Today I tried to call a business consultant I know. He didn’t answer but I immediately got a text from him before I could leave him a message. The text read: “Sorry I can’t take your call now. I’ll call you back very soon.” Well, I fell for it. I did. I always do. Yeah. I pulled the phone from my ear to read his text. By the time I got the phone back to my ear, his voicemail message was over, so I didn’t know if he was maybe in a meeting or maybe off skiing or something. (I’m not sure if he’s a skier, but he sometimes wears one of those cool tight ski caps.) And I missed the beep, so I didn’t leave him a message.
I’ll take partial blame here. Yeah, I shouldn’t be checking texts when I’m on the phone (driving or not!). But, do we need his text message if there’s already a voice message on his voicemail? At a minimum, the following needs to be added to the above text message: “And sorry if this text caused you to miss leaving me a voice message.”
