Let's talk about business telephone etiquette too -- it makes me nuts when I call someonewithin my company and I hear "He/She isn't here" (long pause) I count to 10, at which point the person says "Hello, Hello?" - and then I ask if they have a pencil to write down my message. What happened to "May I take a message?" OR -- the other famous line--
"He/She isn't here, can you call back?" DEFINITELY NOT.
