Voicemail

I'm taking the dogs for a walk early, and work calls, I ignore it. I must have forgotten to take my work phone call forwarding off.

My phone tells me there is a new voicemail.

My damn phone provider doesn't seem to be able to turn off the voicemail on my phone despite me having contacted them many times to have it turned off.

I hate being beholden to voicemail. Any of my friends who call my phone tells me they have called and I just call them back. Anyone else, thinks they have left me a message and then it is up to me to call them back. It is on me. Calls, I probably wouldn't have answered and without my voicemail betraying me, I wouldn't even know they have made. I strictly do not answer numbers I don't know.

Working from home makes it a bit tricky, with my office phone re-directed, I have to answer calls in work hours when I am working.

Other than that, anyone who needs to get in contact with me, can send me a text message.

Otherwise, ignorance is bliss.

Later, my voicemail tells me it was The Midget from work. Why would The Midget call me on a non-work day? Why? Why? Why?

Later again, I remember Boris took today off, so The Midget wants me to do something. Damn voicemail.

My phone contract is up very soon, and I am giving up 450G of saved data to change to a provider who can switch off my voice mail. Fuck it.

I don't use my phone data. Having worked from home for 5 years, I use my laptop. Don't worry, I am addicted to my laptop just as much as other people are addicted to their phones. I just don't see why I would use my phone's small screen when I can use my laptop's large screen.
