Telephone Toughie

Another classic "Lynn moment"...

(Phone rings incessantly. Lynn rushes to her table to pick it up.)

Lynn: "HELLO! SINO 'TO?!!"

(A few seconds of silence.)

Lynn: "Hi Sir..."



Lessons:

- When inside the office, never EVER think, even for a second, that you will not get a call from your boss.

- You only need to remember two voices in the office: 1) your boss' and 2) that of others. You could forget the latter, but the former you must be able to distinguish down to the most minute tone and timbre, in all conditions (imagine choppy cellphone signal and barely audible murmur) and at all times (short of becoming a pre-cog like Vlad who could predict Papa Bear's calls with 99% accuracy).

And so ends the story of Telephone Toughie Lynn. ^ ^
