"Ohhhh Boy!"

Today after my lunch break I found this lovely message on my office voicemail from a middle aged man.

"Hi this is ________, I was supposed to have an appointment today at 3 with ________ and I’ve been having diarrhea all this morning so um, um, I uh, I just can’t do that, uhhh I think I better rest up. Uuuummmm, the phone number here is ________ and, um, I’ll get back with ________, ya know, as soon as I get better. I hope this doesn’t take too much longer, but I had to pick up my drugs at the drugstore there and uh ya, I won’t be able to make it. I think I’ll try to leave a message on his desk too. Thanks, sorry about this. It’s been- I’ve been doing that- I mean, it’s been going on all morning long, Ohhh Boy. Ok bye."


I definitely played it on the speaker phone at least 3 times so that all the other employees could hear it.

This seriously just made my day.

hahahahah!!!

as as for the comment above, this is all I have to say:

"TMI: Too much information. I used to say Don't Go There, but that's just lame."

You have NO idea how hard I am laughing right now!!!

Especially after my crappy day (sorry about the pun) and reading about bathroom issues at another blog http://clairemontgomerymd.blogspot.com/ , it just REALLY seems TOO perfect of a post!!

Get some computer savvy person (maybe Jared?) to convert the voicemail to an audio file and bleep out the personal info. Then post the audio file on your blog. The transcript is funny, but we want to hear the real thing.

Miles- oh my gosh, Jared just said that exact same thing. PS. I copied that word for word. I had the phone to my ear and played it like 3 times just to be sure I got all the right uhhh and ummms.

why. why? a simple 'i need to reschedule' would have done just fine. people are crazy, this is just more proof of that!

Amanda said...

ps has it been long enough since the blog roll fiasco to repost it? there are specific people's blogs i read via yours & i miss them!

(and no comments about how this is stalking/creepy because you know you all do it too!!!!)

Emma said...
