Hey, uh, yeah I was just calling to see if the job was still available? Well, um, you haven’t taken down the listing yet, so I thought mmmmm...okay. Um, alright. Yeah, no problem. Thanks, bye.
Hey yeah, you guys have been sort of calling me a lot so I wanted to see if I could get off your list. No- It’s just, we don’t use the service. No, we don’t need to upgrade it, we don’t use it. No, I mean, like, we don’t watch it, we don’t have it set up. Alright, yeah. Okay, um, just take me off the list. Okay. Thanks, you too, bye.
Hello? Yes, speaking. Uh, I can’t, I can’t talk about this right now, I’m at work. Alright give me a call back another time, thanks, bye. For fuck’s sake…
Hey Brianna, it’s Joe, just wanted to say I won’t be able to make it today, I haven’t been feeling that well. I’ve been trying to get a hold of Mia all day, but she won’t answer my calls, not sure who could cover my shift. Um, but I figured, if you’re in the office, maybe you could ask around for me? See if Brian is there, or? I don’t know. If someone could do it, that would be great. Um, let me know. I’m sorry to put this on you, I hope Duncan isn’t, like, pissed or anything. Um. But. We’ll talk about that later. Okay, thanks, bye.
Hey, yeah, I know- no I just got off the phone, um, I left a message for Brianna. Yeah. No, I can’t, I can’t wait for tonight. Fuck that job, right? I mean... who… they can deal. They haven’t even… right, yeah. How many times have they asked me to cover a shift? And how many times right, every time. Yeah. So fuck that place, I can’t, can’t do that. Um. So I’m leaving in like maybe 20 minutes, so I should be to you in a couple hours and we can do… I don’t know, we can do… okay, alright yeah, why don’t we wait and when I get there we can talk about it. Okay, great, looking forward to it. Alright, see you soon. Bye!
Hey, I’m about to hit the road, um, just wanted to remind you that Georgia’s food is under the sink. Um, and I left some treats out, so when you come in if you just crinkle the bag she’ll come find you. Um. And I feel like you guys will be buddies so, have a good time hanging out in my apartment, um, you know, watch some TV or do whatever you want. If you want to hang out for a bit I know she’d like that, but if you don’t want to do that, that’s fine, too. Feel free to just pop in and check in on her. Um, and I left forty bucks for you on the table. Uh, so, I hope you have a good weekend and I’ll talk to you soon. Alright, bye.
