Google Voice

So, I feel like the most appropriate way of starting this blog would be by explaining Grant's hatred of Google Voice. It came about when I had lost my phone and was waiting on a call from Metolius to see if I was going to receive a job interview. So I came up with this amazing idea to download Google Voice, so that I could receive the message during class and not have to listen to it (since GV would transcribe the message to my email). The only problem with google voice is that it does not transcribe correctly.

For example...here is the message that I was waiting for from Metolius.

Hi Vanessa, this kept from choice, Corning, Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you Yeah, ifyou want to come down and talk to Mike. Scott til you Drop an application off with Michelle, last week.Mike's hiring for a position in the Inspection Department, and I think interviews.

I'm pretty sure the job I was applying for didn't entail "seizures."

So I told Grant about this humorous app I had found and needless to say, he did not like it.

Here are a couple of his messages transcribed...

At one point he did try to go off on a tangent while leaving

me a voicemail but I had called him back to soon and cut him off too early.

Press me to listen!

While leaving this message, Google Voice left me this...

So all in all, I decided to keep GV but only because it annoys Grant so much.

But I do want to make sure that everyone knows that this blog is not just about Grant's rants, occasional input on our lives will be added as well. Even though Ryan Palo has been trying to go out of his way to get Grant to rant more than normal.

Here are some pics from our trip to Tacoma a few weeks ago!
