Too funny! Usually—because I’m incapable of lying (believably) outright, even on the phone—I just tell callers I don’t see my boss right now. Works great when you swivel your chair or turn your head, and technically, I’m not lying! LOL
Gardengirl, Sometimes when I get a call at home here that I know is from someone either selling something or wanting to get a survey...when they say “Is Mrs.______there”, I reply “No, she is not here, could I take a message?” And they just say they will call later. I do not feel bad doing that. This is my phone and I didn’t ask them to call me. LOL~~
