What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You could, or assuming that most people are trying to call you
Most people are recruiters.
I cover myself by answering any and all phones, including my own personal cell and my mother's phone, "[Agency], this is Aimee."
And then people laugh at me.
Oh yeah. I worked at Michigan Book and Supply for a few months after grad school, and when I went back home for Christmas, I was this close to answering our home phone, "Michigan Book and Supply, this is Sunil."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Poor Gud. I say "This is Dana," unless the caller ID tells me it's my husband, in which case I say "Yeah?"
Tried to go to training. Trainer lost the files. Oops.

If I weren't the main number for students to register for our classes, I would just use F Name L Name. I don't actually have a phone- There is just the department phone. The weird thing is, most of the time I don't get that many calls, so it isn't really like I am the receptionist, but just the main phone answerer.

omg, a co-worker is getting really snappy at her boss in my cube farm (we have no privacy/personal space) and it is making me uncomfortable!

Poor Gud.
A work phone that never rings is made of awesome. Or defective, but why mess with a good thing if it is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When I'm jobless I answer my cellphone with my full name too. Otherwise it's just hello. Pfft.
Okay, training class people. Stop doing the exercises by hand. Cheat like me.
