Why I Don't Leave Voice Mails

This is a dramatization of a phone call I made yesterday.

Voice Mail: "...please leave your name and number and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Beeeeeep."

Me: "Hi my name is Derek, I received an email from you today inviting me to interview with your program and I was just calling to set that up. I was thinking December 17th if that was still available. Please give me a call back at....ummm...For some reason I'm blanking on my telephone number...it's....uhhh...3-3...no, wait....uhhh....ummm..."

Voice Mail: "Beeeeeep. End of message."

What a moron.

HAHAHAHAH!! That's okay, I was talking to someone yesterday who didn't even know her cell phone number. Hey, I hope you get into that program!!

So what happened next? Did you call them back or crawl into a hole?

I hate leaving voice messages too.

I hope you come to New Mexico. That would be way cool, if you ask me.

That's awesome. There are only a couple numbers that I have memorized. Speed Dial Killed the Radio Star.
