Voicemail Greetings

I've just spent an hour recording voicemail greetings on my cell phone and our home phone. What a pain in the ass! My voice sounds completely different when it's played back than it does in my head. I don't really like it actually.

Since my new job officially starts on Monday, I wanted to update my cell phone message. This took about 50 tries and finally I got something that was "ok". Then I decided while I was at it I should record one for the home phone which hasn't even been set up since we bought it about 3 weeks ago.

For the cell recording I kept it professional since it's being used for business. The home phone I decided to be a little funny and said this:

"Dean and I either aren't home, screening our calls or didn't hear it ring, so leave a message..."

Ok, now that I see that typed out it looks quite rediculous so I must go back and start over!

*********************** 30 minutes later *****************

Well, I went back to the standard "We aren't here, leave a message". Is there anyone on Earth who doesn't know the instructions for leaving a message by now? The whole routine seems very stupid...

Oh well, that task it complete.
