So I couldn't decide if I should name this entry what I did name it or I AM AN IDIOT! Check out what happened to me today...
So I'm at work and I hear my assistant take a call for me. Usual procedure is to take the call, ask who it is, ask the caller to hold, call me and ask if I would like to take the call. I figured my assistant would use this procedure, so when I picked the phone up - I assumed it was my assistant, didn't look at the number and yell into the phone "Who the hell is it now? I don't want to talk to anyone!" Totally joking around of course with who I thought was my assistant... YAH... my assistant was NOT on the other line. She just put the call through and I said those very bad words above to an alum!!!!! Thankfully it was a younger alum and not some doctor who writes letters to my boss on phone ettiquete. UGH! So anywho - lessons learned... Assistants - don't EVER just put a call through and professionals, check the caller ID before yelling into the phone or just don't joke around. :)
