The Joy Of Watching The Phone Ring Until I Miss The Call
When it comes to the phone, there are also far too many uncertainties. Caller ID is helpful, but it doesn’t take away the fear of that initial ring when we have no clue who is on the other end of the line. We also have no idea how long the discussion will last. We pray it will be as short as it could be, but we also know we have no idea how to end the call smoothly.
We despise phone calls that we know will be full of small talk. If we have to make a call, we just want to get right to the point. We wouldn’t even say hello; we’d just blurt out the plans and hang up. With the introduction of smartphones, our relationship with the phone has become even more complicated. We’re not sure whether we should love our phone and all the magical internet treasures it provides or despise it for the rare occasions when it actually rings.
