yeah I know what you meant Tim
but it made me chuckle some.
When I answer the phone at
work I usually just say my name
but if I'm at another phone I answer
with the name of the group I work in
ie. "Hello Weed Science"
It is just amazing how many people hear
that, snigger and say
"weird science??"
so I guess I'm fully qualified to answer weird enquiries
the switchboard operators also feel this is true
as I tend to get a lot of weird enquiries from them also.
Cheers, Rod
