The answer to this is to distribute your wrong phone number to everyone.
Ha.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Wow. That's a new one for me. Was she any good? Maybe she thinks she's going to randomly dial some big producer.

mostly I just wish people would not call me.
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.

I have two lines at work. At least now I have a phone where I can tell which line is ringing. It's better just to send email, since 75% of the calls require me to do some investigating and get back to them at a later time. Which I often do with ... email!

Eh, she was fine. I thought it was a teenage prank call at first, especially since most of the schools around here are closed today.
