Sure, It's Easy to Mock the Elderly

For the last two days, I have forgotten the phone number to call in to listen to my voice mail on my landline. It's not listed in directory assistance (does that make sense?), I was always too lazy to program it in to speed dial and I did not have it written down anywhere; I had always relied on my hand remembering how to dial it, but on Tuesday night suddenly my hand rebelled. Stupid hand. I knew it had something to do with a 3, a 4, and a bunch zeroes so I kept trying different combinations. Turns out the receptionist at some law firm with a number very close to Voicemail Central was very nice; certainly nicer than I would have been when I stumbled across her three times in ten minutes. Eventually, I would give up and sullenly go back to looking at pictures of attractive young men. Sample provided.


And then, a few minutes ago, the fog lifted and suddenly I remembered the number, effortlessly. I called in and found out I had four messages waiting, only one of which I was actually interested in. I don't even know why I have a phone.

  2. the handset of your phone can be used to beat jehovah's witnesses about the head and shoulders. kabuki canned the landline on the last move, and it has been a pain in the ass going without. damned if you do...

  4. Hire the young man in the photo as your personal assistant and he can take your calls.

  If I was a therapist, I would hand this out to my clients and charge them for it.  OK, OK, OK, I promise I am not going to turn this into ...
