Cut to the Chase!

So when I call my cell phone voice mail, I get the following:

"You have three unheard messages." I know that! The little message icon with a 3 on it told me already!

"First unheard message." OK, come on, the tunnel is coming...

"The following message has not been heard." AAAAGH! Just give me the message already!

And THAT, my friend, is why Steve Jobs pushed to include visual voice mail in the new iPhone.

Here's another one for you. A voice mail system that all my clients seem to have makes me wait through this interminable and unnecessary message every time I need to leave a message:

"Your call is being answered by Audix. [Long pause] The person at extension [long pause] 555-5555 is not available at this time. Please leave a message after the tone."

God only knows how much of my life has been wasted waiting for that message to end.

I'm convinced that they are trying to ensure that the quick call to voice mail will last more than 60 seconds so they can round up to two minutes of usage. Grrr....
