phone lingo

How do you answer the phone?

I tend to say hello and occasionally say this is Danny.

It seems that most Hispanics say bueno which means good which I don't get.

What do you say when answering the phone?
I have piped unto you, and ye have not danced!

I usually say "Hello, this is Gary."

On the church office phone: "Windward Worship Center..."
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

Wow, we are really having to dig to get something to talk about these days.

What with the IA coming up and no controversial issues to discuss.....gee here we are days away and we are asking " how do you answer the phone"?

Man, I hope the sight seeing doesn't keep too many people out of the Somet.

Kidding.......I know it will be awe-inspiring!

Me too! I love to talk but not on the phone. If I get going I will talk though. But 9 times out of 10 I'll let voicemail get it. If it's important, they'll leave a message.

Oh, please say it ain't so! I often call people needing them, or needing info from them right that minute... during a meeting, a conference call, or with someone sitting at my desk, only to get voice mail. Sometimes I leave a VM and -- before I complete the message -- that person beeps through saying "Hey, you called?" (Meaning they were sitting there by the phone when it rang, didn't pick it up, and waited to see who it was. VERY rude and annoying.

I have caller ID, and still let the voice mail get it for some people :P

It's not if you have a Mental Health Professional and a Physicians Assistant living under your roof whose patients somehow get your home phone number. Unfortunately, we've had to use the answering machine this way...but we tell all our friends and family to ask "are you there" and we pick up immediately (except for an occassional long winded cousin who I hate to talk to :lol: ). My hubby and daughter both have business cell phones and there patients should never be calling my home!
