'Sup dudes.
I did a little work experience at my stepdads firm the other week. Basically he's head solicitor of a firm that supplies lawyers, etc to music artists and record labels :D . Anyway, I had to mission it to his office in Fulham to take over for 3 hours while him and his lawyer homeboys went to the office christmas party, which basically means I had to pick up the phone when it rang and take messages.
One of the messages I took was from a delightful bitch from MTV, it kinda went like this:
Me: Hello, <companies name>, how may I help?
MTV: Hi, this is <bitches name> from MTV. I need the dates for the blahblahblah....
Me: Woah, hang on. Is there anyone you'd like to speak to personally?
MTV: What? Who is this?
Me: Sorry, noones here at the moment, can I...
MTV: Put me through to <my stepdad>.
Me: He's not in right now, he's at the off...
MTV: Put me through to <stepdad's partner>.
Me: I'm sorry but there's noone here right now, can I take a message?
MTV: There's noone there right now?!
Me: No, they're at the offi...
MTV: I need to speak to a lawyer, put me through to a lawyer... Please.
Me: I'm sorry, everyone's out, can I take a...
MTV: What do you mean everyone's out? How can the whole office be out? I need to talk to a lawyer.
Me: Well everyone's at the office Christmas party, can I PLEASE take a message for you?
MTV: No. <hangs up>
About 30 seconds later the phone rings again.
Me: Hello <stepdad's company>, how can I...
MTV: So your telling me there isn't a single person there I can talk to?
Me: No, there isn't. Why don't I take a message for you?
MTV: I don't want you to take a message, if I did i'd ask you wouldn't I?
Me: ...uhh
MTV: I need to speak to a lawyer.
Me: Well it's not gonna happen 'cause there arn't any, shall I take a message or not?
MTV *silence with some mumbled swearing* No, actually, you can't.
Me: OK. Sorry I can't be...
*hangs up*
Fucking bitch man. :mad: Properly going on at me, i've never heard anything like it. Is everyone with a job in the media industry like that? My stepdad assures me they are.
Yeah, so you have the right to call the people at MTV pricks, do so with pride. ;)
Oh yeah, I spoke to Joss Stone too. :cool: Should've told her how fine she is.
Laters.
