Everybody's a critic

I was awakened this morning after two AM by the phone ringing. I'd taken sleeping pills so I was unable to swim up in time to answer it, but the ringing did penetrate. By the time I struggled over to the phone, whoever it was had left a message on my voice mail.

So I punched in the code to retrive my messages. Now, like you perhaps, when my phone rings after two AM, I worry. A family member taken sick?

The message on my voice mail consisted of a male voice I did not recognize critisizing my outgoing message.

Try going back to sleep...
