The most annoying ones will GET John and Scott's cell number and call directly.
Hey, Meg (or other office managers)...

I wish it worked that way
We use call forwarding so calls to Scott's number come to my phone.

Surprise John. Do a reverse call forwarding for the likes of that client.
And if John wants to remove the reverse forwarding, inform him (sweetly): It'll cost ya.
That way- Everybody wins

Hi Darcie... I manage the office for both of Mikey's locations. When someone asks for Mike/Davis/Ely directly I first ask them if they have a scheduling question and immediately mention that whoever they're asking for is out at a job, and that they dont have a way to take care of scheduling and reassure them they are talking to who they need to be to take care of their appointment needs. That always weeds out the telemarketers(they just hang up) and the people who have legit tech questions will then get a return call from the technician when they have a free moment(which I also mention could be the end of the day or as late as the following day). Cover your bases and let the rest roll off your back.

Don't blame your father. Saiger used his daughter as recruiters for the business. Pops had to give it a try.No, but I made the mistake of bringing home a guy and we turned him into one

So who canned him first? You or your dad?
That could have been awkward.

even I would like to hear your rendition, you are quite the storyteller, and it's always interesting to see your life from another's point of view.

Ouch! Yeah the would have been ugly but I suppose if dad had canned him first that could have caused some conflict between you two.
Oh well we all make mistakes. Well, except me of course.

Some people you just can't talk to. It's like we weren't even speaking the same language. Thanks, it's nice to meet you.

Remember this, YOU are in control. Men are a dime a dozen. You deserve to be treated like a queen and with respect.
If at anytime during the relationship the status quo changes, its time to change the man.
Oh and your father hasn't told me anything about your ex's, this is just a general statement.

One of the most important things I've learned in my long life is this:
Don't let a negative experience with one immature individual get under your skin too much.
1. When you are "brought down" and even just distracted by this inadequate person's interaction with you, it has an influence on how you deal with all of the good people you talk to all day. The rest of your customers deserve your best, so don't let that person in any way diminish your interactions with everyone else.
2. From a personal perspective, don't invite this jerk into your thoughts and feelings. You wouldn't dream of having this jerk over for dinner or a visit. Yet when we ponder them and their words in our minds, we invite them into a far more intimate place than our homes: We invite them into our very being.
OK, I know you are a strong woman, and likely have already put this person and experience into proper perspective, but I think its something worth thinking about.
Final thought from "Old Uncle Jim"
I am no fan of Ayn Rand as an author or a human being, but knowing you are a reader, you may have read "The Fountainhead"
In it there is an exchange between the antagonist, Toohey, and the protaganist, Roarke:
Toohey: "Mr. Roark, we're alone here. Why don't you tell me what you think of me? In any words you wish. No one will hear us."
Roark: "But I don't think of you"
Its my favorite "put down", and my favorite way to defeat those who would invade my peace of mind.

Of course I have, it's just been a very long time. I remember I liked it, but not much more than that. Thanks for your kind words, as always
