drowning in silence

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.
