I pretty much always answer the phone. I'm a gabber, as anyone who's talked to me on the phone before probably knows.
Speaking of which, I made a phone call to distract me while I put away the laundry, and now it's all put away! Go me! So, naptime.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

I feel MASSIVE guilt when I ignore the phone. I've gotten better at being able to ignore it (the phone AND the guilt), but it still nags at my conscience -- like, if someone went to the trouble to call me, they want to talk to me, and if I'm there to hear my phone ring, I owe the caller the courtesy of talking to them.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Gronk.
I love Bluetooth headsets, and desperately want one. Given the fact that I also want an iPod AND a Treo, I don't think I'll be assimilated into the Borg just yet (as opposed to the b.org).
Gronk. I already said that. Yes. Bartended last night. Had hella fun.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
vw has inspired me - i will put away laundry.
I do not have a bluetooth- and I get annoyed with people for expecting me to answer my cell phone. esp if I am at work . when I do not have my cell phone anywhere near me. I just don't give out the nuber often. and I always tell people - you can try it , but there is no garuntee that I will answer it. But I like my cell , it is very convienet. but for me to use, not for anyone to actually reach me.

My mom used to have a code when she called. She'd call once, let it ring one time, and then hang up immediately and call back again, in the hopes that that way I'd know it was her and consider bothering to pick up the phone. It worked, mostly, except that when I just wasn't there she got all paranoid.

Oh dear. Well, please do come back when you're done for an opposing view.

That sounds... um... fun? If you're relating fun to being stuck in the movie Chainsaw Massacre, that is. Good luck?

This is why I could never have such a code. call waiting feeds my paranoia enough, thank you very much.

Gudanov, this frickin counseling ever give you a chance to vent? I mean does anyone ever consider that the other person may have occassionally done something wrong?
