How not to run your company

While I was in Belfast, somebody from Lisbon tried to phone me. I didn't have my cell phone with me at the time, but I kept the number.

Back in Portugal, I used some little magic to find out where the number was from... it's from a company I sent my CV to. Let's call it the X company. Here's the conversation:

Me - Hello?

Lady - Hello.

Me - Good afternoon. I have a record here that somebody tried to call me from that number...

Lady - Well, probably somebody from X tried to call you.

Me - So this number belongs to the company X, right?

Lady - Yes.

Me - Well, OK, thank you...

The problem was... I didn't actually finished my last sentence!! After the "Yes", the lady on the other side simply disconnected my call!!

I wonder... what are they trying to achieve here? :-|
