    I worked as one of my first jobs for my country’s telecoms former monopoly

    We had to use the same phrase and say it with a smile when answering the phone: “welcome to Telstra, Psud speaking”

    I now hate it when I slip into the vocal register I used there, but at least when I do, I’m usually using it ironically
