Apparently our toll free number was the same as some government insurance division in Conneticut, so they'd call when it opened--at 9 Eastern time. Grrr. Also, they never accepted that we simply didn't know how to reach the right people... being in another country and all. : )Emily, Ruby Slipper Journeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071938485961109157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397334331072386353.post-12748432001879398882011-06-06T01:38:51.392-04:002011-06-06T01:38:51.392-04:00Just yesterday, I was thinking aloud on this.We we...Just yesterday, I was thinking aloud on this.We were all sitting and talking at home,and then the telephone started, incessant rings one after another.The truth was that none of the calls were of any purpose.<br />I make it a point to switch off my mobile after I reach home.dr.antonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191095888228061156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397334331072386353.post-37092570054583386172011-06-05T09:54:19.686-04:002011-06-05T09:54:19.686-04:00thanks boss:)thanks boss:)R.

Anything can happen in just a split of a second.<br />I also hate to see people chatting with their friends in buses and trains for hours together, sending messages and so on. I think people have become crazy, they act as if they cannot live without their cell phones, when we come from a country, where having a land line itself was a big luxury some years back.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397334331072386353.post-16489212701338967282011-06-03T00:44:34.868-04:002011-06-03T00:44:34.868-04:00All i can say is that life was way more simple whe...All i can say is that life was way more simple when the dreaded mobile phone was not around :-)Bhargavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11532498932030700441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397334331072386353.post-88315097848243880072011-06-02T22:57:00.213-04:002011-06-02T22:57:00.213-04:00The comment box is friendly today it seems.The comment box is friendly today it seems.Kavita Sahariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342095914702911870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397334331072386353.post-3778520478979372142011-06-02T12:55:40.358-04:002011-06-02T12:55:40.358-04:00our friends here have left nothing much else to sa...our friends here have left nothing much else to say..so here goes: gr8 post buddyR.

Isnt it?<br /><br />I have so many incidents to quote. The best one was at work. We had a meeting and the phone in the conference room rang. It was an outside call. We put the phone on speaker. It was from a consultant. She was actually trying to find a candidate to attend an interview. But the fun doesnt end there. Guess which company? Ours!! One of us politely mentioned that we were not interested and she was asking for friend's reference. <br /><br />They just get hold of a company's bridge number and add random numbers to the extension to reach out to people.Insigniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819054091062923489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397334331072386353.post-15081957566923234142011-06-01T23:13:24.899-04:002011-06-01T23:13:24.899-04:00I usually attend all the calls but if I am busy wi...I usually attend all the calls but if I am busy with some important job then I call the person later seeing the miss call.
