SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I SWEAR. SOMETIMES I FEEL STUPID BECAUSE I HAVE BRAIN DAMAGE. BUT THE BETTER I GET, THE MORE I REALIZE THAT COMPARED TO MOST OF THE PEOPLE I DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS, I COULD AFFORD TO LOSE A FEW BRAIN CELLS. !!!!!!!!
IN ADDITION TO TRYING TO CONCENTRATE ON MY JOB WHICH REQUIRES MATH, READING, AND COGNITIVE SKILLS, WHICH IS HARD ENOUGH, I GET TO ANSWER PHONE CALLS ALL DAY AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN AVERAGE DAY. TIMES 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CALLER#1: MAY I SPEAK TO KEVIN
ME: KEVIN ISN'T IN, HERE'S HIS CELL PHONE#
CALLER: MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME
ME: NO MAM, I CAN'T. IF HE'S YOUR APPRAISER, YOU NEED TO TALK TO HIM.
CALLER: I'VE ALREADY LEFT HIM A MESSAGE A MINUTE AGO
ME: THEN I'M SURE HE'LL CALL YOU WHEN HE GETS THE MESSAGE
CALLER: WHEN DO YOU THINK HE'LL CALL
CALLER# 2: MAY I SPEAK WITH MIKE
ME: SIR MIKE NO LONGER WORKS HERE, HE HAS HIS OWN APPRAISAL COMPANY NOW HERE IS THE #
CALLER#2: SO THIS IS MIKE'S #?
ME: UH YEAH, I DIDN'T MAKE IT UP
CALLER#2: SO IS HE STILL AN APPRAISER?
ME: NO, HE JUST OWNS AN APPRAISAL COMPANY
CALLER#3: ARE YA'LL HIRIN
ME: SIR, DO YOU HAVE A STATE LICENCE
CALLER#3: NO
ME: YOU CAN'T BE AN APPRAISER TIL YOU GET ONE
CALLER#3: HOW DO I GET ONE
ME: SIR, I AM VERY BUSY, GO TO THE STATE BOARD SITE AND IT WILL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING
CALLER#3: I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER
ME: CALL THE APPRAISAL BOARD
CALLER#3: WHAT'S THEIR #
ME: SIR, I'M NOT A TELEPHONE OPERATOR, CALL DIRECTORY
CALLER #4: HOW MUCH WILL MY PROPERTY GO UP IN VAUE IF I ADD A PET ENTRANCE TO MY HOUSE
ME: IT VIOLATES STATE AND FEDERAL LAW TO GIVE VALUES OVER THE PHONE GOOD DAY
CALLER#4: CAN'T YOU JUST GIVE ME YOUR OFF THE RECORD OPINION
ME: SURE, BE GLAD TO A "DOGGIE DOOR" IS TOTALLY MEANINGLESS AND IN FACT SOME PEOPLE DO NOT WANT ONE SO IT COULD ACTUALLY HINDER YOUR PROPERTY VALUE AS YOU WILL HAVE TO SPEND MORE THAN IT COSTS TO REPLACE THE DOOR, ANYTHING ELSE?
CALLER#4: SO YOU DON'T THINK IT WILL ADD VALUE THEN
CALLER#5: MAY I SPEAK TO KIM
ME: THIS IS KIM
CALLER #5: SO THIS IS KIM
ME: YES IT IS MAY I HELP YOU?!
CALLER#5: YEAH, YOU APPRAISED MY HOUSE 5 YEARS AGO DO YOU REMEMBER?
ME: WELL, UH , NO. YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME WHO YOU ARE OR WHERE YOU LIVE???

CALLER#5: CAN I GET A DISCOUNT
CALLER#6: KIM?

CALLER#6: ARE YOU BUSY?
ME: VERY VERY BUSY AND VERY STRESSED AT THE DAMNED PHONES RINGING (HINT HINT)
CALLER #6: WELL THIS WILL JUST TAKE A MINUTE, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT CAROLYN DID( NEICE) YAK YAK YAK YAK YAK YAK YAK YAK YAK YAK
CALLER#7: MAY TO SPEAK TO BILL
ME: BILL ISN'T IN YET MAY I TAKE A MESSAGE
CALLER#7: IS THIS KIM?
ME: YES MAM
CALLER #7: AREN'T YOU BILL'S DAUGHTER
ME: YES MAM
CALLER#7: MAYBE YOU CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION
LIKE I CAN INHERIT 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ???????????????????????????????
AND WHEN I LET THE PHONE RING AND LET THE GUYS ANSWER IT, IT''S KIM LINE ONE, KIM LINE TWO, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND THEN MY CELL RINGS VIBRATES OFF THE DESK DURING ALL OF THIS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I CAN TAKE IT SOME DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERY TIME I HAVE TO ANSWER THE PHONE IT TAKES ME TEN MINUTES TO REGROUP ENOUGH TO CONCENTRATE. DID THIS BOTHER ME BEFORE? YES, SOME. BUT NOW IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNBEARABLE.
P.S WE TRIED A RECEPTIONIST, DIDN'T WORK OUT. SHE TOOK UP MORE TIME ASKING ME QUESTIONS THAN IT DID TO ANSWER THE PHONE. AND BESIDES, I STILL HAD TO HEAR IT RING. I TRIED DICONECTING RINGERS AND LETTING IT GO TO VOICE MAIL, IT'S ON A NETWORK, NO CAN DO. I WENT TO MAIN CIRCUIT BOX AND DISCONECTED PHONES SO IT WOULD GO TO VOICE MAIL, THAT SCREWED UP THE FAX.
HHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
