Lucky. We're supposed to get rain and sleet on top of our 5 inches, so shoveling is going to be a bitch and a half.

I think this about the third time the weather has been talked about so far today.

It's raining here.

Weather is the default conversation when there's nothing else to talk about.

I know. At the call center I used to work at they always told us to fill dead air with menial chit chat, for example "How's the weather there". I of course said screw that, I don't care about menial chit chat so the customer is getting dead air and they're going to have to like it. Made me laugh though every time I walked past somebody and they were asking asking about the weather.

It became funnier when we were no longer able to give any clue as to our location due to a bomb threat that was received, since the obvious follow up question for the customer is "How's the weather.....Where are you located?"
"I'm sorry. Due to security reasons I am not allowed to disclose my location"

I doubt your location would've been that hard to find if someone really wanted to find it.

2 girls at the same time.

We only dealt with American customers and most of them seemed too stupid to care. Many a time I got "It's so nice to be talking to an American" followed by various racist comments about people from India. Since I speak english clearly, I'm obviously American. At least a couple of people determined that based on my accent I was Australian. One lady that sat beside me for a while was British and had an obvious accent. She was once told that she couldn't be understood and the customer insisted he be transferred to someone who speaks english.
