Why is a British DJ calling MY house at 4am?
Brother-In-Law, maybe his car broke down? Step-Niece in jail? Mom Sick? We knew the kids were ok, they are in bed. As the message came to an end, and the long pause before it begins recording began, the room filled with an ominous, worry-filled aura. Mike and I looked at each other and waited.
"Hi Susan, This is Neil Long, from the UK, I was calling for our interview. If you're there pick up the phone"
Oh, Shit! I thought it was at 4PM! For a second, I just listened in disbelief. Had I gotten the time zone difference wrong AGAIN? I've done it several times. I can't seem to count when I'm converting time zone differences. Even if it's one hour.
I didn't have any choice but to let the answering machine run, and hop online to see if I could email him to tell him I was terribly sorry for the mixup, and my phone was dead, and it was my fault, and I suck, and should be beat around the head and neck.
A few minutes later, the phone rang again. "Neil here, may I speak to Susan?"
Turns out, I was right for once, and HE had counted wrong. So, maybe I don't really suck so bad. If I'm not the only one who does it, it's not so bad.
Turns out, he's a super-nice guy, and I can't wait to do the interview at 4AM tomorrow morning. (Just happens to be perfect timing, the kids are in bed, and I have the house to myself, so we rescheduled)
You've gotta hear it, if only to hear that suave British accent. Imagine that, Deep Sayowth, and a Brit. You might need to bring a translator.
And that's the story about Why is a British DJ calling MY house at 4am?
I'll let you know how it goes.
