Leaving a Phone Messagge
Thursday, November 18, 2004
I have come to the conclusion that when people leave phone messages they usually make two gross errors.
Error 1: They say they will be home in 45 minutes, or something like call me in 30 minutes ...but they don't mention what the current time is.
Error two: When it comes time to let you know what their phone number is, their speech all of a sudden quickens with particular "non-emphasis" on the last 4 nunbers. which usually sounds something like 521-blazablahsssiidhak...bye
So quick tip for leaving phone message: mention what time you are calling at and anounce your call back number slowly, clearly and emphasize the last 4 numbers.

i've gotten used to not saying the time of call because bell has pampered me in the past letting me know what time the call was received at...
BUT, at work at on our travel cell.... no go - how dumb...
Dilbert wrote about the numbers things... I always say the number like 3 times...
