Really... I just need to vent...

7 - 8 pm is prime calling time for the people who call with the recorded messages about how we should sign up for a different mortgage.

YES we're on the do not call lists, and I know those exempt the charity and political calls (which we also get), but why the hell are we always getting calls at this time to readjust our mortgage?

It's gotten so I don't even answer our home phone in the evening. Maybe I will use that .wav file idea.

Can I have a copy of the wav file too?

My school has two list for the automated calls - "students/parents only" and "everyone". They should be able to format it so that the Tuesday night calls just go to students/parents. Seems they are being a bit uncooperative.

V - I would be upset too. I don't care if you're sleeping, playing on the interwebs or whatever. A person has a right to not be disturbed if that is their wish.

What kind of info is he passing on to the students every week on Tuesday that can't be shared with the kids in school? I'm just wondering if the students/families ignore the calls also....if so, when a real emergency comes, they may not listen to the message???

It's all about attendance. Every Wednesday is an early release day and parents don't pick their kids up on time. He does add in other things, PTA meetings and fund raising information.

I'm sure many families ignore the calls. But it's much easier to do this blanket announcement, rather than just deal with the parents who consistently pick their kids up late.
