Sir

In my post yesterday, I forgot to mention that for the first time in my life I was called "Sir" when I answered the phone (this was at work). Now, I may not sound like a woman on the phone, but I've never been mistaken for a man. I definitely have a feminine-sounding voice. On the phone (and on air), I sound more like a 12-year-old girl. I'm much more likely to get "Can I speak to your mom or dad?" than "Hello, sir..."

Granted, the person on the other end was some sort of telemarketer probably located in India, but still...
