Flattery will get you everywhere

Weird message on our voice mail today. Not for me, for Nathaniel, but clearly about me (well, in part, there was an actual message for Nathaniel after the bit about me). The woman who harvests and plates kerotinocytes for the skin group said, "First of all, I would like the name of the woman who changed your message. I would like her to go around, and I'll bring her a box of candy if she does, and change the messages on all of the machines in Endocrine. *laugh* It's so refreshing to hear just her voice." I'm not entirely sure what that means. Is it, that she likes my voice, and wishes everyone's voice mail had my voice on it? Or is it that she's confused, because there were two messages on our phone from her (she calls a lot, to the point where I can recognize her voice and remember her name), one for Yuko and one for Nathaniel, saying basically the exact same thing. I assume she called my extension (on my desk) for Nathaniel, and the other extension (across the room) for Yuko, but only the phone on my desk has voice mail, so after however many rings, the call transfers to the phone on my desk, and then goes to voice mail. So maybe she thinks that I've done the messages for both of those phones, and she wishes that I'd do the messages for all the others too. But then, the message for Nathaniel was time stamped two minutes before the message for Yuko, which means she said that before she left the other message. I have no idea what's going on. Maybe I just have a hot voice. Although I do have people who say otherwise. ;) (*coughs*Yizashi*coughs*) Maybe she just likes that I don't have an accent, and speak clearly. Crazy. I'm almost hoping she'll call tomorrow or something, recognzie my voice when I answer the phone and explain just what the hell it was she meant.

Soo... Yizashi thinks your voice sounds like the horrid screeching only audible in those movies with killer gargoyles/bats/other-evil-flying-things-out-to-claw/eat-you-in-the-night that wakes you in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, haunting your nightmares for years to come?

Cuz you know, guild teamspeak. Gimme a little warning.

No, he he thinks it's pleasant enough, just a little too nasal at times to be considered sexy. There's a certain throatiness that is required for a sexy voice, and admittedly, I just don't have that. Maybe this woman is deceived by the fact that I purposefully use the lower registers of my voice on answering machines, because I know I have a natural tendency go upwards in pitch when I'm enthusiastic about what I'm talking about, and that it can be a little jarring. I don't get "screechy" persay, but yanno, it's not hawt.

Besides, when am I ever going to be in a teamspeak situation with you? My level 10 Shaman ain't going anywhere. Also, I hear you don't have a mic at all, or so said the guild message last night, so you don't get to say anything. Literally.

Dude. TeamSpeak's just fun. In terms of practicality, it's only useful for n00bs who can't type as fast as I can or are too lazy to. Personally, I'm often typing out complete sentences as I mash on The Beast or whatnot. But being able to speak with the people you're playing with is fun, like Astaria squared.
