Tax Dollars Inaction
 
User leaves a message, barely enunciating her name and only giving her first.

I call the # she left.

Jane - "HEY JIM!!!!  Oh wait, this ain't Jim."

Bob - "Yea, so who is this?"

Jane - "Jane."

Bob - "Jane who?"

Jane - "It's Jane Smith!" (clearly insinuating that she is the one and only Jane in our entire organization)

Bob - "Ok, and you just want to know if the printer is on the network?"

Jane - "Yea."

Bob - "Can you tell me if the printer has an ethernet-"  (she quickly interrupts)

Jane - "Say whaaaaaat?

Bob - "Yea, I knew that word was going to be an issue.  Does anyone near you know what an ethernet cable is?"

Jane - "No.  Not down here."

Bob - "Can you ask?"

Jane - "Hey y'all, anyone know what an ethernet cable is?"

(in the background I hear) - "Yes.  It's the cable that connects to the back of your computer."

Bob - "Who was that?"

Jane - "Lisa."

Bob - "Ok, just let me talk to Lisa."
