i swear i did not write this
Michelle just linked me to one of the best receptionist rants i have ever read. so could not stop laughing. mostly because it's true & if i didn't laugh, i might cry. of course, would that i were "just a receptionist," but that has nothing to do with the price of tea in China.
the lesson from this little piece, for those of you not inclined to follow the link:
...the only thing you will get by being pushy is a pissed off receptionist. And, we remember voices of annoying ass bastards, so once you piss the gatekeeper off, it's pretty much over for you.
4 with their own thoughts:
I JUST explained this principle to my son the other day. I had an interview and when I was escorted into the director's office she told me that the receptionist had a) commented on how nice my resume was and b) commented that I was as nice as my resume.
I explained that you are ALWAYS nice to the secretary (I always am, even when it's not for an interview). I have even sent a thank you note to a secretary once when she gave me excellent directions and so forth for an out of state interview.
That was an hysterical post, by the way, and ooooooh so true!!! LOVE IT!!
Oh this is SO hilarious and I was starting to think that maybe, just maybe you wrote it, but since you said you didn't AND it appears to be from Seattle, then I guess you didn't. It's quite funny though!!
So hilarious! I spent a couple of years as a receptionist in an OB/GYN office where the doctors thought they were God and the women were often a little emotional. Anyone who has spent 2 minutes as a receptionist should read this. For that matter, anyone who has spoken to a receptionist should read this! Not that it would make any difference because we all know that receptionists are invisible (unless there is a problem, in which case the receptionist is obviously to blame)!
