MCKNOTES IS AWAY FROM HIS DESK
I’m available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. I’m unable to take your call at this time. I am either with another caller, away from my desk, or busy with drive-up customers who don’t have the energy to get out of the car. Please call back when it’s more convenient for me to take your call. If you’d like to leave a number, I will be happy to return your call if and when I choose, after five business days. If you’d like to leave a longer message, press 2. If you want this message in any other language, please call a country that speaks that language.
I will be back at my desk next week, but you can make an appointment to speak with me sometime in the next few months. Your call is important to me.
