Did you ever wonder how much time we waste after we hear the recording say, "If you know your party's extension....wait for the beep"? Seven seconds here, eight seconds there. After you stop and think about it, those seconds really add up.
I found a book many years ago entitled "Life's Little Instruction Booklet" and each page had one instruction on it; things like "over tip breakfast waitresses", or "always buy whatever kids are selling when they knock on your door".
Some years later, I found a poster with many of these on it and it hangs in my house to this day...
I prefer to text, not talk. (I know, that's kinda lame for an air-personality. It would be like putting satellite radio in my car!)
What I think of most, are my youngest kids. I'm around them quite a bit and they can't even begin to think of a day without texting...
