My mechanic loves me...according to Google Voice.

My mechanic loves me, or at least he called me “my love” on the Google Voice Mail text message on my cell phone.  I haven't told my husband yet.  My mechanic also said he was "resolved to get a call back" and that my car was “the same kind of dead” it was last time. What a garbled mess.  Especially considering the fact that there is almost nothing wrong with my car. 

For those who don't know.  Google Voice is "voice mail" for your phone that turns voice messages into text so that you scan them quickly and decide whether you need to return the calls, without listening to someone's unnecessarily long-winded message.  It's in invitation-only Beta.  You can get an invitation by Googling 'google voice'.  So it's really not that exclusive. There's more to it than this, like getting a google phone number, etc. Google probably calls it Google phone service. Look it up yourself. 

And to think I’ve been dying for a Star Trek-like universal translator.  With one tap of a button, your Chinese becomes my English.  Despite the garble, I’m optimistic that we’ll have a universal translator in my life time and will keep the Google Voice message service.
