Revelations At Work

[kiaxet]

I'm starting to believe that at least 90% of the people who call asking to be connected to Public Safety have locked themselves out of their dorms.

Considering just how many calls I get per shift for Public Safety, that's kind of depressing.

On a completely unreleated note, HELLS YEAH KATSU!PEEP

I like the KatsuPeep. Shouldn't he be the one that got exploded in the microwave, though?

[kiaxet]

Deidara says the microwave doesn't do a good enough job and he'd rather katsu the thing himself.

Now, as to why I actually have any semblance of a Deidara muse, I have no idea...;;;

[feignperfection.livejournal.com]

Aw. But microwaves are fun. And microwavy. And Deidara muses are to be cultivated.

...WHERE DID YOU GET THAT ICON. WHERE.

Peepsu, un. >D

And that's...really sad. XD

KATSU

And tell me about it. XDb

Though one girl asked for Public Safety because she lost her wallet. :X Takes all types, dunnit.

I liked it when students who'd turned in their laptops for support would call our direct line because they'd forgotten the number for the operator and wanted to be transferred there.

Our temp had a great system for dealing with those. "I'm sorry, you'd like wha--...oh, all right. Now, hold on just a moment, part of my job description is logging all our calls...okay, sorry to keep you waiting. Your name is......mmhmm. And you're calling because.....okay, you forgot how to press 0. Got it. I'll be sure to enter this into the system and we'll have an appropriate administrator contact you within 48-72 hours, workload permitting."

It was never the commuters who didn't know to dial 4000...always the on-campus ones.

...*dead from lawl* That's brilliant. I would so log a call like that.

I was talking with one of the guys who works the IT Help Desk the other day, and he said he logged a call as a wrong number because he couldn't bring himself to type, "Caller did not have computer plugged in."

What's really sad is that 1) Pepperdine gives you magnets and planners at the beginning of each year with contact info on them (the magnets have the number for EVERYTHING) and 2) Pepperdine's phone number is on every piece of stationery they send people ever. It's kinda hard to miss, and yet some people...

I love this job. It gives me the best stories. X3b

Quiet

[hazelchaz]

Oh, no, that's good news. It means that things are mostly quiet. For a public-safety office, boring is how they like it, isn't it?

It would be much scarier if 10% of your calls were lock-outs and 90% were something bad's going down, right?

o_o How did you find my LJ?

[kiaxet]

I'm actually a campus operator, so I'm connected to everybody.

And I'm just talking about the calls connected to the non-emergency Public Safety line. I've not had one for the emergency line (knock wood), so these calls are assumedly the nonfatal type.

Re: o_o How did you find my LJ?

[hazelchaz]

I found your LJ post when I was browsing the animelosangeles friends page.

Where did that Katsu!peep even come from?!

[kiaxet]

We were talking about exploding Peeps in microwaves in chat, and of course "explosion" pinged Deidara, and the icon was finally made by Nymph. :3
