I get angry in the moment. But once I'm off the call, I want to laugh. Someone told me earlier to make a coworker call him back. Luckily, I have the kind of relationship with the caller so that I could laugh and explain that coworker is grown, and I am not his boss. I cannot make him do jack shit.
oh, my favorite is when people don't return calls, and say that they didn't get the message. So, the next time you say "bob isn't here can I take a message", the person gets all shirty and says "can you make SURE that he gets it."

These people deserve to have their cell phone numbers given out.
At least in my company, I could poke my head in the CEO's door and say Hi, and he's probably know my name. We're not that big a company, and apparently I get mentioned occassionally--positively, praise be. Still, it's damned disconcerting, when executives say "Hi, Connie," and I've only ever seen them in corporate meetings and I can't think of their name.
my mother's got to have follow up with her oncologist today, and though we're not really worried, some vibes wouldn't hurt.
~ma for your moms, erika.
My mom just had her follow-up with her oncologist about a month ago, and did awesomely, so I send her high quality-ma to your mom.

happy birthday to beth and Beej.
And, in regard to fun phone calls, I love it when someone demands to speak to a man. No, really - I've had people call and insist that they speak to Mr. (my last name) or just any male person on staff. Dude, we've only got one ... and he's the president. Again, not available to random people off the street.
The oncologist likes talking to her, actually.
He doesn't get to give out very much good news.
