I asked a woman out on a date. She turned me down and said I had a face like the back of a boat.
I didn’t say anything, just gave her a stern look.

A local lad asked the Pope to help him with his hearing. The Pope placed his hands on the lad's ears and asked, "How is your hearing now?" He replied, "I don't know, it's on Wednesday."
I sometimes need to review customer calls at work. It is very 😴

When I was a programmer I worked on one of the first call centres in the country
over the years I got to know quite a few of the managers and similar people at the place
They used to listen into a lot of calls in order to make sure that the staff were being "remembering their training " and all that
In that place they were ver much focussed on helping the staff do what they were supposed to do and listening to them if they had suggestions
The people on the phones quite liked being picked to be listened to as they had to be informed after the event and they were then on their average performance rate for the rest of teh shift - rather than having targets
That started off as something the Union forced through but turned out to be a good thing for both sides
It also meant that if I was looking for problems with the system I could go and sit with a user and she (they were nearly all female) would be happy about it bcaus it gave her an easy day from then on - and so did her mate on the rest of the carousel they wrorked at
Sitting next t4 Scouse girls for an hour of so while wearing a suit could be an experience though
It did teach me a lot - mostly not of use to fixing the system
of topic but interesting
we had a problem where a customer's number was typed in and the system crashed sometimes
we fixed a few problems but one user was still having the problem
so I was dispatched to sit with her
anyway - she was a big girl inmany ways - personally - waist size and - err - lets just say chest size
(wait this is relevant - honest gov)
and personality - in a way only Scouse women do
anyway I am sitting next to her and chatting as it is not a busy day
she is answering calls when they come in and dealing with them and all is well
then a call comes in and the custoer asks about an item in the catalogue
now at teh time the screen were just 80x24 text based terminals - no graphics
so they had a proper paper catalogue between the 4 of them. The woman on her right had the catalogue so she handed it over
and the woman I was sitting with leant over to get it
and the system crashed
she quite rightly soke to the customenr and handd her over to another person to deal with the query
and asked me if I had seen that
I had
I was divided between not laughing and wetting myself - but trying to be professional
so I had to explain to her - a basic Scouse woman - with 3 others listening
that as she leant over her left breast had pressed down on the zero key on the keyboard and typed in 8 zeroes as a customer number
which crashed the system
poor woman had to be allowed to run to the loo as she was literally wetting herself laughing
and all 4 of them were taken off the phones until they recovered
I was not all that much better
and nor was the Office Manager when I told him!!!
anyway - yes - at least in the old days when I were a lad - they are used
sometimes it shows where the users boob goes!!
