Situation Monday We’ve all been there before.  Your best friend calls, you pick it up, and the sweet melody of pocket lint rubbing the phone receiver responds.  You say hello again.  More pocket lint.  You hear random noises in the background (horns blowing, toilets flushing, babies crying, etc).  It dawns on you that you’ve been called [...]
