A Waste of Time

My husband and I manage an apartment complex. Our apartment is also the office, so our own home phone is actually the apartment phone as well. This becomes difficult, especially when expecting a call. Luckily we have Caller ID, but that only works for about half of the calls. I keep telling my husband to just resist the urge to answer the phone when he is home and let the voice-mail pick it up. Today I haven't been very good at taking my own advice, and I have spoken to several telemarketers. Consequently I have wasted some perfectly good time I could have spent doing anything else. This reminds me of a quote from a Simpson's episode, "You wasted 15 minutes of my life and I want it back...Oh, I would have just wasted it anyway."
