Voice Mail
----------
Never answer your phone if you have voice mail. People don't call you
just because they want to give you something for nothing - they call
because they want YOU to do work for THEM. That's no way to live. Screen
all your calls through voice mail. If somebody leaves a voice mail
message for you and it sounds like impending work, respond during lunch
hour when you know they're not there - it looks like you're hardworking
and conscientious even though you're being a devious weasel.
