Am I Really That Bad? Kinda
It has been said (and correctly so) that I never answer my phone and I never return calls.
Is that really true?
Yes, yes it is.
But, am I as bad as people think.
Maybe. Here are the statistics of my cell phone call record.
My cell phone records the last 60 incoming and outgoing calls. These last 60 calls occurred from 12/24/05 – 1/22/06.
Of the 60 calls, 38 were incoming calls. I answered twenty of these calls right away, roughly 53%. For the eighteen calls I initially missed I returned six of the eighteen. The average time it took for me to return these calls was 52 minutes.
One may think, “He only returned six of the missed eighteen calls. That’s pathetic.” Well, if you thought that, you’d be wrong and please don’t call me pathetic.
Of the eighteen missed calls seven were from Jeni. So I don’t need to call her back seven times, once will cover those seven missed calls. Three missed calls were from DJ, two of those concerned one issue and I called him back once. So I still owe him a call back. Dustin called two times about the same topic; so one return call covered his initial call. My parents called three times, I called them back every time and actually answered their initial call once. Bryon called two times and I returned one of his calls, so I owe him one call back as well.
You may be wondering, “Who’s call did I miss the most?” Many people argue I always miss their call, but only one person can truly claim this. Jeni called me seven times. I answered once and returned one of her calls. Apparently I only answer 14.3% of Jeni’s incoming calls. Sorry Jeni.
I still miss a lot of calls (18/38, ~ 47.3 %) but, I almost always return the call, and in a somewhat timely manner. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to answer my cell phone more and to return calls more promptly. I think I’m getting better. I hope I continue to improve. I’m trying my hardest, don’t call me worthless.

I called Andy this morning and he called me back right away.
i'm trying to get a hold of andy now and he hasn't called me back.
sorry jeni, but stats don't lie. you'll have to call 7 times for me to answer once. i don't mean to do this. it's stats.
no, but seriously, you never answer my calls. to your credit, however, you did call me back within an hour the other day. i must say that i was truly impressed and i appreciate the promptness of the call.
thanks dave. i was doing a project. i'm trying harder. sorry i missed your call though.
Andrew always calls me back and right away. Or he just simply answers when he see that it is me.________ Insert Alf quote.
he he "Alf."
dj and alf have a special relationship
