Etiquette
I was angry, entering into rhino mode. If you look up the definition of pissed, I'm sure they have a picture of me there. I'm Stephanie Plum blah blah blah, I've got things to do and you already know the story.
I used the stairs and burst into the fifth floor of Rangeman and the loudly ordered, "Meeting in conference room one, every Rangeman has to attend. Five minutes and call in some contract workers for the monitors." I then stomped off to conference room one.
I saw the men file in one by one, including Tank and Ranger. Three minutes later, the room was full.
I started the meeting "I believe that every Rangeman has a lack of etiquette when it comes to phone manners. Today we are going to learn phone manners. Lester, would you please show us how to answer a call." Lester stood up and pretended to answer a fake call
"how ya doin' hot stuff?" he waggled his eyebrows. I sighed, typical Lester.
"No." I ground out
"Everyone repeat after me, hello, how may I help you? Or whatever goes with the situation or the person. You then speak more than one word as your answer to whatever the person is saying and babe is not an acceptable response." I looked pointedly at Ranger, who just grinned. I managed not to roll my eyes.
"At the end of a conversation, it is mandatory to end the call with a goodbye or see you later" I glared around the room. The men had the grace to look down.
"The next person to not use proper phone etiquette will be punished accordingly." The guys were actually looking frightened. I've been known to have a mean streak.
"Dismissed." The men shuffled out of the room. Ranger and Tank and I were the last people. Tank just shook his head at me and left.
"Babe" I glared
I hope you like this one-shot. It's been stuck in my head for a while. Please review, good or bad.
