I really think I only get by at work because I look a bit pathetic all the time and people take pity on me
#people really let me get away with insane levels of incompetence and for what
#case in point: the phone rang and my immediate reaction was to say ‘oh god why’ and then pick it up before i could second guess it
#i babbled ‘hello; [name of workplace]; ellen lastname speaking?’ and then i was so anxious i didn’t listen to what the person said
#i understood enough to realise we were either being auditied OR asked to make an order. both of these options made me panic because girl
#i am not even CLOSE to being equipped to do either of those things. two seconds ago i was disinfecting a shelf and now i’m talking
#to someone who seems to be welsh. i’m confused
#so i said ‘uhhhh i’m going to get a manager sorry. it’ll just be a minute’ and i leave the phone on the hook
#coincidentally the retail manager (NOT my manager but A manager) appears with a joiner who he is showing around and explaining some work
#that needs to be done; and i hand him the phone and am like ‘i have no idea who’s on the phone but they need to speak to a manager’
#he takes it from me and is like ‘[name] here. someone will call you back’ hangs up and looks at me like i’m some horrendous pleb
#‘it’s a wholesale frozen food company. tell [assistant catering manager] they called’ and i’m like ‘okay sorry. thanks’
#i felt soooooo stupid but nothing bad happened! and the assistant manager said we don’t order from them anymore because their stuff isn’t
#good lol. so that was funny
#this is why i don’t answer phones girl.
#i was expecting it to be someone calling in sick (aka the only thing i was equipped to deal with) that was why i picked up tbh
#because like who else has SPECIFICALLY the catering number. why do these people have it. so weird
#but yeah. i really think i only got away with this because i’m so deeply pathetic looking lol
#like gerry could never get away with this sort of thing
#there’s a reason our boss’s boss asked gerry if he knew how to cash up yet and didn’t bother asking me. like. i OBVIOUSLY don’t know
#i can’t even be relied upon to answer a phone lmao. i MOP FLOORS WRONG
#world’s most incompetent barista over here ✨
