FRONT DESK STORIES

ME: Thank you for calling Globe Dwindle, how can I help you?
CALLER: Hi yes can I speak to Random Skater?
ME: O I’m sorry but he is just one of our riders he actually doesn’t have an extension here
CALLER: Ok well I need to get a hold of him cause I talked to my lawyer and everyone says we have a common law marriage and I really need to talk to him cause I need money and I lost my house and my art center and everything cause I don’t have any money and we have been in a common law marriage and like I said my lawyer agrees and I am on the street and thank god for my friend Deb cause she took me in and is letting me stay with her, I mean she is letting me sleep on her couch
ME: mmmm hmmm, ok well…
CALLER: I mean I have talked to a lot of people about this and everyone says that I have a common law marriage with him. God know I didn’t want it to be this way, you know sleeping on my friend Debs couch, don’t get me wrong she is an awesome friend and you know she has always taken care of me and its no trouble for her, she is such a cool girl and really I can stay there as long as I want, she told me so. Anyways this is not how I planned it, you know?
ME: mmm right, ok well…
CALLER: I wanted the white dress with the preacher in stuff but then I come home one day and showed my mom his picture and you know she is from the old times and she was just shocked cause here is the long haired skate and I am 34 (sounds like a 54 year old with emphysema) and you can imagine her shocking, she is older and stuff, so she disowned me (holding back tears)
ME: O so sorry to hear that, well…
CALLER: O it ok, anyways I have no one. It just hard cause I saw Random Skate in February of last year, we met up at Best Buy and it was great to see him and all but now I can’t get a hold of him and like I said I got kicked out of my apartment and I can’t do art any more cause they took my art studio too, but thank god for Deb right? So anyways I’ve talked to my lawyers and they said that I have a case I just have to get Random Skater down to Orange County because he has to be present.
ME: uh hu…
CALLER: I can’t do anything with out him. They said it’s true we have a common law marriage I just need him to come down her and tell them that. So who do I talk to? What should I do? I mean I can’t stay with Deb forever and a lot of people came to my studio because I am a great artist and all. Really people are depending on me you know? hahaha.
ME: ha…ha, um?
CALLER: but my lawyer he was saying that if I called his work and tried to get them to locate him then that might work…because you know all those pro skater they are so irresponsible and so hard to find. That whole skater world is just a lot of traveling and sometimes your cell phone doesn’t work, that’s probably why he hasn’t called, hu? Do you know if he is out of town or something? I think he just gone or something, like on a tour or something…that probably just it…ya I think that’s the problem
ME: Yaaaa…well let me get you name and number and I will get this to his team manager and they can contact him
CALLER: O MY GOSH, o my gosh that would be so great. I just need to see him, just for a few minutes. The OC is so expensive, cause I was at the Main Place Mall the other day and I couldn’t buy anything because you know I got kicked out my apartment and studio cause I can’t make rent but my lawyer said I have a case, I for sure have a case, so if you can just tell that to the team manager and have Random Skate contact me that would so amazing. You’re so nice, what’s your name? Thank you so much, I really appreciate this, you remind me of my friend Deb, where do you live?
ME: ha..ha, ok well let me just get you name and number and I will pass this message along
CALLER: O ok, my name is Kim……and….. (Long pause)
ME: Kim?
CALLER: yes
ME: What’s your last name?
CALLER: O, umm….Wilson…WILSON!
ME: Ok great, what’s your number?
CALLER: 714-123-4567
ME: Awesome, ok Kim, I will let the team manager know, have a nice night!
CALLER: great, thanks again, so yes just let the team manager know that I need Random Skater to come down and let them know that I was for sure in a common law marriage with him. My lawyer says I have a case…
ME: Ok, will do
CALLER: Ok, thanks again, have a happy holiday.
ME: You too, Bye….
