Well, I finally need my cell for business as I head to trade shows for the next 4 days, and what that means for Chas Danner fans everywhere is that my voicemail message has been changed. It was for more than a year, this, which was actually a mistake, much like we all probably make as we record a series of voicemail or answering machine messages until we get one we like. Well I F-ed it up, then laughed at it and thought, I’ll just leave it at its non-self conscious best. The amount of voicemails I ended up getting that started with a compliment of the message was alarming. My friend Jimmey particularly loved it and complimented me probably 50 times, telling me I should never change it. My dad, for several messages, could not figure out what I was saying, even after I had thought I explained it to him, which was sort of hilarious: “Dad, I told you already, it’s a mistake…it’s a JOKE” to a man who answers every phone he ever answers with the same terse “BILL DANNER.” which was legendary when I was teenager of course. Anyway, it saddens me to lame out like this, but I can’t have potential accounts wondering if I’m totally insane. But I also don’t think I can ever do it again, as to purposely use a mistake would sort of ruin the non-contentious spontaneity of the original idea. Alas…
