Geeze, this idea is very WIBNI perhaps, but "it could work after all" (ICWAAIT) I think. Really, it just requires a database that you have to fill out telling it the when and who.
I would like to get wake-up calls inviting me to come back to the local strip clubs sometime between the hours of X and
X+1 in the morning. Most likely I would respectfully decline this offer 6 out of 7 times (if not 13 out of 14 times), but it would be nice to have that kind of advertising in the morning anyway, to start my days off knowing that the strippers are thinking of me and wanting my money, and are also waking me up in the morning which is an added bonus.
Then, of course, maybe the local resteraunts could call you around lunch-time and tell you what kinds of specials they have, just so you don't have to go sit down to find that out. Maybe they could have an automated call thing that calls you and leaves a very short message such as "Today's special is Arbies Roast Beef 5 for 5, KFC's Twister Combo, Dennies Soups and Salads, and Subway's Ham and Turkey, goodbye!"
Finally, I would like to get calls when I'm sitting in rush hour traffic telling me what is on the TV that is worth watching tonight, kind of like TV Tivo Calls or something. Of course, I'd probably decline their offers most of the time, but it would be nice to know what's on the tube that I like to watch before I get home and turn it on.

I can understand the desire to get through the day due to impending tedium and stress, but i also feel this is like wishing your life away, and i can think of a way round that. In addition to the prospect of future pleasure, could there also be 'phone calls offering positive reminiscences and personal nostalgia? That way, you'd be living in the past and the future and it would be more balanced. |

In the case that you're married or have a girlfriend, simply tell them that you want to be placed on the "I have a girlfriend list," and I'm sure they'll understand since they regularly talk to you for 5 minutes every morning anyhow. However, if you are on their please call me in the morning list, it's proper ettiquite to actually "tip" them on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, since that's how they earn their money for calling you in such a predictable and reliable fashion every morning. |

I'm sure that conversation would be like, "Wake up and get to work on time today, oh, and by the way, it was fun with you last time and you make me want to do it again every single day because you're hot stuff. Do you have a girlfriend yet? If not, then you are always free to come by my workplace whenever you want. Goodbye you stud, you sexy genius." |

Solicited spam wouldn't alleviate the loneliness. Not for long anyway. |

[+] I personally wouldn't use this but it would be great for people who are lonely and want someone to call them. This would have been useful in the early to mid 90's when cell phones started to get cheap. Having a cell phone might have made you look important but someone CALLING YOU on your cell made you seem even more important. |
