Now what do I do?
 
The loved one calls me last night.

She has a new employee and she wants me to call her to help "train" her. Never mind the bad grammar.

This call will cost money. I demanded a discount...no word on the response (lost cell signal in rural WY)...yet.

So, so I do the secret shopper thing or be upfront about who I am and why I'm on the line?

LJ, I *know* your response already!

Brian

oooh, better do the secret shopper thing, cause if you were to tell the "trainee" who you were and it didn't work out (job) - they could tell your "loved" one that you told who you were and then "loved one" would be ticked at you.

theotherguy 10-09-2007 05:15 PM

I am very confused.

Have you ever called a friend or loved one to pretend to be a telemarketer to

a. see if they recognize your voice

and

b. see if they would buy the ridiculous thing you try to sell them?

were you gonna say..." Brian, what the fuck are you talking about?" cuz, then you'd be right.

monster 10-09-2007 08:12 PM

the loved one hires customer support peeps? If so, how would it help train them if you told them who you were?

zippyt 10-09-2007 08:18 PM

I bet is something along the ligns of Phone sex operator ,

monster 10-09-2007 09:17 PM

rereading, you could well be right there, zips.

monster 10-09-2007 09:17 PM

We need to get her together with fargon

BrianR 10-10-2007 09:52 AM

Zippy nailed it.

jester 10-10-2007 11:35 AM

Well, that's different. You're screwed.

Cicero 10-10-2007 12:36 PM

Holy Crap.....zippy's goood...!!

I couldn't figure out for the life of me what in the hell was going on....

So...how'd it go Brian? Can you have her fired for not giving you a woody?

This seems odd......

zippyt 10-10-2007 05:17 PM

Holy Crap.....zippy's goood...!!

Thats what ALL the girls say !!!! ;)

Actualy I just pay attention , Brian has hinted around about a LOT of things !!!!

Or you can just look at his sig line

theotherguy 10-10-2007 05:19 PM

You should be paid to help train. Not have to pay.

lumberjim 10-10-2007 09:51 PM

so...how did you meet your lady again, brian?

BrianR 10-11-2007 02:05 PM

lj....I met her in a truck stop. Really!

zippyt 10-12-2007 08:14 AM

Brian was that you and the Mrs I saw at a FlynJ truck stop in Olive branch Ms about a month ago , Dude was leadeing her around the parking lot with a dog leash , and she had on a dog color ???

BrianR 10-12-2007 01:39 PM

Er, no. She won't roll with me until I get a truck with a bathroom in it.

Sundae 10-13-2007 05:48 AM

There's a souvenir cup thread somewhere around here that I could direct you to...

BrianR 10-19-2007 11:39 PM

So it's been ten days now. Still no mention of it by her.

Therefore:

Dodged bullet or not?

Discuss.

Not likely. In about a week you're going to hear "If you don't know why I'm mad at you then I'm certainly not going to tell you!"

Then in about four months, you'll ask her to do a favor for you ... she has noted this, you may be sure.
