From the "If I were boss" Files..

May 17, 2007

First order of buisness....

I would dock pay of any employee with an annoying ring tone on their cell phone.

And by annoying...I mean, anything that doesn't sound like a real phone.

From where I sit...there are at least 5-7 cell phones that ring throughout the day. The "songs" they play range from:

The Entertainer (yeah...the Ice Cream Man song)
The Chicken Dance (shoot me in the face)
A choo choo train
"Fergilicious" by Fergie

so forth and so on.

And the problem isn't just that people have these ring tones, but this is a freaking workplace for crying out loud. They'll just up and walk off without their phones and let them annoy everybody around.

I think that if you are in your workplace, you should have a phone ring tone that sounds like a normal desk phone. My ring tone is still loud enough to get my attention, but it sounds like any standard bell-ring desk phone.

It's called "Nostalgia" on my menu.

Better yet...just turn off the ringer and have it on vibrate, if you can't hear your phone rattling across your desk, you should go to Hester's Hearing Aids and get yourself hooked up.

Rant....over.
