Receptionist: Hello, this is Anonymous Law Firm, how may I help you?
Me: This is Pat, is Joe in?
Receptionist: Did you say this is Cat?
Me: No, Pat.
Receptionist: Todd? (No joke, about 25% of the time when I've said Pat, they ask me if I said Todd).
Me: No, Pat, P, A, T.
Receptionist: Okay Todd, may I ask whom you are calling?
Me; Um, Joe.
Receptionist: Are you an attorney?
Me: Yes.
Receptionist: And may I tell him why you are calling?
Me: I'm returning his call.
Receptionist: And what did that concern?
Me: Whatever it was that he was calling about. He called just five minutes ago.
Receptionist: And what was he calling about?
Me: Um. . . I'm sure he knows.
Receptionist: Shall I see if he is in?
Me: That'd be great, thanks.
Pause. . . . .
Receptionist: He says he's not in.
Me: Really, he asked me to call him?
Receptionist: Well Todd, would you like to leave a message.
Me: The name is Pat, and yes I'd like to leave a message.
Receptionist: Todd, would you like to leave that with me or his voice mail?
Me: Does he check his voice mail?
Receptionist: Yes.
Me: I'll take voice mail.
Receptionist: Okay, what is your message.
Me: Umm, I'd like voice mail.
Receptionist: Okay, I'll let him know that.
Me: No, wait, I'd like to leave him a message on his voice mail.
Receptionist: And will he know who you are?
Me: I hope so, he called me five minutes ago and we have only one case together, I think he'll know which one that is.
Receptionist: And whom shall I tell him he is calling?
Me: Pat.
Receptionist: And what shall I say this is about, Cat?
Me: No, Pat, and I'm returning his call.
Receptionist: And what was he calling about, Todd?
