Hello...This is --------- from ----------. Who am I speaking with, please?
Hello...My name is Gerald...
(Oh no! Gerald again!)...But I say, All right, Gerald. Before we begin, may I just ask a few quick questions? And I get initial information.
What is on your mind today, Gerald?
(What else? His ex-girlfriend AGAIN...) And I listen and listen and listen...Usually I can move callers through the process as quickly as I have to, but this time it is not going to work...We are now on to bodily injuries he has sustained in his short life....
I clear my throat, make entering-the-conversation kinds of noises....
Now it is his ex-girlfriend's family, her friends...
Yes, I know, I know...I have heard it all before - exact and in detail...
Back to bodily injuries
I am getting restless. I grimace and gesture impatiently, but no one can see....For which I am glad...
And finally I interrupt and just barge in with some spiritual challenge - not very nicely, but not very rudely - somewhere in the middle...
Click...He hangs up.
The phone rings immediately and he is back - Sorry, my phone disconnected
(Oh, no it didn't...You were shopping around for a different counselor....)
I resume the spiritual challenge...
Click.
The phone rings again...Different number, but probably Gerald again. He calls from different numbers
Hello, this is .....Click
I am so glad God is not like me.
But I am so glad that not all callers are like Gerald.

Mom, that is HILARIOUS! He sounds very high-maintenance. And no wonder he has an EX-girlfriend:). Can you imagine babysitting that kind of emotional immaturity in a man?
Hilarious! Keep clearing your throat and barging in. It obviously works like a charm to get rid of Gerald!
haha....I am seeing that maybe some of my temper is from you:)
