work blooper

My boss asked me to follow up on certain malls regarding our proposal to be able to sell the magazine at their place. I started calling their offices Tuesday and never got a hold on any of them. I tried calling Music Museum this afternoon and have I made a major blooper!

Imagine a small room with tables at every corner. At the rightmost corner of the room is where all the printers and telephones are. The table right next to this is my boss', who was at that moment writing emails to practically everyone there is in his address book.

I went to the phone and dialed the number. Somebody answered.

"Hello? Is Ms. Soriano there?"

"Who is this?"

"This is Martha, from BusinessWorld-"

My boss stared at me.
