My cell phone rang at work today. Since I’m at work and waiting to hear about a new baby I figured I would bite and answer the phone even though I didn’t know the number. I answered it and this is how the converstation went:
Girl: Do you know where Cambridge Street is in Somerville?
Me: Uhh.. who is this?
Girl: Why does that matter. Do you know where Cambridge Street is in Somerville?
Me: Well, I guess it doesn’t. I don’t know where it is but I could look it up for you.
Girl: You seriously have no idea who this is?
Me: No, but do you want me to look it up.
Girl: You’re an asshole.
Me: If you’re going to be mean I’m not going to help you.
..awkward silence..
Me: If I don’t need to know who you are, I’ll tell you that my name is Eric.
Girl: .. click ..

I do the pre-pay thing. The phone I had before the the one I’ve now: the number had apparantly been recycled and the person who owned it before me was named “Roy.” People of all sorts, including several bill collectors, repeatedly left voice mail for him, as if the young female voice telling them this was Jillian’s phone on my recording didn’t tip them off that Roy was gone. I started calling them back and telling them to leave me alone. The last call I got for Roy was a girl who called herself Angel and who started to cry when I convinced her I had no idea who in the hell Roy was or where he had gone to. That was the last call because she called me at 3 am (waking me up is a no-no) and the next day I went out and bought another damn phone on a different provider.

Just saw your comment on my weight issue. I haven’t really set a timeframe … I do badly with those. I was supposed to have shaped up at least a little by the 30th of this month (SATURDAY! for teh boyfriend’s family reunion he wants me to go to) and here it is the week of and my ass is STILL FAT! Argh! So, I’m planning for mid-June. I want to be ready by the time bathing suit weather really gets here. Not that I ever actually expose my flesh to the sun … I just want to be comfortable with the idea if an oppurtunity convinces me it is necessary. :)
