Introduction - Alex

AlexD — Wed, 06 Aug 2014 16:24:46 GMT

Good Evening Everyone!
Following from both Matt and Dan's introductions, I thought I would pop on and introduce myself as well.
My name is Alex and I've been at Plusnet for just under 2 years! I have been part of the Complaints team for several months now and I'm a bit of a Provisioning and Customer Service expert.
I'm very much looking forward to getting to know you all and helping everyone to the best of my ability.
Have a lovely evening and you should see me around the forums tomorrow.
Bye!

Welcome Alex,
That's 3 new guys this week. I'm wondering if you've been rushed in due to the extream CRT staff shortage this week? It's tough out here, but it can be fun.

Just to clear up any confusion, Alex is female

Luke,
Thanks, it had crossed my mind... Though "guys" seems to have lost its gender association these days. Every waiter seems to refer to all customers as "guys" which when I was in the trade I had to constantly berate staff from doing!

Thanks for the info Luke

Dan,
Your reply rather suggests that as a team, you don't know each other nor work in the same location...

I think Dan's reply was tongue-in-cheek as he sits facing Alex!

Welcome Alex.
If you'd like, here are some questions to answer so we get to know you a bit:
1. What, if anything, do you geek out about?
2. What, if any, are your sports teams affiliations?
3. What sort of music are you into? Do you play an instrument? Gone to any gigs recently?
4. Where in the country/world, if anywhere, do you feel affinities to, and why?
5. Computer OS preference?
6. Into playing any games (board, sports, computer)?
7. What is your natural alignment? (Lawful v Chaotic, Good v Evil, Neutral with respect to either)
8. Cake or death?
9. Favourite film/book and why?
10.Are you a cricket bat-wielder, a schemer, a diplomat, a peace-keeper? At home, and at Plusnet towers.

Hi Kevin,
I think I need to work on my forum banter....
We are all in the same office and know each other well.

Hi Dan,
Equally may be we regulars need to chill a little - anything at the moment which makes this new team not look like a team is somewhat disconcerting. This has been a tough week. Minimal CRT cover on Monday and a stream of new faces this week... there's a lot of getting to "know you" to be done such that good banter can be seen as the intended light heartedness!
Cheers,
Kevin

Morning All.
Thank you all for welcoming me to the community.
@Luke - Thanks for that clarification, much appreciated
@Townman - Dan has the pleasure of sitting across from me every day. If he didn't know I was a girl my now, I'd be slightly worried. Please try not to worry too much about the changes with the team. I know there are a lot of changes happening at the moment but I'm confident all will be well.
Now Snozbot, I hope you find my answers to your satisfaction, sorry some of them are short (I could talk about books/movies/cake all day):
1. I geek out about anything Marvel, DC or Harry Potter.
2. I follow Italian Football (Inter Milan specifically)
3. I love Music and my 'Band of the moment' would be The Overtones. I can't get enough of them! (Or anything Christmas related!)
4. Anywhere by the sea. I love the seaside and Germany, specifically at Christmas, it's beautiful.
5. Windows 8
6. I love playing Peggle and Mario Karts
7. Lawful v Chaotic
8. Cake - Any day of the week!
9. Favourite Film: I'm torn between Avengers Assemble - It's an amazing film and Twister - I love tornadoes and extreme weather. Books: Too hard to answer I'm afraid, I'm a book worm.
10. I'd certainly say Peace Keeper.
Thanks again everyone. I'm sure I'll see you around in due course.

At the risk this has been said before... Devine by name and divine by nature?
Is it great to see senses of humour coming through, as at times it's needed by the bucket full around here!
