: Life imitates Art

True Life story from a friend of mine: 

I swear this has to be a hidden camera comedy sketch ...

 

I've been working out of town for six weeks and just came into the office today.  We share a floor with another IT consulting company.  On either side of the elevators we each have a reception area ... we have a receptionist.  They now have a 25" computer monitor with a camera on top and a telephone.  On the monitor is an Indian woman with a telephone ... yeah, in India ... with Indian clothes on ...

 

If you walk in she says hello and asks who you want to see, etc.  I understand she has 2-3 monitors on her desk and covers other offices for this company as well.

 

Didn't I see this on a Saturday Night Live sketch a couple months ago?  Doesn't she also answer the phone "Hello Dell support ..."  "Pizza Hut, is this for pickup or delivery ..."  "Psychic friends hotline ..."

 

Unbefreekinlievable!
