There's an idea for a dystopian comedy skit somewhere in this:
> Will’s so busy leaving messages all over town that he never answers the phone when you call him back...Sometimes calls were forwarded to a host of people who went by “Pat.” They said they worked for PATLive, an answering service firm that takes calls for businesses when they’re busy or closed. Pats were taking messages for “Steven’s Office” in Alexandria, Virginia.
> Asked why there were several Pats, a Pat said: “We’re all Pat.”
> “We all go by Pat to keep it easy,” said Pat. “But we do have some Pats in the office.”
