Before the national Do Not Call list was enacted, I would receive upwards of 20 calls a week. The transition the week it became law was amazing. I've grown to absolutely LOVE the Do Not Call list, and the relative peace and quiet it affords us. Except for one tiny little problem. For some reason, it doesn't include survey companies. In the last month or so, we've had at least a dozen calls from various survey companies. I'd love to tell you more, but I've never heard more than two or three words after they identify themselves. I don't interrupt, I don't ask them to repeat themselves, and I don't tell them not to call back. I do the only thing I can to make my point. I simply hang up. Maybe, one day, my phone will be mine again.
(There is one exception to this rule - If Zogby is calling, I'll tell them I'm voting for Dean.)
