Seriously. If more people actually thought about what their doing, they might actually do it properly. OK not me cos all I have to do is dance, but I'm talking about people who look at computers and stuff, I mean how hard is it to read stuff of a screen???
Like, this morning. I call the gym to book a class called Dance Jam - it's like aerobics except the instructor well fancies herself and does all these moves where she imagines she's in a music video and we muppets have to go along with her.
But back to booking. It goes like this:
NIKKI ON PHONE (that's me by the way, Ruby is my nickname): Hello, I'd like to book Dance Jam for tonight at 6, please.
[It's not rocket science, I reckon I was pretty clear with that.]
SECRETARY ON PHONE: Dance Jam? Sorry we don't do that class.
NIKKI: I think you do, I've been coming to it every Tuesday for the last six months.
SECRETARY: Hang on a sec.
[She puts phone down, much rustling. Picks it up again]
SECRETARY: I just checked the class timetable. You're right, we do that class.
[I know!!]
NIKKI: So can I book for six tonight?
SECRETARY: Are you a member?
NIKKI: Yes. My names Nicola Tuesday. Like the day of the week.
SECRETARY: OK...
[Some tapping on a computer]
SECRETARY: Oh how funny, we already have a Nicola Tuesday booked. There must be two of you. Small world, isn't it?
[Then I remember]
NIKKI: Actually that must be me and I've forgotten I've booked.
SECRETARY: Oh. Right.
Okay, technically I should have remembered I had already booked but MAN! That was one dumb secretary. Maybe I should write my script about that... Except then the secretary at the gym will find out and get me somehow, possibly when I'm in the showers and she could nick all the stuff out my locker including my underwear. OK I've thought about that too much.
Happy Tuesday!
