google started doing this thing where it would only send me transcripts and never let me check actual voicemail. i never cared about my voicemail until i could not check it (and google's transcripts always made it sound like everything mundane was an emergency). so i am done. the experiment is over.
i am back to not checking my verizon voicemail.

the start of something different
a few months ago, i read that someone i hate but am facebook friends with got GoogleVoice. without truly knowing what it was, in a petty fit of misguided mini-jealousy, i decided i wanted it and requested an invite. and here we are!
for those of you not in the know - which is most of you, based on my recent conversations - GoogleVoice either generates one phone number for you so that you can be reached on all your phones with one number OR, more elusively, will transcribe your voicemails into emails and txt messages (while also sending you an email with a recording of the voicemail). this blog is about the latter.
