Indeed. Though I don't think even a professor of theoretical physics could have worked the phone system in my previous office.Love eyes for you being a badass and an awesome person, not the shitty situation.
Hear hear! And not everyone needs higher learning! I swear, some of the jobs I see that *insist* on a 4 year degree are ridiculous. Like, I can't learn how to answer a multi-line phone without a degree???
Pole it is, Bambi...My parents pushed me out the door to go away to college. Then I came home and finished up the next three years and as soon as I graduated, they booted me out. I wanted to stay and save and get a nest egg, but they wanted their independence!
fyi, when I say your name in my head, it comes out "amananook"
I legit don’t know how to use our phone at work… I can pick up, put on hold and dial out… but ask me to transfer a call? … uhhhm.. how about I just give you the number instead.
Glad I wasn’t the only one.
I thought I told you to hush!!! (I'm such a troll
)
Next time we accidentally get a call from Jesus patched through by mistake, I'll pass that on. Although that place had Satan on speed dial...
I genuinely think that use of the phone system should be taught at every place of employment. Especially if they want a specific script to be said when answering
(yes I've been shouted at because I was taught and I was "too professional" 
)
Fair enough.
That doesn’t even make sense… how can you be “too professional”?I genuinely think that use of the phone system should be taught at every place of employment. Especially if they want a specific script to be said when answering
BOOB EMPRESS!
Reminds me of the joke: What do you call the guy who graduated dead last in his class at medical school? Doctor.At least you can be called Dr...
Another thing that kills me is the number of classes I attend they have absolutely no bearing on my field. I think you should be able to get a degree without having to pay hundreds of dollars, a class, every week, for electives. Why do I have to take a class on Art appreciation, if I'm taking one on Art therapy. Only one of the 2 is requiredHear hear! And not everyone needs higher learning!

A bachelor's degree for lead stock boy.... if only we had such rigorous standards for presidential candidates, though in the opposite way - no one can run for president if they haven't worked & lived on minimum wage.
That’s how you can tell that university was intended to be about higher learning and well rounded learning… but if we’re treating university as a requirement for certain types of jobs electives shouldn’t be required.
That and a buck fifty would have got me on the New York subway in 1999...At least you can be called Dr...
Fucking rights!! Politicians are so fucking out of touch with reality
Or, given the prevalent Egyptian theme, Nefer Titti?
I never thought of that when I made it up. I just thought it was straight forward, although a bit unimaginative...
That's very true... we're so fixated on "liberal arts" education in the U.S. I know in other countries, it's not the same... I want to say maybe in the UK and maybe Australia & New Zealand, most bachelor's degrees are only 3 years, with a fourth year only if you're planning to go to graduate school. Someone from any of those places please correct me if I'm wrong!
When I was working two jobs, I had to handle two very different phone systems and I did ok with that part. It was when I'd answer my "real" job phone with "You're a guest at Target, how may I direct your call?" that I got into trouble.I genuinely think that use of the phone system should be taught at every place of employment.
