I've got another good work story from yesterday - this one's not quite as good, but still comical:
So, our president's direct line is one digit different from a law office's (hers starts with 322, his with 332). Since her phone is forwarded to me a lot I get to take a lot of calls for this guy, and I usually have to repeat two or three times that the person has dialed incorrectly and needs to dial 332 to get to the lawyer. Most of the people that call do not seem to have great, or even very good, command of the English language, and we figured out yesterday that it's probably because we think he's an immigration lawyer. Here's how the conversation started:
Me: Good afternoon, DLK Civic Design.
Caller: Hello, this is Mohammed [last name]. I’m calling about because you still have the bond money for Mohammed [different last name] and Mohammed [different last name] has been deported and where is this money?
Mr. Mohammed said this all very quickly so I did have to ask him to repeat himself, after which I had to explain twice that he'd dialed incorrectly. *smack*
PS - everyone needs to go visit Kristin's blog. :-)

What a wonderful way to spend your time at work...! It must have been hilarious. At least it gives you a little distraction once in a while. Say hi to Mohammed if he calls again. ;)
That is funny! I hope Mohammad gets his money soon!
