A university education working overtime (cc @UofTMagazine)
October 4, 2011 § 1 Comment
Just hung up after this conversation. The time is 9:30.
Guy calling from U of T: “Hello, my name is Mohamed. May I please speak to [unrecognizable mispronunciation of what I *think* was my wife’s name]?”
Me: “No, I’m afraid she’s indisposed.”
Mo: “Oh, she’s passed away?”
Me: “…”
Mo: “…”
Me: “No, she’s not at liberty to take this call.”
Mo: “Oh she’s busy.”
Me: “That’s right.”
Mo: “Can you say when would be a good time to call to update her on the university’s latest news and initiatives?”
Me: “Try before 9:30.”
Mo: “Before 9:30?”
Me: “Yeah it’s a little late. Goodnight.”
