Technology

I love technology. But sometimes it’s less than effective.

I use Google Voice to transcribe my voice mail messages and email them to me. I tried it years ago when it was first introduced and stopped because the transcription wasn’t that good. A few weeks ago I decided to give it another go.

Today I received this message from Greg:
I do gimme call a couple of minutes. Bless you and get the blackboard parking spot, but park with spot that You just tried. Anyway bye bye.

Fortunately it also give you an opportunity to just play the message. The message, roughly, was, “Hey, give me a call in the next couple of minutes. I’m going to have to depart for Wichita shortly.”

This was his second call to me – the first one still hasn’t arrived thirty minutes after the second one was placed.

I was taking out the trash and missed my opportunity for a Wichita trip. Oh well, I guess it wasn’t meant to be. At least Google Voice provided a good laugh..
