Message-ID: <1885@floyd.UUCP> Date: Mon, 8-Aug-83 13:17:07 EDT Article-I.D.: floyd.1885 Posted: Mon Aug 8 13:17:07 1983 Date-Received: Tue, 9-Aug-83 01:15:13 EDT Organization: Bell Labs, Whippany, NJ Lines: 10 Do you ever call someone at work and someone answers her phone and asks what the call is in reference to? This often happens to me, and I don't really care to explain it to the phone answerer. I feel like saying "If I wanted to explain it to you, I would have asked for you." I just figured out what to do in this situation. Say "I'm returning her call." I hope that this might help someone through a sticky moment. Andy Tannenbaum Bell Labs Whippany, NJ (201) 386-6491
