But still, I called. I didn't follow the rules though; I didn't answer any of their questions. I get too nervous on the phone and too nervous when there is mystery. Now I'm worried that I won't be picked because I didn't leave the proper information on the answering machine message. I'm worried even though I already told myself before I called that I wasn't going anywhere and that they wouldn't pick me anyway.
By the way, on the day the message first showed up, and when I thought McGee was saying we should contact a Current Affair, I emailed the New York Times, the LA Times, BBC World News, and Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Fresh Air from NPR to tell them they ought to contact Stephen Maddox. I got a little carried away maybe.
So, how freaking much longer do we have to wait on this stuff?? Let's get going! Play ball! chop chop!
I called the number but didn't leave a message. I wouldn't be able to travel to do an interview, plus I am no journalist. I'm interested in what will be discussed in the interview but I just called to hear the message. I couldn't make out what was said though.
I thought about calling back a few times and making different funny voices just to pay the staff the compliment of free amusement! I was a little worried though that me calling back with different fake voices would be less amusing, and more annoying...
