Me chasing work on getting the generous perk of free WiFi setup at the new home.
Me: “Oh Daaaaan….was just wondering if I could be one of your difficult users and pester you…”
Jane, the nice lady who logs our helpdesk calls starts laughing. “No, FreeLancer, say ‘Could you help a colleague out?'” 😀
Me: “Yeah, was just wondering if you could help a colleague out and when Vodafone do get the hard-wiring in place can we (or even I can do it) get them to expedite the service to make-up for the delays etc… ?”
Dan: “FreeLancer, you know what Vodafone (the supplier and major cell phone corp.) thinks of us little people? (Jokefully and using his hands): We’re like little fish in a big ocean. Just think about like…You know those little, tiny fish-”
Me: “Plankton, you mean.”
Laughs from Jane. “Yeah, that’s a really good example, actually,” says Dan.
Oh, how I promised myself I wouldn’t be *too* desperate without Internet connection! 😛 Boy, I’m extremely lucky to have an Internet phone! 🙂 What & HOW did we get on with life before the Internet days, I don’t know!! 😛
