Friday Five 2003 03 14

Today's Friday Five:

1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not? - Not really. I'd rather talk to people in person.

2. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone? - A wrong number. Dagnabbit!

3. About how many telephones do you have at home? - Three. One in the diningroom, one in the master bedroom, and the cellphone.

4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners? What happened? - Most people who call technical support lines. 1) state your problem. Carefully and clearly. 2) listen when the technician speaks. 3) if you did something stupid, admit it. Everyone does, even experts (except me, of course. I've never toasted important files. Nope. Never. Not once. No no no. psst - wanna buy a bridge?)

5. Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter? Why or why not? - depends on who, and why I'm contacting them. Usually, e-mail is better, because I can put down exactly what I want to say, and take time to make my meaning clear.
