That said, there are times I much prefer talking to typing. However, I will sing the praises of Caller ID forever. For less than half the price of one visit to the shrink, I get a year's worth of choosing when I want to talk to my mom -- or anyone else for that matter. When I was a teenager, I loved knowing the phone was for me. 25 naked years later, when the phone rings, I find myself asking, naked from the comfort of my ergonomic chair, "who the fuck it that?" As you can imagine, I have to work fast to make my voice remotely pleasant, as if I truly adored every caller who might be a potential client. Perhaps I should resolve not to have such hostility toward inanimate objects such as telephones or cable hookups. Then again, I am not the one in four people in my demographic group who makes resolutions. Posted by: alice, uptown | 2004.12.31 at 11:39 AM Yep, I'm with you on the hug thing. And maybe I should start to answer the phone when my mother in law calls instead of handing the phone to my husband saying in the most innocent voice I can conjer up "I didn't get to it quick enough."
