Killing My Voice Mail
Well, I finally did what I should have done about four years ago, which is to change my cell phone voice mail message to this:
Hi, this is John Scalzi. I will never ever ever ever listen to the voice mail you're about to leave, because voice mail is a pain in the ass. So if you actually want to reach me, you can either send me a text at this number, or send me e-mail at "john@scalzi.com." Feel free to leave a voice message if you want, but remember, I will never ever listen to it.
Some days, I feel exactly like this.... sigh
Ha! I quit answering my phone over a year ago and quit checking my voicemail six months ago. How dare I! And yet, life continues. I really should use this voicemail message.
Hi, this is M. This is M’s voicemail to be exact. If you know M, then email her. If you don’t know her email, then you don’t know M. Have a great day!
That is exactly what I’m going to put on my voicemail – thanks!!
