Can I say that I hate phones? I find them very frustrating because so much context is lost. Even normal vocal inflections can be missed, because the 4KHz bandwidth loses high and low tones. I have to work really hard while listening on the phone; much harder, in fact, than I would talking to someone in person (even if I'm not looking at that person). I also happen to think that this is one reason that cell phones are so distracting to people who use them while driving.
The other thing I hate is when people don't call you back after saying that they will...
Posted by Aubrey at May 5, 2003 08:33 PM | TrackBackI understand the feeling when people don't call back. It has already happened to me twice today.
Now I need to go work on more papers and save Spooky from her stalker who called from somewhere on campus tonight...
Posted by: Bitter Bitch at May 5, 2003 09:22 PMYep. And you don't want to call yet again and be seen as bothersome. :)
As for Spooky, that sounds kind of worrysome. It's too bad that the silly college doesn't allow you any self-protection devices. If nothing else, it'd probably discourage the average stalker.
