Tanty Tuesday

[BigPete33]

everyone should just use Firefox, it has an inbuilt spellchecker, but unfortunately it won't check your grammar for you

If you added 'and made sure it was using the correct dictionary' I might even agree with you

I know it's not Tuesday and I don't care, i'm having a whinge (whingey wednesday?). Phone related stuff again, but that happens when you spend all day answering phones (although I swear I b*tch and moan about other stuff ). When I ring a business, I say my name and who I need to speak to and what it's regarding. I figure it's a time saver and less likely to frustrate people. So why do I constantly get people ringing up like this: Caller - "Is X there?" Me - "Yes, can I tell X who is calling?" Now, just to clarify, the people I work with want to know who is calling and what it is regarding given that they manage more than 15 clients each, so it makes my job a lot easier if I don't have to feel like i'm interrogating the caller or pulling teeth. I don't want to know if you're Y from Whyalla, that tells me nothing! Are you a client, a friend, a contractor? C'mon people - give me some more info...and don't get shirty with me about it.

Exactly Laura!

I get messages all the time, regarding problems with hospital admissions. You ring from a facility and leave a message, tell me what it is about. If it is a simple question, I'm likely to call back quicker. If you just leave your name, then I'm gonna wonder if it's a hard question, so I'll wait til the next day, when I'm fresh(er).

I hate it that I have the 8-5 shift at work tomorrow.

Does that count? Stuff it, it counts.

So you are playing the kingy?

[Garth Kay]

I love my job!!!

I got to suspend 4 people yesterday, and have some real fiery phone conversations.

Just adds to the excitement of the role which is Operations Manager or as some of you know it; KoFE.

[Laura]

Garth, that doesn't really seem like a tanty!

Glad you're having a great time though!

[Nevah play JJ]

Have to agree with Laura,

Seriously! You call that a tanty, I mean common, I have seen butterflies with more anger than that! Where is the stamping of feet, blowing of hot air, or more importantly any form of grumpiness.

All we heard in that was joy and happiness.
Unacceptable, so so so very unacceptable.


No.. very disappointed in your so called Tanty Garth
Very very disappointed.

[Ondie J]

Things I hate...


...Going to the fridge only to discover I've forgotten that I've already drunk all the beer and have none.

And shoes.

[bennymacca]

u know what i hate?

making a massive f*ckoff sandwich with ham on it for lunch, only to eat half of it and realise the ham is off.

[AceLosesKing]

What's a f*ckoff sandwhich?

I was, shall I say, accosted by a religous zealot today. Walking to the train station after work and as I'm walking past this front yard where a group of people are talking, one of them (a younger bloke, maybe 18) stops me.

"Excuse me Sir, do you believe in Jesus?"
"Nah man, sorry."
"Maybe you should let Jesus into your life"
"No."

I start to walk off. He follows me down the path.

"Jesus is a really special person to me, he changed my life..."
"Ok, that's great, not interested..."
"Could I just give you a pamphlet sir, maybe you could come to our..."
"Ok, f*ck off."

Not a tanty, I actually found it amusing. Just wanted to share.

Des: That was today's shift. Might not make the Kingy tomorrow, I'm working till 7.30. See how I go.
