Table of Conents
It didn't quite work out as planned though, because an employee was making copies of his or hers asstribute and sending the images to the owner. They never did find the person. But they did cancel the extra machine.
Joe mutters, "I might as well listen to the rest of my messages." Once again he starts to listen to Jack explain the NON-delivery. Joe saves the message just in case he needs to forward it to Bobbi later.
It may come in handy if he loses the order. The second message was dated at 2:56 on Friday and it was from Rod Stoneworth the owner at All Square Construction.
"Joe, its Rod, please give me a call. The machine hasn't arrived yet and some of my people leave at three. You know the number. Thanks."
"Hmmm... I guess I could call him, but I have nothing to say," Joe thinks. "I'll wait until I hear back from Bobbi."
The last message that he retrieves is from his regional sales director, and it's dated Monday 7:45am.
"Joe, this is Bishop. Give me a call today; I want to discuss a focus group that Corporate is putting together on some of the equipment delivery issues. Since you're the most vocal, I figured you would jump at this chance to help improve the system. I'll be on my cell today the number is...." Joe wants nothing to do with any focus group. Just then Bobbi approaches. Joe hangs up. He'll call Bishop back later with some excuse NOT to participate.
"Bobbi, did you fix it?" Joe asks. Bobbi nods and says, "Yeah, Jack told me that the unit should be arriving this morning. They found the sorter Friday afternoon. I guess it was there the whole time.
They had stored it with the wrong mainframe. It wasn't a big issue after all. Let me know what this customer says, OK?"
