ANSWERing Machines

I was sitting in my office looking at the less than high-tech telephone that they have assigned to me... i was like mmmmmmmmmm..... such a big organisation with abt 2400 staff and they don't even have a top notch telecomm system?? Wah Lau!! Sigh... sometime... when the company gets bigger... they stinch on small items like phone system.. and even stationery... i was told that they don't even have highlighters and stick note pads... OMGosh.... i wanna just stab myself a few times, Knock my Head against the wall a few time and ask myself...why i join this company???

Anyway, this is without saying that i should not even expect to own a answering machine for my phone... Now i have to start telling all my clients to call me on the mobile phone... Lucky it's FREE incoming calls... otherwise... i will tell them to drop me an sms or write me an email instead...haaahhhaa..

1. Hello, you've reached Jim and Sonya. We can't pick up the phone right now, because we're doing something we really enjoy. Sonya likes doing it up and down, and I like doing it left to right...real slowly. So leave a message, and when we're done brushing our teeth, we'll call you back.
