Burrell, I don't get why you can't cancel it. I wouldn't doubt I'm missing something (see the no good, lousy week I had), but if it was switched to VoIP or Google Talk, you would have still gotten the call. Old childhood friend would have never known the difference.
Jesse, I do. I often use a headset though. I haven't had any issues with my conference calls, but we're all in the U.S. GM was starting a program just as I was leaving to get those that work from home or in the field exclusively on cell phones. It's now spread to those who work in the Ren Cen.
We used to have a landline so DH could record interviews, but these days he does everything via cell. The call quality has really improved tremendously.
Call quality concerns me, too. My (Sprint) cellphone is acceptable, but the sound is still not really good.
So, Annabel's latest favorite thing is to suspect that in an alternate universe, she and her friends are characters in a TV show. She's got it all worked out who'd be shipped, what their ship names would be (hers are all the friend's name with "abel" tagged on the end), what the fanart might look like--you'd totally have to have the version where everyone was a werewolf, or maybe some were werewolves and some vampires, or they could be demigods--and so on. I made a crack about people waiting for Season 10 of the Annabel Show, to which she replied there's no reason to assume she'd be the central character.
I like her humility...
When I mentioned how hard it was to make a ship name for me and her father--Dylsus? Sudyl?--she said we'd be an established couple so there'd be no need to ship us anyway.
I think I'm giving some of you the idea that you have to use your cell phone for everything. You don't. Take your current home phone, remove the RJ-11 jack from the wall, and plug it in to the back of the adapter. You're still using the same house phone as before, but now you have options for when you're not at home. You will need good internet speeds for good call quality, but that's less and less of a problem these days. For the last four or five years I couldn't tell the difference between my home Vonage line and a landline from the phone company.

ooo, perspective. Something many people never develop, much less at such a young age.
Maria, you may have talked me into it.

Has she been watching Community?
Not that I'm aware of...
Matilda has been watching it lately, so I think it would be safe for her. And, of course, it is super fannish and has alternate timeline stories.
Anyway, I admire her early commitment to fandom.
How are your bruises and stitches?
Zen, do your independent research and let me know. Profile addy good.
Good to see you, Susan! I hope you're healing well.
