short rant
It's no secret that i hate voicemail with a burning firey passion. I'm notoriously bad at checking my messages. that being said--
I'm not so bad that i haven't checked it in a year. I know this, 'cuase every so often teri will make me check them, usually when i have about 10 or so in the que.
Currently, in order to check my mesages, I have to sit through EVERY SINGLE MESSAGE I"VE RECIEVED IN THE PAST YEAR while my phone asks me, after repeating the phone # the message came from, if i want to erase it. there isn't an "erase all" function.
ARG. FUCK.
this means...If you've left me a VM in the past few weeks...I haven't gotten it. I'm trying to remove messages from sept. 2007 (now up to Nov. 2007!) from my phone.
so, do me a favor and just...don't leave me VMs for a while, k? if you can't get a hold of me by phone, send me an email. lrgilbert@gmail.com. don't call teri, unless it's really an emergency. lets face it tho--if its an emergency--leaving me a VM is...pretty useless. I won't get it. you're better off sending me an email, or just hanging up--missed calls actually show up on my phone, and it's easier to just call folks back. I'm MORE likely to get back to you if you hang up then if you leave me a message. ok?
grah. in a month or so, you all can leave me VMs again, I promise. and pookie will make sure i check them, and things will go back to normal--but it'll probably still be a more surefire way to get a hold of my by email then by VM. I mean, I check my email compulsively, at least twice a day--more if i'm working.
