Sometimes I get all nervous answering the phone. Is that a phobia or my nervous wreck?! It might be my brain, restless; and mind wandering in the forest or hanging on the clouds. Or is that caller's voice too sexy. Now I doubt I can be a good secretary, which I thought I have that potential. Ha ha ha.
There is one time, a VIP [Very important person] called. I don't know if he is, he sounded like one. Boss & his secretary wasn't around, I picked it up. I told the VIP, "Our boss went off for the day." Damn, he was out for lunch. Did I not see that??? Or my memory failing??? GOD.
There is this new chief executive in the company but he is never in. There's no seat for him, I suppose he works from home. His calls always come in here, and I can't seem to find a reason to say. Once I took the call and I told the caller, "He wasn't around." That was right. But he's forever not around!!!! Except for a couple of minutes some days maybe.
TODAY
Ring...ringg... This man called. He was looking for this Big Shot whom sits besides me. I don't think I seen him this morning. I told the man, "He's not around anymore." Fuck, that sounds like he's dead. I felt like laughing at myself. Fortunately, I quickly added "For today, I mean" with a giggle. I could almost hear him giggling over the other end too!!! I was still nervous, then my sentences all came out fast [sticking together], "Would you like to leave a message or your number?? Do you want to call back? Shall I get him to call you back?" I only get a sense of relief when I finally hear the "Thank you" before hanging up.
I've got to overcome my panic attack on this, I wasn't like this, must be my head.
