrote the number down wrong, some given the wrong number (even by an employee), others I don't know what they did.
 It is for a self storeage place, who also happens to have an employee with my first name :rant;

After a while you start to have fun with some of these people who are looking for new spaces and quote cheap fees and to tell them Chris quoted me that.
Wel a couple weeks ago one person calls and wakes me out of sleep that I just got to doing at 7 am andstarts asking aboout pricing and box sales. I told her this wasn't a storage facility, you reached the wrong number. So she asked if it was such and such a number. I said no and the last numbers where not close to our number, not even the first of the last four digits. Then she begins to argue how can that be, you have to be the such and such storage.... Nope and click! I don't need yelling in my ear when I am trying to get some rest

when the kids were little and we lived in pinole, CA our number was on off from a gas station in another part of town. i was always getting calls for them and most everyone said ok and hung up. one day i told a caller who was looking for the gas station that he had the wrong number our number ended in 6 and the station number ended in 7 and he said, "no this isn't the wrong number, i called the number in my mother's phone book and she doesn't make mistakes".

Why do people call gas stations in the first place?

Ok, I'm dying of laughter this morning. At work, I sit next to one of the laziest people on the face of this planet. He comes in 1/2 hour - 45 minutes late most days, leaves early, takes long lunches (1.5 to 2 hours) and in-between he surfs the internet. Most of our team is in Arizona, including our manager. We're in Oregon, so our manager doesn't see any of this and I'm not comfortable being a tattle-tale. I know he'll get busted without my help eventually anyway.

This morning, Pete came over to my cube right after he got to work. There's an airshow at the airport about a mile from here one weekend every August and it's this weekend. Pete said it might be prudent to leave work early today because roads might be closed due to the air show. I said I didn't think it would affect me (actually either of us). Neither of us goes past the airport on our way home and in past years, the road closures have always been on the other side of the airport and signs go up about road closures a couple weeks in advance -- I haven't seen any signs posted. Pete said he was going to use it as an excuse to leave early anyway.  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

A couple of his better excuses to leave early in the past:

- "I've had enough for today. I'm going home to play with my dog." This was at noon one day. He got tired of surfing the web early that day????
- "My wife needs my car, so I'm going to work from home this afternoon." This was at 11:30 one day. A week later, I said something about logging in from home to work and he said he didn't know if he even could log in from home because it had been so long since he'd tried.

It just keeps getting better. I guess since the roads-closed excuse wasn't going to work, he needed to try harder. He came over to my cube at 1:00 to tell me he was leaving because his neighbors installed a new fence. He knew the fence was coming months ago. His neighbor told him they were planning to replace it and what the replacement would be. He didn't have a problem with it. The new fence is wire and now people can see into his neglected yard. I'm not sure how his going home so early changed anything though. He didn't give any indication that he was going to do anything about the state of the yard. He said before he left today that people are only outside about three months out of the year, so the condition of the yard isn't important. He sure made me curious though. I might need to do a drive-by.

Just take some  :pics; :pics; and secretly record what he says and mail an unmarked letter to your manager. They won't know it is you and they may make a suprise inspection. :rofl; :rofl;
hat a bonehead this guy is. How much does he get paid? I want his job, but at least I'll be doing something.

anyway,
I called tech support because i was having problems with this new wireless router my dad was having me set up. The guy ask me a bunch of questions, I told him that I was working on such and such router, with such and such cable modem on a Microsoft Vista machine. He then ask me what operrating system I was using. hello, duhh, what the heck did I just tell you? Then of course he ask if I could install it on a XP system. I had to ask "How is that gonna solve my problem if I don't have XP? (which I did, 3 other computers, but not where the router is). Then he starts pulling crap out of his  :sir ken; on what to try, so I hung up on him He was also making loud noises over the pphone as if he was eating or brushing up against something for a long time. IDIOT Tech Support  :rant;

Solved the problem on my own, manuals were useless also.
