I tried to have the brief annoying telephonic call today. The person was out when I called, and I specifically told this person's receptionist to try me at home after two-thirty or on my cell. So, I don't hear anything at either number and I very nicely write an e-mail saying I'll call in the morning, and reiterating that I left a message. I then get a snippy reply saying this person had tried to call me right back on my cell and that there was no answer and that he hadn't received a return phone call. Unfortunately, I was in my car and I didn't even have the cell turned on. I did turn it on exactly when I said I would, at two-thirty. I had no message from this person at either number. I wrote him back and told him to stop the snippiness and that we'd speak in the morning. It WILL be brief.
