Ma Bell: The Panty Bandit
Working in the Business Office back in the day could be strange at times. In the present day, this would be referred to as a Call Center. You would think that all of the calls coming in were run of the mill requests for some type of service, maybe a billing question, or a complaint. However, we sometimes got bizarre calls, and sometimes from extraordinary people. You can reference A Call From Marnie on my blog to read an example of the strangeness. And while we all did get some weird calls from customers, I personally never expected to get an x-rated complaint about an employee. But it happened. Our office was always hectic. It was the growth area for the Dallas area. New apartment complexes and homes were being built and spreading over the North Dallas suburbs at an incredible rate. Most of the apartment dwellers were young, single people. Due to all of the growth in the area we served, we were horribly busy all of the time. Looking back on it, it was kind of a nightmare.
