Who likes their work mobile?? It’s one thing when it rings while you’re at work and when it does so when you’re off work … the latter scenario is more dramatic …
A couple of days I get an outside call but didn’t hear it because I was heading back from a meeting and rushing with the heat, as I wasn’t expecting any external calls and I was so damn busy to call back, I said if it is important they’ll call back and if it is business related, they’ll call the office, my email, my department, anything
See when it comes to unknown numbers, if it’s through my personal number, I have the choice to pick up or not and it won’t make a difference but if it is on the other line, work, even if a Martian is calling, I would pick up, “this is ….. from earth speaking”
That’s exactly what I did today and it turns out to be a lonely guy who won’t answer back but msging me … WTF … and as a professional I txt this is an official working mobile number and that doesn’t stop the creep! This isn’t the first time, I just ignore for a couple of days and eventually they’ll give up. Now everytime my mobile rings the message tone, most probably it that annoying person
My mistake when I got this number, I didn’t check if it was used before and as it turns out it was, so old acquaintances start calling and txt messaging and sometimes I feel sorry for them so I txt back that this isn’t the person they are looking for, so they would lookup that person and that person isn’t ignoring them
I like my work mobile to never ring or move, just lay there if I want to make a business call through it, but we can’t have all our wishes can we ???

yeah it drove me crazy through the election months calls & msgs … they just don’t get it, everytime that damn thing moves, it means trouble!
