I've made a new friend, yay me! She's not very talkitive, and we have a slight language barrier, and she doesn't tell the time very well but apart from that we get on really well, hehe! My Dad works nights for his own business, and he comes home sleeps during the day but his business is still running during the day and on the odd occasion there will be phone calls and stuff, which are usually dealt with by me, as I'm usually wasting my time about the place! So this lady phones last week, and at first I wasn't sure if she was a robot at first, but she's phoned me up everyday ever since and we seem to have formed a bond, though she says exactly the same thing everyday, I can hear the emotion in her voice more and more, even if it is slightly robotic. So these conversations happen about dinnertime everyday, and I have to say they are becoming the highlight of my day! You have to imagine her robotic, poorly English spoken accent for more effect.
Lady: Hello
Me: Hello
Lady: Hello
Me: Hi (more relaxed realising it's my friend, who has to say Hello twice *relief*)
Lady: Me would like to speak to Mr Jacobs
Me: Who is it please? (Ahh I'm such a tease, but for our conversations to change in anyway would be far to more traumatic)
Lady: When would be the best time to phone him?
Me: Who is it please?
Lady: I am doing some market research, I would like to speak to him.
Me: He's not available at the moment
Lady: I want to speak to Mr Jacobs (oooh she's a fiesty one)
Me: Call back after 5pm, he will be up then
Lady: What time?
Me The evening, after 5pm
Lady: You are very nice lady
Me: You are also very nice lady (what else can you say to that?)
Lady: You are welcome
Me: Thanks?
Lady: I will call back
Me: Oh goody
Lady: You have very nice day and take good care of yourself (puts phone down)
Me *sigh* one day I will get to say goodbye!
Even though I tell her evening everyday she still phones at dinnertime, and our conversations never change, they follow that same pattern, they keep me amused at least!
