Ok. I am admittedly crabby today. I have interviewed so many nanny''s the last couple of weeks and none of them are wowing me.
So I called to make an appointment at a salon and the girl who answer the phone keeps making her voice like three octaves higher than normal when she talks to me. It''s like they are talking to little kids or something. I hate the ''perky'' receptionist thing. And I don''t know why they do it. It makes them sound kind of, well, dumb.
I used to work for a company that owned several large apartment complexes and the women who worked there were notorious for this. I called one up one day to get some info on the capital they were spending and the girl was talking 4 octaves higher and being all perky. She had no idea why I was calling her and after explaining it to her she said something like ''ooooh, that''s too complicated for meeeee....you''ll have to talk to my manager''. I just don''t get why some women have no interest in at least not appearing dumb.
