Just a thought....I often return all calls at one time during the day. So, I call Mr. X, and leave a message if he isn't in, and go on to Mr. Y, Mr. Z, etc. So, often when people call back, I am already on the phone. Nothing personal, just the way it works sometimes.

Why not leave a message that says, "I just got your email, sorry to miss talking to you....sounds like this is a 'rush' job, and I want to accomodate the schedule. BUT, I need to get moving on this NOW! So, every moment matters....call me as soon as you can, so I can try to fit you in."


Sometimes, people falsely put in a sense of urgency when one doesn't exist. Maybe she was just panicking for nothing?
