I. HATE. VOICEMAIL.

Voice mail hates me!

Or maybe...

Could it be that I am lacking a gene to navigate leaving messages to a nameless, faceless, cold and impersonal machine?

No matter how hard I try, I just can't leave a sane sounding message!

I start out okay but it always goes downhill - rapidly.

I forget what I've said.

I begin to repeat myself.

I start to stammer...

Knowing full well that I can't take any of it back - in most cases, I can’t even delete and try again - which really never helps anyway!

And now, I find that this wicked gene runs in the family! As I listened to my son leaving a message the other day, I realized that I can't blame this one on my husband! :)
