And then voicemail. I was in New York last weekend and so I was trying to get in touch with Helen, who is doing a stint in Teach For America there. Her voicemail greeting was the most cheery thing ever. Anyway, she stood me up for a drink, so it's a good thing her message was that exuberant. Or else, grrrr.
I realize that at work, it's necessary to tell people where you are and what you're doing for that day. I just can't bring myself to think that I'm that important. Besides, the really important people all have secretaries, so why do they need the locationally aware greeting?

I dunno.
Mmmm, trenchant.
