Last Monday, I had the most interesting conversation I’ve ever had with a local office contact in the three years I’ve worked for my company. The farthest I have ever gotten with anyone else before this was “have a nice day.” This happened via office messenger chat.
S: Hi, is it possible just to run off a rec to clean those items? I have them booked. The client just likes to see a clean rec where the only breaks are genuine unknown items.
Me: Ok sure, hold on.
S: Thanks!
Me: Ok, it’s been reuploaded.
S: Sweet, you’re a star! Thanks!
Me: Well same to you!
S: (inserts emoticon with sunglasses here)
Me: (inserts emoticon of a star here)
S: Haha!
Me: Well you did say star, right?
S: That’s why my smiley had sunglasses, we shine too damn brightly!
Me: I request the highest of fives for that comment, hahaha!
S: Why don’t people as fun and nice as you work in the Dublin office?!
Me: Well I wish all LO’s I work with are like you too!
S: I aim to please!
Me: Most Irish people I’ve met are nice though. And they like to drink a lot. 😀
S: Ah yes, we are the nicest, best looking heavy drinkers ya will ever meet!
Me: Ok I am not sure about the “best looking” part. Just kidding!
S: Hahaha! You’ll be adding me on LinkedIn next to find out!
Me: Well sure… why not. You have a couple of hours to change your pic.
S: I am proud of my current one!! Ha! Ireland’s Next Top Model….
Me: Hahaha. I think I found your LinkedIn.
S: And….? Would Tyra Banks approve?
Me: Yes! You got the “smize” down perfectly!
S: “smize”?! smile with my eyes?!
Me: Yeah I thought you knew about Tyra! That’s her term.. she always tells the next top models to “smize.”
S: I only know the name of the show and the host, I tend not to get the popcorn out, paint my nails and watch it…. I am not that type of guy…! Ha!
Me: Oh really, and what type of guy are you then?
S: One that likes women for a start! We prefer nightclubs and pubs here! Ha! We’ve come a long way from talking about cash recs now!!
Me: I’d say nightclubs are definitely a long way from cash recs. Haha.
Me: Ok sure, hold on.
S: Thanks!
Me: Ok, it’s been reuploaded.
