Why couldn't this call be an email? Why would you call, when you know that you are near indistinguishable from spam calls about Microsoft services and Nigerian princes?

Then just don't answer?

With the people who tend to call out of the blue, not answering tends to result in repeated calls, and then when I finally have a chance to call back, usually it should have just been a text.

If the conversation is best had via an actual call, text me and we'll schedule a call. We'll schedule it soon, like "call you in ten minutes" soon, but it's just easier with a little heads up.

If you are calling me without any kind of notice during working hours, somebody better be in the hospital or morgue; if you're calling me without any notice outside of working hours, alcohol better be involved
