This would only be of mild interest to people in this DS community... Slightly humorous. So I thought I'd share...
I work for a logistics/delivery company here in Houston. At the moment we have an employment ad running for drivers. Basically for 3 different types of positions. Pickup truck, flatbed truck or 18-wheeler. The response calls that come in are routed to the appropriate department depending on what type of vehicle they have. To save time for the receptionist I (being the genius that I am) devised an easy way to route the calls to the appropriate department based on who the caller asks for. i.e. the names in the ad according to vehicle type.
For pickup trucks they ask for Grayson. For flatbeds they ask for Jamison. For 18-wheelers they ask for Quentin...
So basically throughout the day echoing through the warehouse you hear, "Quentin you have a call on line 4!!!" or "Jamison you have two lines holding!!!" It just gives me a chuckle when I hear that because those are fairly unusual names anyway...
I could only imagine hearing "Victor Fenn-Gibbon line 2!" I tried to keep it as simple as possible while still secretly prolonging the joke. A couple of people here know where the names are from, but most are totally oblivious.
Call count for this week: Grayson-65 calls, Jamison-32 calls, Quentin-28 calls.
On a serious note, the economy seems to be picking up that's why we need more drivers. Probably half of the calls though are from people who are out of work that used to work in other industries and are now looking for a change. Hopefully things will continue to improve as our volume is up over last year at this same time.
Everyone have a happy Easter!!!!!
