I was once dating this girl who would insist that I call her as soon as I got home from school.....
Even though I saw her all day at school……….one time we were on the phone for 6 hrs after school, talking about nothing…….
This is when I was in the mindset that I needed to do anything a woman wants in order to try to get in her pants……….of course I didnt get into her pants until 4 years later (long after I broke up with her, moved away, became a jaded a-hole, and treated her like crap when I saw her)
Moral of the story kids………
talking on the phone and being nice to women is the best way to ensure you’ll never get laid.

7 hours
I was talking to this girl I liked for 7 hours one night, until the sun came up. I ran out of battery on both of our cordless phones so I had to go into storage and get our old phone out and switch it out. Woke my aunt up in the process and 4am digging in a box for it. Got yelled at. Never got laid either so I can vouch for Norcal on his theory.

If you'd
gotten off the phone, told her you had a better idea and gone over to the girl’s house, you’d have had a better chance. I know this. I used to be a girl. Now I’m an old lady.
I was a goody-two-shoes and it still would have worked. Probably. Possibly. Much better chance of talking me out of my Bobby Brooks in person than over the phone.

EXACTLY.
I feel for the guys who would talk all night. I did that until I realized my skateboard had wheels and that even the public transportation in Orange County actually works!
Thank you OCTMA for leading me to early sexual encounters with various girls all over the Southern California area during my pre-automobile life.

I was 15 in 1965
and DEEEEEPLY IN LUV with a boy the same age who played baseball at Temple City HS. He would call me and all we’d do is sigh. For half an hour. Until my dad yelled at us to get off the phone (and then Dad would laugh); he liked the boy, just wanted me to watch Twilight Zone with him.
That boy had red hair and freckles and a Honda! He was mobile, oh yes.
His parents hated me, said his math grades had plummeted to a D ever since he met me. My math grades soared to an A-. We spent the better part of that year sneaking around his folks: Drama! Romance! Much Wailing and Tooth-Gnashing! (not to mention total frustration), so much that I’m surprised he didn’t get into my pants but we were pretty young and really chicken. He tried again when we were Seniors and came reeeeaaaaalllly close after a football game (we were both band geeks but totally cute) when his parents were out of town and had left him a car.
Back to baseball.
Snerk.

I HATE talking on the Phone. I call someone and get straight to the point then hang up.
The longest conversation on the Phone I’ve had was 48minutes and I was freakin dieing. Even thought the conversation was kinda interesting (some girl I had been talkin too) I just cant stand talking on the phone. I’d rather do it face to face.
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am totally the same way. Five minute phone calls are generally the limit. Hate talking on the phone.
However, I have had long phone calls with my older sister discussing our individual pending divorces as I recall.

See when its something important like that I would be able to too.
but ya, 5 minutes is enought to say what you have to say.

Do you yell something about K-Mo and then hang up, usually?

lol I was just messing… this place needs a good laugh other than the Angels bullpen of late, so yeah…
Seriously though, ever since watching the Married With Children episode where Al calls one, only to find out it’s his fat mother-in-law (living upstairs at the time), I’ve always been scared to call. Plus, I already have someone, so yeah….

I was thinking he either had a lot of stamina to stay on that long, or he was trying
desperately to overcome complete impotence.

I cannot imagine not being the ultimate loser of this topic.
72 hours. World-wide con call.
24 hours leading up to, then 24 hours going through, then 24 hours monitoring the after effects of, Y2K.
As Director of IT Operations, the only times I was not personally on the call were the pair of 6 hour windows that I slept, but my phone was still on the bridge while being charged. And I even dragged my family into downtown LA to join me, staying on the call while I drove.
Yeah. Computers are sexy.
We don't have a Bullpen. We have a Cowpen. Before we get to call it a Bullpen these guys gotta grow a pair.
You beat me.
My 4 hour concall was with Lockheed Martin… it was to discuss technical issues, but they wound up trying to do design on this one piece of code… meanwhile, the rest of us were bored off our asses.

Yes, but he's on first, not pitching. Tomorrow's catching.

hmmph. Peavy is a “0.500” pitcher (if record means something to you).
I love this team.

Peavy sidelined for one month with an ankle injury
The time is out of joint; oh cursed spite, that ever I was born to set it right.

Bummer…I was looking forward to the Saunders-Peavy matchup. Now it’ll end up 11-10; choose the winner.
I love this team.

Oh bloody hell...
…I am working on projects for the former owner of the Angels.
I have had these mind-numbing, brain-cell wrecking, stoopid, booring-a-thon phone calls that have lasted up to 3 hours. I just can’t stand to hear incompetent farts drone on for minutes/hours about what they don’t comprehend. To the competent, filibusters = incompetence.
It’s a good thing I have a mute button on my phone…otherwise they would hear;
1) 4 letter fortified rants against the incompetent filibusterers.
2) Hysterical laughter at stoopid statements.
3) The crack of my head on the desk after falling asleep.
On the good side, I have been able to write comments on Halos Heaven during some of these calls, so it’s not all bad!
Those guys do NOT have a stellar reputation inside the computer industry, either.
“the former owner of the Angels”, that is…
We don't have a Bullpen. We have a Cowpen. Before we get to call it a Bullpen these guys gotta grow a pair.
I have been working on projects for them now for 2 years (a total now of 7 projects)...
…their department heads are generally sharp & knowledgeable. But they delegate and trust a lot of decision-making to relatively young and inexperienced personnel that seem to be hired based solely upon their lack of common sense. It makes for…um…interesting project developments.
I am thankful for e-mail & meeting minutes (that I insist on writing and they are happy to oblige) to leave a document trail. It makes the project close-out “negotiations” so much easier.
lol.....
“what would ya say………..you do here?”

I swear...
…Scott Adams (Dilbert) HAD to have worked for the former owner of the Angels at one time or another. He perfectly captures the essence of their culture (although I have seen similar “cultures” in other large companies).
“hired based solely upon their lack of common sense”
and
because they are cheap. And disposable.
I have a client that insists on NO paper trails so as to avoid liability at all costs. total Avoidance Of Blame culture. I honestly cannot understand how they keep the lights on. And they are an extremely well known hospital system.
