We got "upgraded"

[Leith]

1. I got a call that left a message

(if I don't know the caller, I don't answer) about restructuring my student debt.

I don't have any student debt. Never have.

Last month, I got on the no-call list for cell phones. The daily average has dropped steadily since then. Starting Friday, when an unfamiliar number (or "unavailable" ) calls, I will answer, ask their name and who they represent. I will keep asking until they answer my questions. If they do, and don't hang up, I will tell them that I am on the list and filing a complaint. Not that it will do any good, but it sure will feel good to cuss those a-holes out.*

*I can make the crudest person blush. I hold my tongue and fingers around here. I have been harrassed by an average of 12 to 16 unwanted calls per day for months. I'm ready for some payback.
