Either I’m not very good at locking the keys on my phone (likely) or the key sequence to unlock them (hitting left soft-key and star) is too easy to press by accident (also likely). The result is that I’ve been calling my friend Adam a lot and probably waking him up (he lives 8 time zones away) and possibly leaving him messages containing random snippets of my life. Solution? I put a dummy address into my address book (Aaron Aarons) with a number pointing to my own work phone number. Now when I sit down at my desk I can review these messages (usually 3 a week) and relive passages of my life, usually involving shepherding small children around (the words “wait!” and “stop!” figure prominently). It’s like getting postcards from myself! Hearing what you sound like when you’re not aware that you’re being recorded is very strange indeed.
