There is someone hammering on the floor above me. I might go crazy today.

On hold with Washington Gas, and the muzak might melt my brain. Send help.
Yay, Bob!
My nephew told me he doesn't see the point of texting when you could just call. I was surprised because I thought These Kids Today were all about texting, but he does go his own way. I like it because you don't necessarily have to interrupt someone and make them answer, the text will hang out there until they are ready to look at it, same as e-mail (or voicemail, but I tend to babble into voicemail) or post-it notes.
Yay, Bob!
I need coffee. *looks down at mug* Oh.
I need moar coffee.
I like texting for short stuff, like meeting someone or confirming something. I rarely text to just chat.
Excellent news about Bob!
Yay bob!
And belated Yay for Allyson!

It is pouring here. Monsoon level pouring!
There was a blog posted I saw recently that had the header "Email, text, call if someone's dying, and for fuck's sake don't leave me a voicemail." That pretty nicely captures my sentiments on the matter.
For little things that aren't urgent, I find texting much more efficient than calling because you can just ask the question ("Did you remember to buy milk?") without wasting time on chit-chat.
[eta: And yes, I would MUCH rather get a text than a voicemail.]
Except at work, I almost never listen to my voicemail anyways. I just see that someone called and usually call them back. I guess I only listen to voicemail if it is someone I don't really want to talk to.
