You didn't believe me, did you?
It's ok. I have proof. For one entire day I decided to answer my phone every time it rang, and keep a record of it. Maybe now you'll understand where I'm coming from.
7:31am: A girl who works for me calling to ask if the vacation calendar is open so she can be off today.
7:47am: A different girl who works for me calling to say she's not coming to work because she is sick.
8:39am: A girl who used to work in my department calling to ask me to fix a problem with a customer's account. Bonus: Now I have to call the customer and explain it to them.
12:21pm: Shortly before I take the first delicious bite of my pizza rolls (fresh from the toaster oven) Sarah calls and says she is stuck at the hospital and wants me to bring her some food. So I have to leave, go wait in line at Wendy's, take the food to Sarah, then come home and eat cold pizza rolls real fast and go back to work.
1:50pm: My boss calling to say she isn't coming in to work today, she assigns me two projects.
2:55pm: My co-worker Shun calls to remind me that I owe him a Saturday. Thanks to me answering the phone, I have to work on Saturday the 29th.
4:05pm: Sarah calling to say she has to be at hospital til 6, but could I clean the kitchen when I get home? She's gonna make spaghetti and it would be easier if she didn't have to clean the kitchen before she started cooking.
5:22pm: I get home from work. Screw this, I'm not answering anymore phone calls today.
6:09pm: Sarah gets home. Yells at me because she tried to call but I didn't answer.
I hope now you have a better understanding of why I wish I didn't have a phone.
