agreed! I don't give my cell number to every client. they can call the office and leave a message.
My first guess would have been a middle school student given an assignment to do something like this. It could be a flake, but I'm prone to be generous and assume it's a kid.
Kids can be a little dense sometimes, in case you have never noticed. Here's a story from my own distant past...over 50 years ago. I thought I needed a dog of my own. We had two or three around but they weren't just "mine". I checked the local newspaper's classified section routinely hoping to see a dog for free that maybe I could convince my parents to let me have. One day there was an ad saying only "Dogs, 15 cents; cats 10 cents". Wow! I could afford that. I sent a letter to the listed address asking what type of dog I could buy for 15 cents. Several days later a piece of mail arrived with my name on it from that address. I was horribly upset to learn that this lady boarded animals and that was her daily charge to do so. Stupid me! Please note that was over 50 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday.

Dear Name Typed Underneath:
Thank you so much for your recent inquiry as to the best way to start work in my field of endeavor. Personally, I favor a large cup of fairly strong coffee. The dark roast, earthy coffees such as Sumatra have certainly withstood the test of time. Give the coffee at least fifteen minutes to take hold. Do not attempt to accomplish anything substantial before then or you will almost certainly regret it. Trust me on this.
Respectfully,

the best way into my field
Is through the pasture gate. However, if you are more the surveyor type, there is no way to be sure how you would wish to gain access to my field. Some surveyors with long legs just step over the fence. Some with short legs climb through the wires. Still others climb over, and tear up their jeans when the wires come loose.
So, let me for what purpose you want into my field... and I will see if I can help you!

15 minutes? i won't pick up a cup unless i know there's unlocked access to facilities within about a 15 second time frame. this only applies to the first cup, though.
oh, and anderson's has a guatemalan special blend in right now that is the bees knees.

The Sumatran coffees/blends are much too earthy in taste for me. I guess it is a matter of taste but I think they cut Sumatran coffee with dirt.
Dark roasts from the volcanic peak cloud forests of Guatemala especially near Coban is my preferred choice. This is the coffee that changed many facets of life through the Viennese coffee salons of yore.
Costa Rican will do when your in a pinch.

As I thought, this business of adding chicory to coffee followed in Louisiana will permanently damage one's ability to appreciate real coffee such as Sumatra dark roast. :>
