I have to answer my cell since calls to my work number are forwarded. On my landline (yes, I still have one) I can ignore all but my parents and the building com/buzzer system.
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I don't answer the phone unless I recognize the caller, but I've been getting a lot more calls (that I don't answer).

I mean it's obviously the political season.
Unrelatedly, xkcd on a subject near to all our hearts:

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Nice to see you, Nilly! Have a blessed holiday.
Steph, I hadn't considered it but since you said it, it seems like a good idea.
Lots of ~ma for B, Laura.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Verizon sent me a text that they were doing something about spam calls and also iPhones are doing something but I didn't really pay attention. I don't seem to be getting many, or seeing them anyway. I do theoretically still have a landline but I'm not sure the phone is plugged in...hasn't rung in a long time...

My kids know about the buffistas and have free use of the internet but also find their parents deeply boring, as is normal for teenagers.

Heh
Brief chat with my grandboss re: stuff going on with one of my accounts that may potentially make it less of a headache in the future. We shall see. One of the things I know we tried to do before and there were problems that I'm not sure ever got resolved...well, at least I got a chance to point that out before it goes live, and maybe there's a fix I don't know about
