Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature | | English term or phrase: love your work | “You’ve reached the voice mailbox of Laura Stahl,” says the message Jacob knows by heart, because its mocking tone has always annoyed him. “I either can’t or won’t answer. So don’t take it personally when you hear the beep, okay? Love your work. Peace.” A long beep follows.

| | English translation:= "I love your work." | Explanation:
It's a pseudo-Hollywoodish, or in any case New York-art-scene-ish pose. This sentence is added to make it easier to handle the fact that Laura is not picking up the phone.
It's not entirely 'appropriate' as you say -- or more precisely not a normal component of phone messages. But it's in the same category of pose-memes like "You look maahvelous, daahling." |
