I'm currently stressing out because I have a voicemail from my big boss, but I'm on a conference call. I hate not answering my phone! Of course, I hate answering it, too -- mostly I just wish people would not call me.

My theatre friend turned me on to CJ, back when I was bitter and refused to listen to any female vocalist. Turned me right around.
Ha. The answer to this is to distribute your wrong phone number to everyone. Then act surprised when nobody calls you. Okay, this perhaps only works for me. But nobody ever calls me for work anyway. Yay. Okay, admittedly, I never answer the phone for personal calls, either.

See, I rarely answer my home phone unless I recognize the number, but screening your calls at work? Dude! Don't screen your calls when you've asked for technical support!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I just got a call from a SINGING telemarketer. I can't tell if the singing was supposed to be part of the call, or if I picked up unexpectedly while she was...singing. She didn't sound embarassed about it, so maybe the singing was the point. Or maybe that's just how she gets through her day.

Wow. That's a new one for me. Was she any good? Maybe she thinks she's going to randomly dial some big producer.

This is why I don't have a cell phone.

Okay, technical problem is now solved, I can finally call for Thai food, and at least nobody is singing at me.

I'm actually trying to get better at calling people, but that doesn't apply to my CEO calling me with a question I can't really answer, because she's asking me for information she gave me at our Christmas party, so I never wrote it down, and now we both forget. Argh.
