murakoziThe setting: Sitting at my desk, trying to make some sort of sense out of a gov't MRR, while the programmer is using the 2nd workstation in my office to test some stuff.
*phone rings*
Me: Good morning, this is Peter
Voice: hellorosa?
Me: Um. Hello?
Voice: Rosa?
Me: I'm afraid you have the wrong number.
Voice: Oh. Well, would you be interested in a Super Ultimate Platinum Hoopy Doo Mastercard from...
Me: Um. No, and please put this number on your do-not-ca...
Voice: *click!*
So hey, a fun telemarketer call to a business number and they hung up on me. That got a little chuckle and I go back to reading the document when a thought hits me:
Me (to coworker): Um, do I sound like a rosa?
Fortunately, he answered 'no.' Now the pitch of my voice does vary, depending on mood and context, but in this case, I'd was pretty relaxed (read 'bored') and it was at the deeper end of the spectrum. You'd think that the telemarketer would at least have been clever enough to chose a MALE name upon hearing my voice.
