What was amazing about it? In my experience phone calls are composed of ten percent the reason you made the call, ninety percent time-wasting greetings, farewells, and pointless smalltalk.
- tarr11 5y agoI think OP was referring to calling someone for the sole purpose of socializing, which is often a lot of "pointless smalltalk"
- systemvoltage 5y agoI still call my buddies and they call me - spontaneously - I pick up if I am available. No formality. No scheduling. Just pick up the damn phone and chat! Slack added huddles recently to cut the friction to call someone. Phone lines before cell phones used to be like that - just call! Instant voice communication. So much better than text. I feel like I am showing my age now :-)
