I no longer have an assistant

My assistant, Bari, got a full time job with benefits. It was fun working with her and I wish her only the best.

I'm back answering my own phones. Please leave a message & repeat your phone number twice! Please!

I will NOT identify myself. I just say something like "this is Fran returning your call". If you pretend to be someone else, then you lose your free phone consultation!

If I can call you at night, please let me know if it's ok, the phone number to use and how late I can call you. I often return calls until 10 p.m.

If you claim it is an emergency, I will return your call as soon as I retrieve it. If it's 2 a.m., I will call you back! So be careful when you claim it's an emergency!
