Subject: voicemail update



I didn't get very far with my friend at Octel.
When I complained about empty messages, he suggested that
I make my recorded greeting longer so callers would have more
time to hang up. I guess "user friendly" hasn't made it to 
the voicemail industry yet.

I did learn a new slang verb, however. In Octel-speak,
to "337" something is to tune out before you finish hearing
the argument. If comes from the code for fast-forwarding 
to the end of a voicemail message (33) and deleting it (7).
