Morning started off ok, and then came the message of doom. Person leaves name, number, followed by a quick, ‘call me this is extremely urgent.’ This in turn sends me into a tizzy of nervous dread, mind spinning erratically as the onslaught of questions, fears and worries begin. Hello? Who are you? Where are you calling from? Why is this so bloody urgent? Is there an emergency? Has something terrible occurred? Is someone ill? Has a relative passed? Is my family ok? Have I done something wrong? What?!? What has happened? Tell me! Don’t leave me like this, an anxious worried mess.
I ask you, is it so hard to leave the name of your company when leaving a message on the phone? Is it so difficult to tell the person why exactly you are calling, so that they don’t freak out? Hmm? Is it?
