flea, that's cool! And I like that outfit. I'd be scared to see what I really look like every day.
Does the 30 second you can spend without holding the phone really matter?
Dude, it matters so much! OK, not really. But I agree with bon that it makes the whole thing more one-handed. Or something.
But I was so burned by the Aerosoles when I tried to order boots a few weeks ago. They claimed to be available on their website but they really weren't. So they ended up canceling both orders.
Now I'm scared.
She answers the telephone (the business line) with "Hello".
So annoying! I just called a guy who answered with only his first name, which, I was like, WTF, but then he said he was in a meeting, so I'm going to assume he assumed I was related to the meeting.
Shrift should wear what she would have worn to Club Vivid for the wedding.
I don't think my family needs to see that much of my cleavage.
shrift, if you *don't* end up being a bridesmaid, let me know if you want me to do long-distance wardrobe consultation for you.
Awesome!
Holy cow, Jilli! That's crazy!
Crazier is how little I've completed of the next book. And how bad it is. Gotta get through the rust. Maybe send for beta, sometimes it helps me figure out where I'm stuck.
I usually answer my phone with "This is Suzi" because if you have my direct phone line, you were looking for me or you were transferred to me by the receptionist. Were I answering a more general number, I'd add the company name.
Occasionally I accidentally answer my cell this way which confuses my children.

I'm afraid that's how I answer the phone (or more specifically, I say "This is Frank"), but I don't answer the phone as part of my job, so it's either a friend, someone calling me about something specific, or a wrong number, so I don't really feel the need to say anything else.
Our home phone is both home & business phone, so I tend to answer based on the hour of day and whether or not I recognize the caller id. But every once in a while the SO's mobile shows up as "no data" so he gets briskly greeted, "Hope in Transit, this is L."
Video: Dancing 747s. Slightly unnerving - 747s shouldn't do that!
I am Frank on this, if it is an outside call. Our phone system shows us the name of the person calling if they are in the office, so then I say "Hi X".
I answer my work phone with "This is Jillian", because people at my company have a very bad habit of mis-dialing people's extensions.
