Yes, I am aware that it's November now. But look how fast we carved our pumpkins! The key to enjoying this to the fullest degree is watching one person at a time. Especially Sam.

Look here.

The Telephone, Part 2

We already established last year that the telephone is a ridiculously outdated and annoying piece of technology that is to be avoided at all costs. We, as sentient, non-cave-dwelling beings, realize that asynchronous electronic communications are far superior.

But we have come to the sad conclusion that some people don't respond to emails. Sometimes we can't afford to wait. As much as it pains me to say it, the fact that some people do not regard email as a legitimate form of communication forces an otherwise rational person to call someone on the phone. After the sixth email of asking someone to do something with no response, one must consider imposing on the peace of someone's day. And even more horrifically, sometimes that recipient of the call will not answer, and after you leave a message on voicemail, you have to wait in fear by your phone for that person to call back, which will come at the scientifically-calibrated-to-be-the-worst possible time. What is a user of modern communications technology to do?

I don't know. That is why I am depending on you for answers.
