A southern woman calls in, I answer the phone, "BYU Independent Study, how may I help you today?" and she says, "Yes, I go to BYU University". ...And I'm thinking - really? Brigham Young University University. nice.
Or when you end the call by saying "Have a great day" and the 17 year old boy ends the call by saying "Love you too".
Another great thing is speaking with students all around the world with their various accents (and yes, this includes mothers from Georgia).
One thing you should know: students are required to take their tests with a certified PROCTOR (an certified person (usually an educational employee) that watches them while they take their test) - for security reasons. .... Consequently, students will sometimes call in and ask for a PROXY for their test. (nice try!)
Last week, a 17 year old boy called in and said, "Yes, I need a PROCREATOR for my test."
Oh. My. Goodness. I could barely contain my laughter till the end of the call.
I love my job.

*Laughs* That's awesome. Gotta love those kinds of calls. I used to telemarket and I hated it, but there were some funny calls like that now and then that made it worth it. :)
Your writing is so interesting to read!
It takes a lot of self control to stop reading! You are a great writer.
