beep record beep..

i have left more messages over the phone in the last one month than i did in the last twenty years back home...

pick up a phone.. dial a number...the phone rings...hope soars cause it s not engaged...continues to ring a couple of times more..hope stays in place..(maybe someone is on the way to the instrument..)..then a click...hope hits the ceiling..a voice..."i am sorry that i am unable to take your call..please leave your name number and a message so that i can return the call as soon as possible.."..beep...

damn...

try to think up of the best way to summarise the reason for calling up..before which another voice says.."I am sorry ..ur message could not be recorded this time..please try again."...beep...

damn..

the learning phase involved patiently listenin to the recorded voice ..waitin for the beep....trying to think up a polite message to leave before the second beep...after a while my creative juices ran out and i could think up of no more original replies..so nowadays ..conversation with the machine primarily involves banging down the receiver before the formless voice prior to the first beep finishes the first word and noting the time the whole call took....

why have answering machines or voice mailboxes...???why do u need to record the caller s voice..?? why cant the urgency be determined on account of the number of missed calls ..??

unless of course the person likes to sit by and listen to the recorded messages he receives and keep playing them back every now and then as a hobby...i dont see the point of havin an answerin machine in the first place...

or why dont people atleast show some originality when they record a message for the caller to listen to...?? give some insight into their personality of sorts...instead of the time tested message all the time..!.hell...i know u are not at home/busy...thats why i am listening to a recorded voice instead..it is the most obvious conclusion a human with an average IQ would reach to......

I guess I have a problem with almost anything and everything.. but then I seem to be having no issues with considering my point of view of being the right one...so that ... pretty much takes care of everything else by itself....
