Retirement


Today I went to a retirement lunch for a person who I had worked with some few years ago. It was a surprise, as I had not seen/heard of some of my former co-workers for some time. This usually happens when you work for the Federal Government and you move between Department(s), you no longer keep in contact.
I wish him all the best as he is a great guy and a honest human being.
I will say this prayer for my friend Norm "may He walk with you during your retirement years my freind, God Bless."

The Seasons are Changing


This depicts a pathway which I often use when going for my many walks. It shows the beauty of the fall colours, yet it harbours the message that the harsh winter is coming and we should get prepared.

Call Center


We all know about these Call Centers and how it can be frustrating to work as a Call Center Operator.
Here are some calls that were received in a Call Center... enjoy.
Actual call center conversations!

Customer:'I've been calling 700-1000 for two days and can't get through; Can you help?'
Operator:'Where did you get that number, sir?'
Customer:'It's on the door of your business.'
Operator:'Sir, those are the hours that we are open.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caller: 'Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?'
Operator: 'I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand who you are talking about.'
Caller: 'On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly states that I need to unplug the fax machine from the AC wall socket and Telephone Jack before cleaning. Now, can you give me the Number for Jack?'
Operator:'I think it means the telephone plug on the wall.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RAC Motoring Services
Caller:'Does your European Breakdown Policy cover me when I am traveling in Australia?'
Operator:'Does the policy name give you a clue?'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Directory Inquiries
Caller:'I'd like the number of the Argo Fish Bar, please'
Operator:'I'm sorry, there's no listing. Are you sure that the spelling is correct?'
Caller:'Well, it used to be called the Bargo Fish Bar but the 'B' fell off.'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven.
Operator:'Woven? Are you sure?'
Caller:'Yes.. That's what it says on the label -- Woven in Scotland ..'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone box told a worried operator: 'I haven't got a pen, so I'm steaming up the window to write the number on.'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tech Support:'I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop.'
Customer: 'OK.'
Tech Support: 'Did you get a pop-up menu?'
Customer: 'No.'
Tech Support:'OK. Right-Click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?'
Customer: 'No.'
Tech Support:'OK, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?'
Customer: 'Sure. You told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click'.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tech Support:'OK. At the bottom left hand side of your screen, can you see the 'OK' button displayed?'
Customer:' Wow! How can you see my screen from there? '
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caller:'I deleted a file from my PC last week and I just realized that I need it. So, if I turn my system clock back two weeks will I get my file back again?'

Interesting and Funny

They start them early in the 21st Century.
On my regular walk, I often pass this sign, and it has always intrigued me. OK, OK, not what they do (that is obvious)but when they begin the process.
I have seen other signs, and they usually state that they take children from age 1 to age X (whatever X means, it could be 5).
However, on this sign it is different, and that is what I find funny. Take a close look and it states "Daycare for ages 0-5", now tell me how they can do any daycare for age 0.
Does the mother have to come in on her eighth month?..... remember it says "Age 0". That is what I found intriguing.
They could have written "From 1 month to 5 years", but "From 0-5 years", that is what I call "Early Learning & Socialization"
