To The 27 People Who Have Called Me Today:
Stop calling me already. Stop using the phone to reach me. You should know by now that I rarely, if ever, pick up the phone. Even if I recognize your number on the Caller ID, chances are I'm just not going to pick it up. If you really want to get in touch with me, send me email. I'll respond immediately.
I ordinarily don't wear T-shirts, but you're forcing me to reconsider.
fresh-baked at 04:27 PMDo like I do ...
leave a message on the answer phone
"if you want to contact me, my e-mail address is ....."
Phone: bad.
Caller ID: good.
Jodi, I like you more and more all the time. We (almost) never answer the phone around here. I'd much rather converse through email.
Offered by: Kim on June 24, 2002 5:29 PMTess, if I saw your name on my Caller ID, I'd assume you'd run out of teeth, which means that your speech would be compromised and I wouldn't be able to make out a word you were saying, which means that I would be even more disinclined to pick up the phone than I ordinarily am. So I'd send you an email and tell you to just write to me, damn it!
Offered by: Jodi on June 24, 2002 5:17 PMI had always felt "double covered" because I not only had Caller ID but I had Privacy Manager too! If your not familar with PM, its an add-on service that takes the unfamilar calls and answers them unbeknowst to you and pushes them through if the caller meets a criteria LOVE IT. Now if a call does come through, I may still not answer it but I know it's someone I know LMAO! But that's what the answering machine is for.
Offered by: Charlene on June 24, 2002 4:47 PMWhat if you saw "Tess" on the caller ID?
I'm exactly the same way. I'd rather have a tooth pulled than talk on the phone...
