Awright, WHY is it

[cjsmith]

Why is it that the people I'd love to hear from, the people who couldn't possibly tell me too much about what's going on in their lives, the people I really enjoy talking to, the people I wish I could spend more time with, the people I would really like to have open up and share things with me... are NEVER EVER the same ones who phone me up out of the blue and assume I have an hour to listen to them blather?

I guess this post could have been a lot shorter. To wit: "Caller ID is your friend."

...and...you have Caller ID...don't you?

My calls to you are always blocked, until I remember to press extra buttons to specify my ID.(

I do indeed, but no amount of technology will save me if I'm too stupid to use it. :-)

Sorry about that inconvenience, by the way. It has saved us from telemarketers just beautifully, but it's a pain to our friends... not a happy set of alternatives to trade off.
