For the record!

Here's a little workplace advice for the snarkier of you out there.

After leaving a seemingly professional voice mail, make sure you actually hang the phone up before going off on a tirade about how out-of-line/stupid/bad/horrible you think the person whose voice mail you're recording is, mmmkay?

NB: I was not the one leaving the message.

OH, and for the record? I have no idea what you had up your ass there, missy/mister, but I am now MUCH LESS interested in helping you out EVER. All I asked was whether we could talk about collaborating on a project.

Someone needs some people skills. Or else a course on operating cell phones.
