4/1/11
It has come to my attention that everyone has the exact same
voicemail message on their office phone. The script reads something like
this: “Hello, you’ve reached the desk of _____(so-and-so)____. I’m either
away from my desk right now or on another line. Please leave a message
and I’ll get back to you at my earliest convenience.” On this first day
of April 2011, I dare you to be different. Re-record your greeting today
and say something creative, dammit. Tell me how many days there are until
Christmas. Tell a knock-knock joke. Give a recipe for saltwater
taffy. Pretend that you’re Johnny Mathis. Declare your love for
hush puppies (the side dish at Long John Silver’s, not the shoes).
Whatever it is, make it unique and then sit back and wait for your voicemail
indicator lamp to light up with messages from delighted clients, impressed
colleagues, and baffled telemarketers.
