Woodchipper? Say what?

Ring. Ring. "Hello, Consulting Company, Senior Recruiter speaking, how can I help you?"

"Uh, yeah. I'm having trouble with a wood-chipper I just bought. Can you send a consultant over?"

(Laughs)"Uh...wood-chipper? Sorry sir, we're an information technology company".

"A what company? Can you send someone or not?"

"Sorry sir, wood chipper maintenance is not one of our offerings."

"Oh, I got your number from the yellow pages...sorry."


Well, that was in interesting phone call. I'm a bit flummoxed as to exactly how this person found us in the yellow pages and thought we could help him out with that wood-chipper!

Good stuff though.

Thank God today is Friday!
