A client called my ad agency. The administrative assistant was overwhelmed with calls, so I had her transfer the excess calls to me in the back.
Client: I need to talk to my ad person.
Me: Sure. Who’s your ad rep?
Client: Mary.
Me: We don’t have a Mary. Was it (my name)? Or could it be Karla or Betty?
Client: No, no, that’s not it.
Client: I’m looking at your employee page on the website. She’s that fat girl in the back, you know the great big one.
Me: Umm… Is it (I say my own name again)?
Client: Yea, yea that’s her. I need to talk to her.
Me: Well this is her. I’m the fat girl in the back.
