Did you just voicemail me?

After getting the phone number of a potential interest from a mutual friend I was faced with the do I text or call him dilemma. We had only met briefly at a networking event, so to be honest I wasn't sure if I had left a memorable impression. But there I was, with number in hand...

It felt like high school all over again. You remember, the days when we would get the number, sit in front of the phone, muster the courage to dial the number and cop out right before dialing the last digit? Or how about you would dial the full number and then hang up before someone answered or prayed that you would get the answering machine so you wouldn't have to leave a message? *Hey I'm old. This was before everybody had caller i.d. and answering machines were used to screen calls*

Well after consulting with a few sources I was relieved to find out about a service that would allow me to call this person and get put directly into his voicemail. Like wow... really? It's exactly what I needed in my life. #POW This service should be considered a national treasure. Why was I just finding out about it? And did everyone else but me know that there was an app for it? I am now an avid supporter of this service.

As stated in their advertisement: Many use their service because they are short on time, don't want to bother someone, want to avoid an awkward conversation or when a text message just won't cut it! Yep I'm all over removing awkwardness from my life. I don't need additional opportunities to make a complete ass of myself.
