It has become apparent that the only thing that people in publicity are supposed to do is talk and then write a list of who they talked to and whether or not those people want to use their publications to talk about what the publicist called to talk about.
This statute has carried over onto office chatter. Person A asks Person B a question. Person B mistakenly registers the question as a request for information and proceeds to form an answer. Two words into the answer, person A has put on their telephone headset and is leaving a message on a new person's voicemail, Person C.
Person C will mostly likely only call person A back if it seems that THEY will be the one to dominate the conversation.
This is a going to be a hard job for me, a hardened anti-socialite of 23 years.
