On Silencing Our Phones
Voicemail Much Preferred.
We don't even bat our eyelashes anymore when, on the rare occasion of actually calling a friend on our cells, the ringtone goes straight to voicemail (after less than half a dial) to signal that, in fact, there is a person making the deliberate decision not to speak with us. But since we all do it all of the time we can't really blame them and, besides, we don't seriously want them to answer anyway. We called and that's all that matters, and we probably won't do again for, say, at least another six months. But at least we can boast over the next dinner party or happy hour that we're one up on the uneven scale of initiating contact, and that it's their turn to reach out, and, by the way, we probably won't answer because why would we ever want do that? Enjoy!
