Life, actually…

A RECORDED PHONE MESSAGE I WILL NEVER

HAVE ENOUGH COURAGE TO LEAVE

 RingRingRingRing…

CLICK

My voice…

Hello.

I may or may not be the person you are attempting to contact. If you do not wish to leave a message you may hang up now.

If you leave a message there’s a good chance I will return your call…provided it is not a sales pitch or a survey or a hustle.

If you do not leave a voice message I will not know that you called, since I live in another century and do not check Caller ID.

When you leave a message it would be helpful to know what you want to communicate to me. If you just leave a name and number and I have never heard of you, you can be assured that I may not return your call.

If your message is polite and mannerly I may wish to talk with you anyhow.

Just sayin’.

You may proceed to leave a message or not leave a message…wait for the beep. Have a good life!

BEEP.

(OK, OK…I admit that I would never be this blatant on the phone…but having a fantasy now and then couldn’t hurt anybody. Could it?)

You may click to something more interesting on the internet now.

I’m done for today
