Have you ever receive such message where you cannot do anything with it?
Ad: Lam called and urgently looking for you.
Me: *no idea who Lam is* Did he say what it was?
Ad: No
Me: Did you ask for his contact number?
Ad: No
Me: What do you want me to do?
Ad: *speechless*
Now what should I do with message like this. I think my voicemail box does a better job, at least the caller would leave his/her contact in it.
I know some of us are not used to leaving message on a recording machine. I was once like that but got the hang of it after I started my job here in Penang. Everyone is given a virtual receptionist. A few classic voice messages that I received that I love to share:
VM#1
Hello, hello, ……*tut* *tut* *tut*….
VM#2
*music*
VM#3
Hi, I am calling from ABC and would like you to call me back. *what number should I dial?*
VM#4
Hi, I am bla…bla…bla…Please call me back at 2…7421. *too fast to catch what the number was, even after replaying the message a few times*
VM#5
Bla bla bla……………………bla bla….bla bla bla…. *ran out of memory*
answering machine makes me nervous!
