Everybody who knows me better knows that it is almost impossible to silence me without threat of brute force.
Yesterday it was about time again:
Call at the medical supply store:
Ring, ring..
Hello, here medical supply store Deliverix*, my name is Ignorix*!
Good afternoon, my name is Löw (that’s my real name), may I talk to Ms Compressi* please?
Just a moment, (waiting loop: please hold the line, please hold the line…)
Ms Compressi* is at lunch…, what’s the matter?
I would like to know if my delivery is on its way!
Why didn’t you just say that, what’s your name?
(Her tonality was quite snappy.)
Löw!
Lo, Lö , Loe, what’s your name?…
Löw, like the coach of the German national football team!
Löw, the name reminds me of something… (national football coach???)
Löw, I don’t know…, I don’t know… what is your first name?
Steffen
Löw, Löw… there was something… just a moment, (please hold the line…)
My PC today… Löw, Löw, I know the name… (please hold the line…)
Your delivery is on its way!
Now I know why I know your name:
I have packed your parcel!!!
I could still utter a “Have a nice day”, then my head sunk slowly onto my desk.
Today I was quite surprised that the correct goods were in the parcel. Usually this is packed by weight. Therefore the delivery note was missing today. So what…
*Names were falsified!
