Lately I have been noticing that I say things at work that would sound completely stupid in the real world but its okay to say around the office. Just a few examples below:
1. "Please let me know if you need anything further."
2. "I have spoken with the underwriter and..."
3. "Excuse me for a moment."
4. "I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused"
5. "She stepped away from her desk"
6. "Good morning, the ____ ____ ____, how may I direct your call?"
Now, I will translate these disgustingly polite phrases into real world language:
1. "Call me if you need something"
2. "I talked to ___ and he said..."
3. "one sec"
4. "sorry, dude."
5. "she had to pee."
6. "I am fake smiling, haven't had my coffee yet and don't want to talk to you, so call back in 1 hour."
And thats what I think about that.
