I never quite know what to say at the end of a voice mail.
My co-facilitator called me while I was in class today to let me know that she is sick, running a fever, and will not be in group tonight.
No big deal. I run groups by myself all the time. It gets a little hard when you are teaching the lesson AND have to take notes (what the co usually does) but it always works out.
So, I called her back and got the voice mail. This is what I told her:
"Don't worry about finding a replacement, I'll be fine. Just take it easy and I hope you feel better soon. Have a good Thanksgiving, and I'll see you next week.
thanks, bye."
It started off as such a great message and then just crashed and burned...thanks, bye? thanks for what? for being sick?
Anyway, that's my thought for the day.

Thanks for giving you notice that she won't be there tonight.
Why did you feel you needed a better ending than Have a good Thanksgiving and see you next week?
Exactly. In hindsight, leaving it at that would have made the most sense.
In the heat of the moment however, it never quite works out that way...I guess I always feel like I'm supposed to end it with a definitive goodbye.
I need voice mail practice, lol.
