ECG: Next year the e-types are happy to call

We have a joint project, my friend Janne and I, and when we talked on the phone earlier this week we discussed how we would proceed. Would we email a person concerned or call?

« You who like to talk on the phone can call, » said Janne and I heard him laugh at the other end of the line.

Sure he is right in his finding, but of course it depends on who I have on the thread. If I talk to Ewa, Gunilla or Elisabeth, it is not uncommon for the conversations to be hour -long, but I can be pretty good at speeding up and ending phone calls even if I’m in that mood.

The lightning is the same. He also likes to talk on the phone, especially when it rings on the home phone.

Not because it rings very often, But it happens a couple of times a week and before the flash (it is usually him) we usually answer what kind of it is calling.

Type A: Anyone who wants to sell a subscription to lotteries?

Type B: Anyone want to get us to donate money to charitable purposes?

Type C: Anyone who wants to offer us free advice in order to get our pension money to last longer?

Type D: Any brokerage assistant who wonders if we are not thinking about moving and offers a valuation of the home – for free also because they happen to have customers who are so interested in moving to our particular house.

The latter is easy to understand After almost 41 years in the same house in Siberia, but we have no plans whatsoever to move.

Recently, I have been thinking about terminating the fixed subscription due to the calls from ABCD, but longer than for thoughts it has not come. It may be good to have an extra line if the mobiles are complaining.

It is in the name of truth not only ABCD calling. I forgot a type: E, representatives from various broadband/telephone companies who want to get us to change subscriptions. They also get the noble because I have agreements that extend a bit into 2026, but I am far from satisfied with the agreement so I intend to change when it expires.

Then the e-types are happy to call. I promise to answer.
