92: Phone Calls

Today I called a person at 7 that I have put something on her desk and asked her whether I need to discuss with her face-to-face. She said she was very busy this afternoon. I offered to meet her tomorrow morning and talk to her directly and she said ok. Then I left immediately after the call. But when I was waiting for bus on the street, she called my mobile and ask this ask that, and I just answer this answer that with much noise background. Yes, I have expected, but not so soon, haha … …

A few days ago an important person called me at 530. She asked her secretary to call me but it was already the off-time of the secretary, so the secretary msn me and was very nervous. She said she would like to talk to me and asked me to call her now. I of course don’t want to call her because I am already very busy, so I told the secretary in msn that I am talking with client on another line and I would call her back. The secretary was still very nervous (since she cannot leave) and I teach her to tell the important person that I am on another line and will call back her. About 15 minutes later, I sent an email to the important person and asked her whether I could call her now, and she replied very quickly: ‘Thanks for your quick response. I have already called another person to follow up the things for me. You may call that person to give a big hand to her.’ So happy that I no need to talk to her, and no need to follow up the things, but of course I also called the other gal and she told me about what she said to her.

Last month I received another call from a once-important person. When I saw the name on caller display, I naturally not answer and not call back. I don’t know why. Maybe I don’t know what to talk, don’t know how to react, simply too odd. In fact I should just treat it as natural and call back, but I really can’t do it. Forgive me please.
