Conversations like this early in the morning ruin my equilibrium for the day
Phone rings @ 8:50 am. I just got off the Commodore Barry Bridge and am negotiating the Flower Street construction (stressful enough!).
Me: Hello?
Girl on phone: Hi, my name is Lindsay and I’m calling from RenStaff, I just saw your resume on Monster.com and am wondering if you are still looking for work.
(A pause as I comprehend this)
Me: I’m sorry, did you say RenStaff?
Girl: Yes, RenStaff, we’re a worldwide staffing company.
Me: Um, yeaahhhhh, I’m actually employed by RenStaff right now….. (almost blow a red light watching the backhoes across the street. sip coffee)
Girl: Oh yeah?
Me: Yes, I’m assigned to This Bank as a mortgage processor right now, I worked with the Sugar Mills office.
Girl: Oh yeah??! That’s where I am!
Me: Er….
Girl: Well, there’s a new class starting Wednesday…do you think you have any friends who….(trails off)
Me: Um, well, I do know one person who I was going to refer, but (crap, I think she got a job) actually wait, I DO know someone else who has a job (but I’m not giving you his number) so uh, I actually have Lauren’s contact info, so I could send her info on to him? Lauren…Smith, she’s the one I worked with.
Girl: Oh, yes, she and I are working together on this project. That would be great!
Me: (totally lost now) Ok, um, I’m at work now, I’ll ask him if he’s interested and pass along the info.
Girl: Great, thanks so much!
Me: ….Bye?
I am not sure if I should find this conversation amusing, or be concerned that they are going to replace me….names have been changed to protect the stupid….
