Correcting the grammar of a client, is not bright if one wants to keep one’s job.
However, it is a great thing to try if you’re jonesin’ for an unemployment check.
Come one come all! It’s a party, and the booze keeps flowing, the girls never say no, and the men actualy can walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

I don’t think there’s ever a time when correcting someone’s grammar is a good job, unless you’re an editor or English teacher. Like, say, if you make fun of the spelling in a note your girlfriend sends you about how much she loves you…that probably doesn’t work out well.
I mean “it probably wouldn’t work out well.” Because I certainly have never done that.
No… I doubt you have ever been that thick.
So did someone get fired? Do tell…
It would have been more entertaining than the reality, but, sadly, no one got fired. They were merely spoken to severely. (Sometimes it’s fun being a receptionist… people tend to thing that you don’t really exist, and say all sorts of fun and juicy stuff in front of me.) In fact, I don’t think they fire anyone here. Well, there was that one guy that got all smacked up in the bathroom during some Christmas party years before I got here, so I guess it would have to be a bit worse than correcting a Whose/Who’s.
Hey! I worked as a receptionist once and you’re so right – it’s like wearing an invisibility cloak.
I like loudly clearing my throat when they start in of the classified info. First, they give me the deer in headlights look, then they try to glare me down. The fact that more than 70% are blushing by this time kinda mitigates their death rays. Good times.
