Well that�s just because I�ve realised that the sound of a ringing phone really pisses me off.

Maybe it�s just that it�s because it�s always interrupting me from something � be that ordering a courier, doing the mail, serving a customer or trying to beat my last score in Solitaire � it�s bloody annoying. And then you�ve got the people that seem to have no idea why they are calling.

�Er, um, hi [oh geez, someone answered what do I do? *panic*panic*] could I speak to...um ah yeah. Rob, yeah Rob, that�s it� pause while I sift through the 6,000 Rob�s on the system �ah, no actually just put me through to Charlie�

Grrr.

I�m beginning to believe that it is the receptionist�s job to know anything, everything and then some. I especially think it�s hilarious when they ask �Is John in?� because they secretly know that I have closed circuit cameras trained on all 150 desks in the office and a light flashes to let me know whenever someone gets up from said desk to either a) take a leak, b) talk to a colleague or c) scratch their arse.

It�s amazing that the phone has only rung twice while I was typing this entry.

Tomorrow I�m going to cou-damnit! Stupid phone. So that would be three times. Tomorrow I�m going to count.
