Official dials wrong number
A confused college administrator has received a failing grade from superiors for poor telephone management skills.
The administrator, who will remain nameless due to confidentiality regarding performance reviews, had to be sedated after having a conniption fit. The administrator's file also notes that the person dialed up several numbers and left several belligerent messages to people who could not help solve their problem. Telephone records show at least 15 calls were made within a 30 minute window.
The problem started when a last second catering order had to be placed due to a hastily called meeting. The administrator then proceeded to call Counseling and Student Services, then turned their ire towards the college's Helpdesk. Three calls were then placed in rapid succession to Fringe Hair Salon, where messages were left. A copy of the messages left with Fringe were made available to Distorter with the third being the most disturbing.
“It's me again. Will you please call me back. Pretty please with sugar and spice and everything nice. I'll owe one. Pretty please. If you don't call back I'll have you skewered and I'll knock you into the middle of next week.”
Other calls were made to the Alumni Office, Marketing and Communications, Fitness 101, Receiving, Reprographics, Facilities Management, Hardcore, CIXX, the Presidents Office and the Board of Governors.
When asked why food service providers on campus were not contacted the administrator purportedly threw another conniption and could not be reasoned with, yelling “Why would I call them, it doesn't make any sense to me to call them. How could they help me with my problem? It'd be like calling a newspaper editor to correct a story, when you should be calling a wordsmith. I called other areas and people that I know that have lunch meetings catered. You're all idiots, I'm the only sane one here.”
