Scheduler: Great. The closing will be at different place. It will be at 1234 Sesame St., Fort Lauderdale.

Mee: Uh...uh...uh...Fort Lauderdale?

The one track mindset drives me nuts.

This is a very good example of the great training. Why not just use one of those phone systems with questions and dialing 1 for yes, 2 for no?

Re: The one track mindset drives me nuts.

Had the same type of conversation several months ago with a scheduler. He couldn't understand why I couldn't hop in the car and drive to Texas for a signing. Told him I would do it for $2,000.00, end of conversation.

Does anyone remember the famous Abbott & Costello routine: "Who's on first"? ROFlPMP

HILARIOUS!!!! I needed that today

I had to tell one SS today "yes, You've called me about that closing (twenty minutes from now) four times today. Each time I explained that my day is already booked, and that it is a sixty minute drive and that my fee is more than double what you are offering. Would you mind making a note of that this time?"

Why are you so difficult to get along with?. Just take the job as it was offered, get on your camel and get there. See, case solved and yes, they do sell maps of the United States in India. If perhaps you can't find one there you can send away to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue where they also have maps of the 57 States, prayer rugs ans Saris on sale until January 20th, 2012.

We thank you for your inquiry.

Or you could enroll in the Michelle Bachmann Prepratory School for Rightwingers, where you will be taught such misinformation as that Hindus use prayer rugs.

Your post belongs in Just Politics.
