Angel's Landing

On my recent trip to Zion National Park, one of the hikes I went on was Angel's Landing. This was actually the 3rd or 4th time I've done that hike. I love it because it has great views all the way up, and the best view at the end. Also because it is somewhat strenuous and mildly dangerous, so you feel like you've accomplished something when you make it to the top.

Check out the footage below to get a feel for the hike:

Short and Sweet Voice Mail Greeting (Sprint)

When I posted a while back about 10 annoyances, number 3 on the list was:

When I'm trying to leave a voice mail and I have to sit through a long obnoxious automated message, such as "The caller you are attempting to reach is not available. At the tone I will take your message, or press 5 to page this person. Press 6 to leave a call back number. When you are finished with your message, if you are satisfied with your message, press pound, or hang up to deliver the mesage, or press star for more options. [PAUSE...] [PAUSE...] [CALLER COMMITTING SUICIDE...] BEEEEEP!"

I discovered, in my voice mail (which is provided by Sprint), how to eliminate the long automated greeting. Here is how to do it:
  1. Call into your voice mail
  2. Main Menu
  3. Press 3: Change Personal Options
  4. Press 2: Greetings
  5. Press 1: Change Main Greeting
  6. Press 3: Add or remove caller instructions that are played after your greeting
  7. Press 2: Do not want these instructions played

That's it! Together we can make the world less annoying one voice mail greeting at a time! :)
