Off The Hook

One problem with having a day off and spending most of it around the house is that I need to actively opt to ignore phone spam. I know it's not much of an effort. Actually, I know it's mostly a passive thing -- I just choose to not answer the phone. But I'm here when it rings, damn it, and that makes it actively intrusive.

There're reasons door-to-door salesmen died out...

p.s. -- Eric Schwartz has a cathartically venomous song about this, which (not surprisingly) is not readily available on his website.
