Pet Peeve #2: VM Greetings

We've had voice mail for what, more than a decade now? Yes, we know you can't come to the phone and we know our message is important to you. We know to wait for the beep and to leave our name, number, time we called and a brief message.

How many times a day do we have to listen to the same instructions? A simple "You've reached so and so, please leave a message" would work just fine and save countless hours waiting patiently (or in my case, impatiently) for the rambling VM instructions to end so we can actually leave a message.

Scott, take a little something for your nerves before calling the reservation line for Elden Street Players' upcoming production of "Side Show!" The message that you will hear is kinda long. Totally worth it, though, since by calling it you will avoid missing a GREAT show! That number, by the way, is (703) 481-5930. If you just can't handle the phone thing, you can also reserve seats at www.eldenstreetplayers.org!
Bye for now,
Dean
