I=policy service for Agency of Awesome in a big honkin' insurance company.
Backstory: The Agency of Awesome is muy shortstaffed this week. New business is training one new girl and looking to fill another position, and our company is having its annual "Our Agents Are Teh R0xx0rs!" shindig in Boca. Since this is, in fact, the Agency of Awesome, our big guns are all teh r0xx0rs. (You can tell; they get nifty nicknames like The Goddamn Batman.) Basically, you have two people holding down the fort: me, your inexperienced policy service elf, and ", who usually runs life proposals and has a whole six months more experience here than I do.
Dear callers, please don't snap at me when I explain to you that 'most everyone's out of town. This goes double for you if you happen to be an agent or a broker with our company. I can't explain products to you, since I don't know anything about them, and I sure as fuck don't know anything about discontinued products, and " finally got to go to lunch at 1:20.
Also: yes, I've heard the Sunnybrook Farm reference before, *rolleyes*. It's not novel (okay, maybe it's novel) and it's not unique, and you're not funny.
