reallly realllllllly reallllllllllllly long voicemail messages.

wtf? this guy left 4 consecutive voicemails in a row. all being cut off and leading to the other, each 4.25 minutes long. in each one, he didn't bother to just GIVE HIS # so i could just call him. instead he just rambled incoherently. the only thing that could make it worse is if i were forced to listen to his 4 long messages through a speakerphone a few desks away. at high volume.

People like that tend to be fond of one sided conversations, thinking of what they'll say next before you get two words out of your mouth.

 

[minxnim]

i just kept wanting to slam my head into my desk.

call Greg and listen to his voicemail message- 617-747-2290

 

[minxnim]

i'm gonna hold off on that because if it's long i may give myself a concussion.

my favorite thing about greg's message:

"[15 minute message]... and if you need immediate assistance, please press 0#."

my work voicemail has this 'if this is an emergency...' part and i always want to say 'go fuck off somewhere' but i never do. :/

 

[xfer]

wow. the message doesn't even sound like greg--so professional!

"so that i might properly research a response for you"

 

[minxnim]

haha omg i totally didnt call! i didnt want your # registering on my work call log.

 

[Baliset]

also to anyone wanting to listen to the message be forewarned that i am totally answering the phone today because peeps be needin to get in touch but just let me know and i will forward you to voicemail if you really want to hear me ramble that badly.

this sounds like fun...but not fun enough to face my phone bill afterwards.

 

[Baliset]

i think i will keep topping this thread because i am not so full of pride that i won't admit that getting random phone calls at work would make my day much more enjoyable.

 

[Baliset]

top again

 

[IanDork107]

I was thinking about calling, but then I didn't.

 

[Baliset]

also i love the similar thread for this.

 

[Baliset]

maybe hansi kursch will want to read the interview and see the similar thread and call my office.

that would be sweet.
