--;;; Three phone calls in

--;;; Three phone calls in a minute. New record. And all three went more or less like this:

(Sergio and Patrizio are the two guys I'm working with.)

Me: "Hello?"
Person on the other end: "Uh, hello.. who am I speaking with?"
Me: "..." --;; "[name of the magazine I'm having a work experience in]"
Person: "Ah. (pause) Is Sergio there?"
Me: "No, he went out for five mins or so."
Person: "Ah. (pause) Is Patrizio there?"
Me: "No, he isn't coming at work today."
Person: "Ah. (pause) Say, who the hell are you?"
Me: --;; (thinking: thought so) "I'm having a work experience in here."
Person: "Ah. (pause) I'll call later then. Thank you." *hangs up*

The best have to be the people who call, and when I say "hello" assume they must've dialed the wrong number because usually there aren't any females in the office here:
Me: "Hello?"
Person:"Uh... I think I got the wrong number. Sorry."

(two minutes later, phone rings again)
Me: "Hello?"
Same person as before: "Uh... I think I got the wrong number."

(two minutes later...)
Me: --;; "[name of magazine], hello."
Same person as before: "Uh... say, who are you?"
