This afternoon, my secretary said, "Quick, pick up my line!" and I said, "Just transfer it to my number", but she repeated her phrase, more loudly. A canned announcement from the tax authorities in Albany was prattling about our company's allegedly not having remitted withheld taxes for some week in August. Strange use of technology. The recording had already started to play, to my secretary, before I cut in. And if we were a larger company with a switchboard, the message would have been played to an audience that could not, and maybe should not, be hearing it. Who thought this one up?
