John (agreeing with Phil) comments that the unscheduled phone call is dead.

I (almost) disagree. The unscheduled social call is welcome. When my sister called me this morning, it was welcome.

The unscheduled WORK call is rude. I agree. I get one or two unscheduled "work" calls every day. Until now - I couldn't put my finger on it. I think to myself - as I discover during the first few seconds - who it is and why they called me .. "why didn't you just send me an e-mail so we could schedule a call?"
