I hate Call Waiting! There, I've said it, and I'll say it again.... I really hate Call Waiting! So why do I have it, you ask? Yeah, I'm asking myself that too. I originally got it because when I ordered my phone service with that-service-provider-who's-name-I-don't-wish-to-say, I was told that my service included 2 of 3 features. Since I already have an answering machine, that meant I got Call Display and Call Waiting. Not a biggie, I thought. After all, we can go for hours, and sometimes days, without the phone even ringing...and then when it does, it's often a telephone solicitor. So how is it that whenever I'm on the phone, it is inevitable that another call comes in? How can a phone go from never ringing, to only ringing when I'm on it? It's one of those mysteries that just can't be explained. I wouldn't have any trouble just ignoring the incoming call entirely, although when it happens there's this god awful noise in my ear and then I've missed what the person I'm currently speaking with has said. Pain - in - the - butt!! So cancel it you say?? What, and go back to NEVER getting any phone calls?? When for five minutes every few days I can FEEL popular because I've got 2 phone conversations going at once?? I've always been a multi-tasker...I guess this is how I'll exercise that skill! So if you happen to call me some day and there's no answer, and no answering machine kicks in...you'll know I'm just having a bad multi-tasking day!!
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY: I always suspected, but now it's confirmed...I'm a superstitious person. What happened today to drive that point home, you ask? It was the fortune cookie I had after my Chinese dinner. No, it wasn't that it was bad, or scary, it just.....wasn't! An empty fortune cookie.... oooooh, what does THAT mean???
