When I listened, I heard that it was my boss, asking if I could come in while they were having a meeting. So I...

There is no in between. You are either "A" or "B." Personally, as I find myself hilarious, I'm "A." And this is about an answering machine. An "A" story about an answering machine.

(Thanks in advance for viewing my poetry).
Answering machines have saved my life
on more than one occasion,

Yes, I would tell him/her off good! Imagine! I can turn off the ringer to my phone, but then the base of the phone, the answering machine, doesn't turn off. Now what sense does that make? If I wanted to turn off only the handset,...

I haven't had an answering machine in so many years that I can't even remember how long it's been. I have voice mail on both my cell phone and my landline and love it. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it's...
