The moment when you realise you’ve got access to Important People’s private info is weird.
I mean, I knew but it sort of fades into the background until I’m reminded?
Just remember that what you look up is probably logged. That's standard practice everywhere.
If you look someone up, and they cross reference that to a call you took, then that's fine. But if not, you might get a 'Please explain'.
I didn’t do anything. I was very professional, did exactly what I needed to do to complete the task and nothing more.
I just recognised the name and went “huh”
Yep, it's a trip when that happens. I had a few famous callers in my day, also. I even had a home visit to a couple.
