Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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."
Nobody ever calls me.
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.
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.
Which sounds more right?
"This conference call line has less than three people on it."
"This conference call line has fewer than three people on it."
Fewer. Less than refers to degrees, fewer refers to number.
