Miss Information is annoyed by a walkie talkie conversation

The library has gotten walkie talkies so library staff can communicate with each other. It has several floors, so the radios help find staff members who are away from their work areas. Of course Miss Information finds some of the conversations she is required to hear annoying. Like today. Staff in the business department had to call for someone to unlock a study room. Staff 1: Backup? Can you please unlock room 6(muffled) Backup: Sorry was that 6B, 6C or 6D? Staff 1: 6(muffled)! Backup: What room? Staff 1: (Sigh) 6(muffled)! There the transmissions stopped. Miss Information assumed that Backup had gone to the desk to speak with their colleague, look at the booking list or possibly just unlocked all the doors. Miss Information would like to remind people of the helpful Nato Phonetic Alphabet. Miss Information likes to make up her own codes based on animals: Anteater, Bison, Chipmunk, etc. The point is this could have been far less annoying if they had used one of these tools!
