Slymail?
There is a new service youi can get called slymail which connects you directly to a person's voicemail, guaranteed they won't actually pick up themselves in person. So theoretically, you could call your husband and say, "The last 16 years were great but I'm outta here now with a divorce. Have a nice day!" I have very mixed feelings about slymail, because let's say the person you call knows they were available to answer their phone at the time that you called, so it is obvious to them you used slymail. They might be insulted, and perhaps rightly so! I have to admit, though, it is tempting! Let's say a friend calls you and asks you out for dinner Saturday night. You know you are not available, so you slymail them back and say so, avoiding a conversation with them. Are we all really that busy? Is this a great modern convenience or just one more symptom that we are all moving too fast? What do you think?
