Aug. 2nd, 2008 02:43 pmi took a call from a woman last night who wanted to know how to use her call-waiting on her new phone. (i work for a warranty company and the line she called into has nothing to do with teaching ppl how to use their phone services.) at the end of the call - after explaining i wasn't a tech, i told her to try hitting the button marked "flash" when she hears the call waiting beep - she got a little chatty and asked where i was; i told her canada. then yadda yadda typical questions from older, southern, american lady yadda yadda and then she asked if we had a lot of catholics here.

"i'm not really sure, ma'am. i think we're mostly atheists up here. i mean we're very multicultural and there are a lot of different religions, but the general consensus is pretty much atheist."
i have no idea what prompted me to say it, but i somehow managed to deliver it sincerely and without offending her (she had said she was christian.) she was a little surprised - but she was still pretty happy about figuring out her call waiting. she told me to have a really good night and she'd be wishing blessings upon me.
