I listen to the newest one first: “Corrine, this is Dunn. Give me a call soonest.” I shudder a little. That was a recent transferred call. What if I hadn’t had Tia do that? Wait. It would have gone straight to Corrine’s office phone, and she never checks her messages on that thing. I have to do that for her. I stop shuddering. Because of my boss’s incompetence, the holes in my plan fill themselves. I listen to the next voice mail: “Oh, this is ridiculous. What kind of a phone do you have? I will reimburse you for whatever phone you get, now, just get one! Oh, for goodness’ sake! Call me now, Shari! I need you!” I sigh. I’ll bet the rest of these are from Corrine, too. I listen to the next one: “Shari, this is Tia. Dunn needs an update from Corrine. You better call him.” Okay. I’ve already gotten this information. I listen to the next one: “Shari, I told you to keep your phone on. Don’t you ever listen to me? I leave and you fall completely apart. Call me immediately!”
