Michael Arrington has affirmed my voicemail habits - I am not alone. I’ve gotten very good at:
a) looking at my missed calls and just calling the person back or
b) hitting 7, 7 within 2 or 3 seconds of listening to a voice mail, deleting it.
This has consequences. My wife now leaves messages like, “Hi Baby, call me please!” instead of 10 second ramblings. Half the time we’ve already spoken and dealt with whatever she wanted to discuss.
