Cellular woes
One of my commissioners must have given someone in the neighborhood my cell number (which I DO NOT hand out to just anyone in the 'hood) and it's gotten out because I've been getting calls left and right today. I have, of course, ignored each and every one where I did not know the person's number (I love caller ID). And no one has bothered leaving a message.
Combine that with some nimrod who keeps calling me, "Did someone at this number call me?" "Um, no, I didn't call you, and this is my number - 202-251-xxxx." "Oh, someone called me from 251-xxx-xyyy." "Well, this isn't area code 251, this is area code 202." "You sure you didn't call me?" "Goodbye!"
I just sent them a pissed off email telling them not to hand out that number, to use my home number instead. Grrr. Last thing I need is the damned cell rining off the hook while at work. Thankfully because of a sore throat (the other reason I wasn't picking up the phone to talk - sore throat = not wanting to talk + pissed off at being ill) and doctor's appointment, I wasn't in the office hearing the buzz-buzz-buzz of the vibrate mode going off.
Grrrr.
