Pal: Thank you for calling Woolworths Y* Bakery, this is Paul speaking. How may I help you?
[The way they make the poor Woolies peeps answer the phone cracks me up!]
Me: (sniggers) Um, what are you doing?
Pal: I’m in a meeting. Why?
Me: Call me back when you’re done.
Pal: Why?
Me: Talk to you soon, bye!
Beep beep beep.
Two minutes later.
Ring ring.
Me: Hello?

Me: I’m reeeeaaaaaallllllly sorry I didn’t talk to you first, but it’s only one unit and I figured, you know, I could do it?
Pal: What are you going to be doing?
Me: Um, Computing Studies. It’s a Bachelor of Technology. But I’m just going to do one unit first, because I just want to see if I like it and if I can manage.
Pal: Well, you’re pretty cluey. You’ll be good at that…
Me: Well I will try to be.
Pal: You know Brad? He does that.
Me: Does he? Cool.
Pal: Yeah, if he can do it, you can! (laughs)
Me: Thanks for being supportive! [Yes, I actually said that. Corny much?]
Pal: Yeah, cool, whatever, I’ve gotta go make a sponge [cake].
Me: K, bye!
Pal: Bye. Love you. Proud of you too.
