    On "The Weakest Link", it's so stupid you have to wait for the question to be done before answering.

    I'm sitting on the phone surfing beyond/facebook, and get 2 voicemails from 2 government agencies...

    Phone didn't ring.

    Is there like a backdoor system in the telus/bell network that lets them dial straight to voicemail?

    Both of them - no way to call back, call center numbers left - no way to get transferred to them. So put in another callback request and wait.

    But while I'm trying to call them back I can receive the calls from Canada post then intelcom to buzz into the building...

    I really want to know how they're managing to not have my phone ring and go straight to voicemail...

    People who see something on Pinterest and now figure their very not custom el cheapo plain Jane cabinets should be like the custom stuff they like on Pinterest - ffs, pony up and pay for the custom shit in the first place. Your hacked up el cheapo cabinetry is never gonna look like the expensive custom made stuff and then you're annoyed it's not. That's this afternoon's job, gonna pull another couple of rabbits out of my ass just to make some cheap ass Karen happy. Ugh.

    ^^ do you have any numbers blocked? Anytime i get an automated call from the "legal department of service Canada" or something similar, i block the number which then results in an auto voicemail.

    Nope, only one number blocked, and that's definitely not governmental

    You can definitely send voicemail without calling. Just go into your own voicemail and press whatever it says to "send a message".

    I miss calls routinely for no reason. Always assume the network just diverts to the voicemail for whatever kind of "ghost in the machine" type reasons.

    My favourite feature on my phone is the silence unknown numbers feature.

    Even better when it screens calls from my coworkers and in laws

    Maybe I'm just imagining it, but these 2 impossible to talk to anyone agencies are the 2 that I consistently get these mysterious straight to voicemail results from. Where they may as well not have left a voicemail because there's no way to call them back...

    I have Telus call control enabled. Auto screens calls by prompting them to press a number to get through. Maybe you have something like that enabled by accident?

    I think that is only for home phones. Only old people have home phones.

    Well, there weren't enough rabbits up my ass to address Karen's issues - while she and her husband did sign off on everything in their new home with the builder, now they want to make changes and everyone else is supposed to pay for it even though they accepted the home as built. Again, ugh, and yes, pulling rabbits out of my ass doesn't feel all that great after a while.

    Out driving around today along Memorial westbound and I hit both red lights that are by the Peace Bridge. No one was crossing, no cars were coming from the side roads, just red lights. So frustrating!!!

    I'm sure this happens all over the city, but this was my specific experience today.

    with the drop in office traffic downtown, walking around wearing a decent shirt really amps up the volume of "urban adventurers" who want to chat with me.
