Overheard in my office…

KM walks into the open plan office…

KM: B, I looked at this document and it doesnt look right to me, can you take a look?

KM looks up…

KM: Oh, she isnt at her desk.

B gets a letter from the bank asking her to call them.  She dials a few times.

B: It keeps telling me the number doesn’t exist.  Its the number on the letter.  This country is going to the dogs!

5 minutes later…

B: Oh, I dialed the wrong number.

Each month we do a debit order run and we use a small private bank to facilitate this.  R sends the data to them and we usually wait up to 24 hours for it to be processed.  Today they processed the run really fast.

R: The bank has confirmed the run was processed.  It only took them half an hour!

B: Wow, that was fast, they obviously dont have much work today.

R: Maybe they want us to vote ANC.

Im still trying to figure out her logic…

This is an oldy that I was reminded of this morning.

B walks into the office and puts her bag down at her desk, she sits down, turns her computer on, looks around and says…

B: Why is it so dark in here today? Are the lights not working?

She takes a moment…

B: Oh wait, Im still wearing my sunglasses!

Its J’s inaugural Overheard moment!

J set up a Facebook group and was posting articles for the members to read, I went to inform him that every time he posted an article I received a notification email and that it was a bit spammy.

I suggested he look in the FB help menu to see if there was a way to turn off the notifications from the group side.

Me: Scroll down to the bottom and click through to the help page.

J: There is no help link.

J (scrolling down and reading the links): About, advertising, create a page, developers, careers, privacy, terms, help, oh, help.

Me (laughing): That is so worthy of going on the site!
