Hello, Dr. Freud?

My friend Joanie (Real Name: Joanie) works in the Customer Service Department of a large company.

As with most big businesses these days, the folks at her work are given a script they have to recite when they answer their phones.

(I recently called a local bank and a woman answered the phone saying, in one long breath, something like "Hello my name is Margaret and you've reached the Mayberry Branch of the Happy Customer Citizens People's Bank where prompt and efficient service is our number one priority how can I help you today?" I just started laughing, and so did she. )

Anyway, Joanie has to answer the phone with some canned script too and then ask "And whom am I speaking with today?"

Yesterday, she overheard a cube buddy answering HER phone, and the woman, after finishing her lines, asked the customer "And whom am I sleeping with today?"

So So SOOO wish I was the customer on the other end of the line.
