weird work conversations

[gsh]

I'm at my desk, trying to finish a technical memo. *phone ring*

M: Hello, Greg H here
Person on other end: You sent me an email message?
M: Who are you?
P: Nameity Name
M: I don't recall sending you an email message, certainly not recently. Who are you?

Edit: Apparently that person had sent me email months ago with one of those "message confirmation" flags set, and when I was trying to find an old email I visited her old email to me, which then fired up
a message confirmation. Joy of technology.

Sounds like a phone conversation I had this morning. Some woman left a message on my home voice mail Thursday to call her back promptly, but didn't say what she wanted. Unfortunately, I didn't hear the message until late last night. I phoned her this morning to find out what was going on and she assured me that it wasn't her who had called because she didn't know who I was.

Whatever. At least it wasn't the father of the woman who used to have our phone number cussing me out because I wouldn't let him speak to his daughter.

Hu-lo! When I'm at work and I call someone else, I try to at least identify my first name before I accuse the other person of acting with me as the object of that action. (Yes, we have internal caller ID, but that doesn't mean the other person bothered to read it.)
