On phones
Having a bluetooth-enabled car has a nice feature: when you leave your cellphone on your nightstand, the car tells you before you get very far.
On annoying news, I walked back in the house as Bill Barabino, candidate for Councillor, had his automated phone system wardial our house. Predictably, this woke our 8-month old, who had just gone back down after her morning changing and feeding.
Bill - and, heck, every single individual who thinks that being exempt from the Do Not Call list gives them some special justification to call - we are on that list for a reason. You were going to get my vote, simply because I like voting against the Democrats in Massachusetts. Fortunately for me, there are two independents in your race, one of whom will get my vote.
If for some reason, you think you need to call me, even though I've asked not to be called, at least have the courtesy of wasting some other human's time, and not pit me against a machine. You are, in fact, nothing but a telemarketer.
