So I'm kickin' some ass and takin' some names at work all day on Friday. I had been on the phone to prospects, setting appointments, and generally feeling really good about my productive day. It was a good day and I was motivated to stay at my desk over my lunch break and work on a few things on my "honey-do" list. Call the baby-sitter, check on flights for Thanksgiving, pick my nose, etc. etc. I'm flying through my list with the same speed and accuracy I've been doing with my work.
Next Up: Check Delta Flights for Thanksgiving. I've got Delta skymiles that are about to expire next year and since I don't fly Delta anymore, I'm hoping to cash in on a little free-miles before I close the book on Delta all together. The only problem is they don't really fly much out of my local airport so I really need to speak with a representative. A Big problem I have with the internet is that companies don't like to just hand over their customer service number... go figure. I guess they either expect you to figure it out yourself on-line or just go away. Not a problem for me, I do a google search for Airline numbers and find a whole list.
Look right there! It's the Delta Domestic Number! Don't believe me? Try it for yourself.
1-800-221-1212
Just one word of caution. Don't get your 1's and your 2's mixed up. Like say for instance...
1-800-221-2121
I'm warning you! Don't believe me? Try it for yourself.
Me? I'm expecting a call from Information Technology and Human Resources within the week asking for my resignation!

Heh heh..
The telephone number for Compaq support was a couple of digits away from an adult chat line. If you dialed 1-800 instead of 1-888, you got the wrong one.
I never could remember which was which and always inevitably gave the wrong number to a client who was asking to call the support company.
Porn lines are funny. You can dial 1-800 and then spell out any nasty phrase and it is guaranteed to be a sex line. GUARANTEED!!! We used to do that at work all the time. Before I worked in HR.
Gyuss, I'm sure you got a few funny/frantic calls from those clients!
Dags, I remember that story. So as an HR expert, what is going to get me in more trouble? The fact that I dialed the number or the fact that I stayed on the line for 45 minutes?
I think you dropped a decimal point. Shouldn't that be 4.5 minutes?
LOL, I had a similar experience just the other day as well.
Guess it is true, misery does indeed love company.

you can go 4.5 minutes? Wow! What magic pills are you taking?
chillax, my mistake... thanks for pointing it out.
donkey, you can imagine my surprise
gyuss, i just think about that time one time in our dorm room.
ummm, i'm gonna guess this isn't something i want to dial from home. or work for that matter.
