telephone hang-up

Can you believe, the mayor of Chicago called us at home yesterday? OK fine, it wasn’t actually him, only a pre-recorded message asking us to vote. Everyday, we receive at least a couple phone calls from machines, which has quickly become a pet peeve. A typical call would be like this: (ring) “Hello?” (two second pause…click) “Hi! Don’t hang up! This is a very important…” I hang up. I did get humans a couple times, but once it was the Chicago Police trying to fundraise, which was rather intimidating, and the other time, after I declined to donate, the guy insisted that I should because apparently, I sound like a really nice person. I hung up.

    I’m so glad they haven’t started calling me on my cell phone yet. Yes, we’ve seen your blog, and enjoy looking at the many pictures of Tayden. Now that we’re blogging we’ll probably start commenting on yours and others’ blogs more regularly…
