Kill all voicemail

What is it with all these "just-picked-up-their-bags-and-gone-to-America" types and their voicemail messages? Why cant they just pick up the damn phone?

Ok so first of all, its really annoying that everyone that I pretty much know has absconded halfway around the world...second of all its really irritating that out of this "everyone I know", about a quarter are people that I really care about...

Result: I have noone to whine to over here!

And when I feel the need to have a mid-week crisis whining session (like when I break a nail or get my jeans wet in this neverending rain) and I have to make an ISD call I expect them to bloody well pick up! Who cares if its 2 in the morning for them!!

So this is the scenario: I'm already in this mindf***ed state of mind. Pick up phone. Dial number. Wait with bated breath. Phone rings once...I cant wait to tell M about my rotten week...twice...he will pick up this time at least right? ...thrice...come on come on pick up pick up...four times...i cant believe the ass isnt picking up his phone!after my 40 or so e-mails blasting him about the same thing?...five times...one last chance to redeem yourself M...beep..."Hi, this is M, I cant come to the phone right now yada yada yada...

So I leave a really rude message for the nth time and slam down the phone...follow up with rude e-mail just to make sure the message is received loud and clear...

Hmm...maybe thats why he's not picking up though...
