My Reputation Precedes Me.....
I work for a payroll company - well, it is actually employee leasing, but same general idea. A lot of our employees are economically challenged, even more of them are intellectually disadvantaged. This leads to MANY headaches with their paychecks.
One of our clients has been trying to help one of his/our employees get clear on the whole process which involved bringing him to the office today to pick up a check that was returned (I am amazed at how many of them don't know their own address) and sign him up for direct deposit. I have talked to this client several times before, we've worked with his company for years, but I've never met him and I wasn't in the office when they came this morning.
The client called later and, the phone having been passed to me, the conversation wwent sort of like this ~
Client: "Who is this?"I tried to get him to tell me why I got that moniker, but he just chuckled and moved on.
Me: "This is B"
Client: "Crazy B?"
When I got off the phone, my Mom/boss said, "Did he call you crazy?" I asked her what she had told him that would give him that idea, and she denied saying anything. Then she says:
"You must have talked to him at least once for him to know that"
