1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not?
I don’t mind it but I don’t love it either
2. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone?
Jon
3. About how many telephones do you have at home?
3 (not including my cell phone)
4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners? What happened?
My EVIL insurance company. I’ve been disconnected, yelled at, and sworn at.
5. Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter? Why or why not?
It depends on how urgent the matter is. If it isn’t urgent, email or a letter will work. If it’s urgent, I’ll do it by phone.
Phone Manners:
My first full time job, was to replace a guy on a help desk who was swearing at the clients. He was in a union so firing was a total pain, so they moved him to hardware support (setting up PCs) and I got to the job talking to clients via a consulting company. That opened up a whole new world to me, and all because some guy swore on the phone 🙂
