missy :unverified:just changed my voicemail to “sorry i missed your call. please hang up and text like a normal person.”
imbou@missy_lynn I’m 52 years old and I had my first cell when I was 14 so that’s almost 40 years of cellphones. I hate all of you that won’t answer the damn phone (not really but it’s very drsmstoc to say it 😂) I will call people anyway and yeah I will text if you don’t answer. 😂😂😂 I like calling and I like talking to people and I like solving in 30 seconds what could take hours of texting. Sorry not sorry but not angry either. 😛

I used to answer the phone, but too many years of "solving it in 30 seconds" turning into "I never said that" means I want it in writing!
Yes, I answer the phone when my mother calls (well, mostly butt dials), but not my boss.

@deirdrebeth @missy_lynn If have an important conversation that involves agreements, I will surmmarize it in an email to avoid problems. Most people today don’t answer any mode of communication email, text it’s an avoidance meachanism, plain and simple. I am in sales and recently I spent two months trading messages for a deal, one phone call and the deal closed. This is not uncommon. Talking is effective and I also like talking to people, even my boss!
Trev HunterThere's a good principle in good API design that can have a human parallel here. "Be open and flexible in what and how you receive information, but be consistent in how you give information".
By being less restrictive in our input channels (email, text, voice, whatever), we can be more inclusive, while at the same time helping to be consistent in how we respond.
@binaryrefinery @missy_lynn absolutely excellent analogy indeed!!!!
