no introduction
Me: Front Desk
SC: I have a strange quesiton to ask.
Me: Okay
SC: What time is it?
Me: 1135pm
SC: Oh, cuz my alarm clock reads 1235am
Me: Oh no. Well, sometimes people like to change the clocks to their home's local time (true story). Well I can see if I have one down here to help walk you through fixing that (briefly on hold, no alarm clocks here at desk). Well, I don't seem to have one down here but there should be a switch on the clock on the back that changes it for daylight savings time.
SC: (struggles saying she sees nothing then spots it) Oh DST, okay. (flips it) Okay that just changed it to 136am!!!!!! eleventy!!!
Me: (honestly, dear readers, I had to teach myself how to work all of the alarm clocks we have ever had...what is with the business travelers with their advanced degrees???) Well, man...hmm... I can't visualize a way to walk ya through it and I have no clock to look at to do so.... The best thing I can ask is if I can have someone come up there & fix it really quick?
SC: NO NO NO NO That just won't do. I am ready for bed.
Me: Well, we could also hand you a set correctly one through the door (they have battery memory)?
SC: NOOO I am ready for bed, that won't work either. I have a wakeup call set for 6am (I looked over and saw it), but could I also get one for 6:05am?
Me: Okay yep see the 6am one. I can write down the other one but I have to let you know I can't garantee the second one.
SC: What? Why not?
Me: Well, I can only program in one wakeup call, and have to do the other one manually after the first one.
SC: Well, I am just afraid I won't wake up!!!! (Okay why is it always our fault that people can't be mature adults and get up with the really loud-ass phone is ringing like crazy???) How come you can't just set a second wakeup??
Me: Well, I wrote you down. But, our system only allows us to set one wakeup call at a time. So when it comes to 6:05 I have to be there to put it in manually, and we can't garantee it because the computer does all of the rest & we might get busy during the call time.
SC: (getting super pissed at me) Well, I just don't get it.
Me: (trying to be helpful) Well do you own a cell phone?
SC: well, yeah....
Me: Most of them have alarm clocks if you wanted to set one of there to be sure?
SC: I have it plugged in! It was dead! That won't work.
Me: (?????? Wanting to clarify with I mentioned it. And even when my phone is plugged in the alarm clock friggn works!) Well, I use my cell for my alarm and that works well for me, so that is why I thought of it.
SC: WHATEVER.
Me: (need to get this PITA call over with already!) Okay well the 2nd call is written down to be put in for ya.
SC: .....okay....bye!
That crap took WAY too long.
