Utah State...

How may I direct your call?


So I have a new job... the USU switchboard. It is actually quite fun and you hear all sorts of interesting names. One of my favorites is Glasscoffin. Yes isn't lovely? The best is when you are trying to answer without laughing. It doesn't help when the person you are working with starts singing a funny song in a weird voice that makes you laugh right when you say "Utah State University, how may I direct your call?".
Things can also start getting interesting when you have been sitting here for 8 hours and you are getting a little tired. Sometimes your fingers forget how to type, or you completely missed what the person was saying because you momentarily spaced out (not that this has ever happened to me...). My favorite is when I accidentally answered, "I.T. Service Desk, my name is... I mean Utah State...". Yeah that was only slightly embarrassing. I also sometimes can only think of "Studio 170, Salon and Spa". Luckily I haven't slipped and actually said that one yet. That's my other job.
Other than that, it is great because I will be able to do my homework when school starts while I am here. SCORE!!! This will probably be my last official college job. Weird. I only have one more year and so I will hopefully graduate in MAY! Finally! But then I have to figure out what I am going to do with the rest of my life from there, so I guess I will just keep answering "Utah State University, how may I direct your Call?"
