| A regular feature of The Knucklebuster for five
years, sadly we must say good-by to this section. Seems that no one has
any time to be clever with their voice mail anymore. In fact few have time
for their voice mail at all! We now hear messages like.. "I will be
out of the office until Tuesday, January 5th".. unfortunately its usually
July 15th. Worse yet, a brief message may lead the caller to a beeper or
pager which is usually out of order, or a second in command who is "away
from their desk". E-mail isn't the solution either... humor seems to
amount to attachments passed on endlessly, rather than an original idea.
No time for that! On top of all of this, to get to these rushed voice mails
we often must negotiate a company's "press 1" labyrinth on our
way. Frustrating isn't it? Are we now "strictly business"? |
