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.

Fewer. Less than refers to degrees, fewer refers to number.
