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.

"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.
