Steady Improvement With My Cellular Telephone
I’m desperately trying to hang on to one of my New Year’s Resolution.
The swearing one went out real f**king early. The eating healthy resolution…well, I just got done eating a turkey and cheese sandwich with a Mountain Dew and Nacho Doritos. Later I’ll have some Peanut M&M’s. So that isn’t going so well. My plan to curb my road rage kinda ended with the swearing resolution.
So all I’m left with is answering my phone and calling people back. Last time I wrote about my cell phone was in January and I was doing all right with returning calls. Now two months I think I have been making progress. Hooray for school! Hooray for me!
Here are the stats of my last 60 in-coming and out-going calls:
I’ve called 20 people and answered 20/40 calls on the first call. Out of the 20 I’ve missed, I’ve returned the call within the same day only six times. Now that doesn’t sound like a lot but let’s look at the reasons why I didn’t return all of those calls.
1. DJ called several times in the same day, two times from his cell and once from Waldenbooks about going out on St. Patrick’s Day. Henceforth, only one call had to be returned.
2. Dustin called two times on 3/16/06, the start of the NCAA Tournament to remind me about meeting at Sports to watch some of the games. Both of Dustin’s calls and DJ’s calls were made while I was working. I just couldn’t answer the phone. I was with patients.
3. Dr. Saad called early Thursday morning to tell me to come in later because he was on call the night before and still hadn’t completed the patient list. I met with him all day Thursday; so calling him back wasn’t that necessary.
4. Jeni called me once while we were together. She was getting her haircut and I was studying at Barnes and Noble. She wanted to know where I was but she saw me as she was talking on the phone. Why would I have to call her back?
5. Finally, my parents called me four times on 3/18/06 (5.17, 6.32, 6.41, 6.42 pm) and twice on 3/19/06 (12.38 and 1.03 pm) all concerning the same topic. I didn’t have my cell phone Saturday for a while and I was running on Sunday when they called. I called back shortly after my run and discussed the six calls I had missed. One call was sufficient to cover all of them.
When all of these missed calls are taken into consideration I just about returned every call. Sorry Paff, I missed yours. I am going to that concert and I’ll call you about it.
I answer almost all of Bryon’s calls, an improvement from last time when he was the person’s call I missed the most. Dave was number two on my list of frequent missed calls. I answered him the only time he called. Good for me.
Steady improvement. I’m pleased. Now if I can get my gersh dern swearing under control and stop eating sh*t. Oops.

Ha ha.
Now, if you could break out some stats on text messaging, that would be impressive. You always answer your text messages.
It is funny, if I looked at my 60 most recent calls, it would date back to probably November. I don't get a lot of callas and I don't make a lot of calls. Thats why they call me a loser.
i don't call you a loser. as a matter of fact you're a winner as you noted in your last post about nailing threes to win games. you rule. i drool
I think I got 1 call in the past week and it was someone who dialed the wrong number.
i called you the night we went to detroit. i also missed one of your calls, but answered the other one.
i'll call you and we can make-out via cellular telephones....or not.
indeed. I reported the data in a way that made me look like a nerd. your call was not in the past week. I suppose I could have said that I got 2 calls in the past two weeks, but that might make me look popular.
incorrect dialing makes up about 5% of my incoming calls. I try to keep them on the line, but they are always in a hurry to go, once they realize they have the wrong number. what's the rush?
rice cakes are bland.
mmm...lumpy, oatmeal cereal.
buttsteak rules!
