Never leave a pause after the initial - Hi - in your voicemail.

"Phone" : Hi...

 

Michaela: Hi, it's me Mich..

 

"Phone" : I can't take your call right now, but please leave..

 

Michaela: Eeek!!! Here you take it! (Handing over the receiver.)

 

Satsuki: Why? What's wrong? (Taking the receiver and listens.)

 

"Phone" : .. after the beep. Thank you. BEEEP!!

 

Satsuki: Err... hi... we.. would you, could you, if you're home? You're not obviously... play perhaps? Bye.. (almost hanging up) It's me Satsuki... bye. And Michaela, bye!

 

Michaela: Sorry. I panic whenever I get an answering machine.

 

Satsuki: Me too! It it messes with ones brain I'm sure. You end up sounding like someone with severe speech paralysis.

 

Michaela: Ha ha, no you were very smooth and composed.

 

Satsuki: Right. *Snicker* More like someone with a screw loose.
