I heard that on a vm the other day and thought it was weird. I had no issue with it but would never make that my own vm 'greeting'.

How is this any different than "I'll call when I have a chance", or "I'll call when as soon as I'm available"?

this is what i was thinking as well.

Please leave a message... at the beep!
I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone,
Where could I be?
Believe it or not, I'm not home!

Damn you mosh I just spit my Dr. Pepper out on my desk just thinking of the music playing in the background with it too.

How absurd. I expect people to drop what they are doing and call me back as soon as they get a message from me.

the person is 'senior coordinator.' that's another word for overpaid admin assistant.

what do you think about his voicemail?


edit:
Mine says: "Please leave a message. Thank you."

What's w/the obnoxious "at my convenience?"

Sounds standard to me.

OK, now it's convenient.

The polite phrase is "at my earliest possible convenience."

That admin asst is a 'tard making a crucial mistake and probably doesn't realize it.

That's what I was thinking. The tard probably doesn't recognize the difference in tone between "convenience" and earliest possible convenience".

concur

The guy probably heard someone else's message and thought it sounded good and "formal", then fucked it up when he recorded his own outgoing message.
