Why do I have to sound like an idiot every time I leave a message on some one's answering machine/voice mail? WHY? It’s one thing when it’s a friend's machine, but why do I have to suddenly forget how to speak like any other sane person when its work related???

“Hi, this is SoAndSo from Whatever Company. I have a few questions about the thingamajig. If you could call me back I'd greatly appreciate it. My number is 555-1234, extension 9367. Thank y— OH WAIT! The extension is 3967. Thank you.”

That message was quickly followed up with a big ol’ mental smack to the forehead. D’oh!

Amazingly, with all the verbal constipation and gibberish talk I do here at work, my cover has yet to be been blown! They still believe me to be a competent, articulate, hardworking gal! The fools! Mwhahahahahaaaa :)
