My first job after school with Post Office Engineering Services, boring.

Once heard of a help desk having a recording of someone rubbing their thumb across an inflated balloon, was supposed to be very effective at reducing support calls and probably customers but it could be kept for salesmen.  I also liked the way that Tom Mabe dealt with the telemarketer.
