might have just made an idiot of myself

I just made the call that I was freaking out over yesterday--the one to the department where I want this job. And I had (sort of) prepared something to say, except that voice mail seems to turn me into a moron. I sound dreadful on voice mails. It didn't even occur to me that the main line might go to voice mail, and it shouldn't be a big deal because as I said before I am friendly with the administrative assistant over there. She knows who I am. I feel like I should have hung up and just called the director of the department on her direct line, but I didn't want to interrupt her if she was busy so instead I left a voice mail for the assistant saying I wanted to talk to K. for a minute but that I could leave a message if she was busy today, and would she (the assistant, I mean) please call me.
Was that dumb, or did I handle it okay? I really wish I hadn't gotten voice mail because now when I get a call back, I'm going to have to hustle while I'm on the phone to either find an empty office or to go outside because I have no phone privacy here in the cube farm.

Thanks, Jan. Now I'm racking my brain trying to remember what I said and if I remembered to leave my phone number. Of course, logically, I *know* I left my phone number (I wrote it down exactly so I wouldn't forget to leave it! haha), but my OCD really kicks in with voice mail.
Did I mention how much I hate calling people on the phone? And how I really am so much better expressing myself through e-mail? Sigh.
Have not had a call back yet, which is I think what started me thinking I might have forgotten to leave my number.
