Me: Good afternoon, may I speak with Hazel Karkada please?
Receptionist: Hazel?
Me: She's with Conferences and Incentives
Receptionist: Could you spell out the last name, please?
Me: Sure. That's K for... (suddenly at a loss for words, I took a deep breath and said) Kangaroo... God!!! Why does my limited vocabulary always fail me???
Through the years, I've come up with my own set of variable phonetic alphabet that does not seem to have a logical category. Ask me to spell my name and I go: G-goat, A-alpha, O-oman, T-Thailand (my personal favorite!), A-apple, M-mama, I-india. And the description changes everytime. I really need to learn my NATO phonetic alphabet!!! I'm printing out a cheat sheet. Now na. |
