Mistaken sex-entity
I was packing up - getting ready to leave work on time for once when I received this call:
Me: *department name*, Emille (pronounced as Emily) speaking..
Other lady (OL): Hi, could I speak to 'A-mil' please?
Me: It's 'Emily'.
OL: Oh.. is it? Could I speak to 'Emily' please?
Me: This is Emille speaking.
OL: Oh.. I'm SO sorry about that. I've been corresponding with you for months via e-mail and had been expecting a guy... I'm so sorry..
Me: *chuckles* That's alrite, I get it all the time. Where did u say u were calling from again?
OL: From "insert company name", I'm just chasing up the $200,000 reversal we requested 2 months ago.
--- a few minutes later ---
Me: I'll give you a call back as soon as I find out more about the claim. What did you say your name was again?
OL: Pat..from 'company name'. I'm sorry again about the name...
Me: *thinking* - It's alrite, all this while, I thought you were a guy too.. a 50-something, burly man with a moustache who wears shorts and knee-hi socks with sandals to work..
......just like the guy who works in IT on level 2 :P
