Struggling for the words that I was so intent on saying, I think I sounded like someone who is a newborn to communication etiquette. These answering machines, these voice mail boxes. What is it about talking to open air that makes us stutter on the words. What is it that makes us utter unbelievably large amounts of uh’s and um’s in simple sentences. Maybe it’s the fact that we know we have one shot to leave a message…no retries or spur of the moment changes…There you go, 20 seconds to spill your guts out. Well, maybe it’s not so glorified. I just get a kick out of listening to messages in my mailbox which people have left in a hurry which were meant to represent something??? but ended up sounding like endless ramble… the exact kind of messages I leave.
