Announcement: Newsflash!!! Voice mail is there for a reason!

[Dan Wambaugh]

Folks,

I've received SEVENTEEN calls since Saturday from THIRTEEN different people. How many voice mails were left in that time? ONE! And that was from a fabric supplier. After a personal issue I'm just now in the office and available for phone calls.

IF YOU DO NOT LEAVE A MESSAGE I CANNOT CALL YOU BACK!!! If I do not answer the phone there is likely a good reason. This does NOT mean call me back immediately. LEAVE A MESSAGE WITH YOUR PHONE NUMBER!

I could understand if my voice mail was not working, but obviously it is since one person left me a message. Contrary to popular belief I DO return phone calls, generally within twenty four hours. I've never had a problem like this before but the last few day's shenanigans are ridiculous to the point of being hilarious!

My heart goes out to you, Dan. I was fired by a client once who called me four times in one hour (I was out of the office) and never left a message.

What did he tell the lawyer he ultimately hired?

"I called him four times and he never called me back."

Bob,

Yeah, it was frustrating to say the least. My wife forgot her glasses today, so I had to run them up to her work, about a half hour away. We decided to have lunch and then I came back. In the hour and a half that I was gone the phone rang FIVE TIMES. Then it rang TWICE MORE when I got home but wasn't able to get to the phone. Just the one message left. I've received two calls since. That makes ten calls today, two received, one message left. A 30% is a failing grade in anyone's book! ;-)

3 of those calls throughout the day were me (but not within an hour and a half). Sorry about that. I started to leave a message but I was at the OBGYN, then the pediatrition's office, then the hospital for bloodwork. You are requested to have your phone turned off in each of those so calling me back was not an option. Hope I didn't disturb you too much.

Luke,

Well sheesh, if you're going to go ahead and ruin my rant with good reasons...well then I just don't know what to do with myself. ;-) Hope all is well with you and yours!

hahaha my bad lol! Yeah everything is good. Just a lot of check ups, vaccinations, and prenatal blood tests! Not fun times but at least it was a day off work and spending time with the family. Looking forward to the frock!

If it's any help with the rant....during my college years I did an internship at a lawyers office and they spent half a day teaching folks how to leave voicemails and the importance of them. I...of all people...should have known better LOL.

If it was someone calling around midnight with heavy breathing that would be me....
