I got an email about a month ago saying that the annual phonathon was starting up again, and that it really does make the student's day to get an alumni contribution, I took immediate action. I mean I could just hear the crestfall on the other side of the line when I declined to fund initiatives that are transforming my beloved Alma mater. And no one wants to hear that. So I looked up the phonathon number and saved it in my phone under "St Mary's phonathon- DON'T ANSWER!" and promptly forgot all about it.
Until recently when my phone rang and I looked to see who was calling... Bam, no more depressed students, giving away perfectly good money, or talking on the phone. Win-freaking-win. So I guess you have to ask yourself, am I a bad man? Or are you just jealous you didn't think of it first?
