My parents were quite inconsiderate in the independently wealthy department as well.

And I like reading what you both write. Excellent!

Decorina,

We can’t send messages anymore if the truck is moving. That means every time one of these dingbats sends a message, we’re supposed to immediately pull over and answer them. Like that’s going to happen. They’re just asking for it, really.

Also,we’re not supposed to talk on the cell phone while we’re driving — the perfect excuse to not answer the phone when traveling down the road.

These rules — they just make it too easy.

Ed,

Yep, having once been a good girl, I can attest that being good and obeying all the rules and answering every message had no rewards whatsoever. Hedon tells me I’ve come a long way from where I started. She’s all proud of me now.

I know what you mean – I never gave the company my cell phone number for the same reason. I’d call my dispatcher, but he never gave them my number. It is better that way. Otherwise I may have had to kill night and w/e dispatch because they seemed to be from a frighteningly shallow gene pool themselves.

Decorina,

I have heard you can just get up there and put tin foil or something over the unit and it won’t be able to send, but I never tried it.

Stace didn’t mention that we also turn the ringer off on our phone when we go to bed. Then check the messages when we wake up and call them back if needed. They probably think Verizon is the worst phone system ever. But my thought is ‘Hell, I don’t call you in the middle of your night to ask you stupid questions so you should probably leave me alone, too’ well that’s the cleaned-up PG version of my thought anyway.
