It's April. That's why everything is all screwed up.

I rarely get to answer the phone anymore at work since I spend about half of my time at court and the other half, um, not answering the phone (we have other people to do that). Just 2 minutes ago I was busy reading posts on this website I found via Nemesis and enjoying reminiscing the days where I dealt more with customer service. Just then the phone rang and I realized there was only one girl up front at the moment and I should answer the phone and help out. Here's how my conversation went...

Me: Adult Probation and Parole this is Kim

Him: Um yeah, I made an appointment with **** and I lost my paper and I REALLY don't want to miss an appointment.

Me: Ok, so you've already been in this month to check in and make an appointment?

(The offenders have the first 5 working days to do this and since this is only day #2 I was somewhat surprised that a) he'd been in already and b) he'd lost his paper already).

Him: Yeah, yeah, I checked in and made an appointment and lost my paper.

Me: Ok, I'm pulling up ****'s calendar now, let me just get to the right month....

Him: Oh wait. It's April. That's why everything is all screwed up. I haven't been in to make an appointment yet. Nevermind. Bye.


I miss answering the phone sometimes.
