Work in Progress III

Being on phone duty this morning (telefono trabajo according to Phil) has helped stir up some special memories of phone calls past... let's discuss one of those memories.

Kendall ventured to James M. Bennett High School to show off her World of Work presentation to some eager beavers ready to jump right into the workforce! She handed out business cards, seemingly in vain, never in her wildest dreams expecting an actual call. Imagine her surprise when she had a voicemail from a young man who had attended her presentation and sought her assistance in his transition into the World of Work.

But alas! Kendall, in her usual rude fashion, never returned his phone call. He called back again and again, always getting the voicemail and becoming more vengeful and infuriated with each message left, and never getting a return phone call. What could he have done to incur this wrath from Kendall, the Wicked Witch of the West Wing? Why couldn't she just step down from her pedestal and call this poor man back?

Because in all of his messages left, he never left a return number.

UPDATE: Just got a call from a young lady inquiring about a program we have that assists with funding for education. I told her that it takes about 2 months to complete. There is a long pause before she says, "I'm trying to get into a class that starts on the 20th...." Yea... no.
