AGM- thank you for calling the... *pause* where am I again... oh yeah (us) how can I help you.

Smiley, I know the feeling.

In the last two years, I have had 5 different work numbers and companies.

It takes me a few seconds to try to remember what my call-back number is today.

I need to keep a sticky on the monitor with <Company Name> and <Company Number> on the keyboard.

Cell and home numbers are even worse.

One day at work, I just went stupid when it came to answering the phone. Everytime that day, I would screw it up somehow. My boss could not get enough of that.

One of my collegues did a similar thing the other day.

Part of our internal sales teams job is to call purchase orders over the PA to the warehouse staff. On a very busy day recently, the phones had been ringing off the hook. This particular staff member had just finished printing out a customer order and was heading to the microphone to call it in. As she reached the mic, the manager in the background called out for all available staff to answer phones, so instead of asking warehouse for a pick up, she says "Welcome to *compnay name* *collegues name* speaking. How may I help you?

The boys in the warehouse had a good laugh over that one
