Talene Started conversation Jul 22, 2000
At the clinic, I learned that the woman answering the phone does not like being called a switchboard operator, even though all she does is operate a PBX. I also learned that I have hitchhiker's guide on the brain.
Me: By the way, do you know what "42 switchboard" means?
Nurse: 42 switchboard? (looks at switch..er, I mean receptionist)
Receptionist: (audible sigh, glares at me and points at the PBX) I was told when this light comes on it means the lines are 42 switchboard.
Nurse: (light dawns) Oh, that's "forwarded to" not "42".
Receptionist: Ohhhhh
Me: Ohhhhh
Nurse: (just sighs and shakes her head)
Key: Complain about this post
