Woot! I've got a sweet voice wor!

You all probably know that I have to answer phone calls in this job as well, as part of the 'ad-hoc' duties.

I seldom get to answer the calls, partly because there isnt many calls in the first place (please note that I am NOT saying that my company's business is bad, *sneaky eyes*) and also because I'll never win any games if there's a faster fingers first.

But I answered a call today, and as per my ex ex job's (the banking one) training, I acknowledge calls by "Good morning, XXX (my coy's name)."

This is actually a subtle version already, because I used to go "Good morning, XXX (bank's name). This is kanigi, how can I assist you?"

But I guess not many people answer calls these way, because my colleagues usually go "HAR-LOH!"

So this morning when I answer a call with "Good morning, XXX", the person on the other end was silent.

Kanigi : "Hi, good morning! This is XXX, you are?"

Guy : Who are you!!

Kanigi : I'm kanigi, you are...?

Guy : I thought who leh! No one ever answer the call with such a gentle voice in this company!

Kanigi : Haahaa.

Turns out he is a colleague lah, that explains why he was very shocked when I answered the call. He probably thought the cheapskate company hired a receptionist.

When he returned to the company just now, he complimented on my voice again, saying I sound very sweet.

Hahaha, havent been receviving compliments about my voice in ages! I'm happy! =)
