Ms. Carter, I don't know you, but as of late I have become your message service.
I have had my cell phone number for the past three years. I don't know why it is that this past week, you've suddenly become a very popular person to reach via my cell phone.
Monday morning, a gentleman called for you and left a message that you needed to contact him within 24 hours, or something would "attach" and your account would go to collections. Guess you didn't get that message. It's probably too late for you, but if you want to salvage your credit and maybe, you know, avoid getting a default judgment, you may want to call 208-403-5457. So sorry the bankruptcy laws changed in October of 2005.
Later that same morning, Fremont County School District (208-402-3112) called regarding your application. Did you really put my cell number on your resume? You should probably update your resume so you can get a job and pay off that debt (see above paragraph).
Then I got a call from "Rick" at 208-624-7549. He seemed incredulous when I told him that I was not you, and I asserted more than once that he had the wrong number. He apologized and we ended the conversation.
Then, Rick, you called me again today from a different number, 208-624-7591. Did you think you'd get a different outcome if you called from a different number? Didya, Rick? You defended your action by stating that you got my phone number from Sara Carter's parents. I promise you, if you try it a third time, you won't magically reach Sara. And I may not be so civil to you again.

frustrating! Around here we have the same pre-fixes as a city 2 hours from here and so they were linking into our area... Our cell phone company now requires that we use the state code before the local # so the mix up doesn't happen anymore. CRAZY! That there are SOOO many cell phones out there that they have to do that! I mean seriously to call my neighbor in teh same town we have to use the WHOLE 10 digit number! :)
This is funny (but frustrating, I imagine!). I always give a wrong number when applying for things I don't want to receive calls from, so maybe after reading this and imaging there must a really annoyed guy receiving calls for a certain "Manuel" I should change my ways...
I meant "Imagining." Sorry.
So I have the same problem someone in Rexburg or IF named Jessica gives my number out as a fake number. So I get different guys calling all the time asking for Jessica. In Alabama I got a big venomous text about how some girl didn't want Jessica's brother to hit on her anymore and could I please tell him that. So I responded that I wasn't Jessica and if she saw her to tell her to stop giving people my number as her fake number. It stopped for a while and then recently seems to be happening again if I ever meet Jessica I'm going to give her a piece of my mind.
I was laughing out laughing out loud reading your entry....brought back some fond memories. Keep me updated in the Rick and Sara saga...Its like your own personal soap opera.
sorry I didn't mean to repeat myself and emphasise "laughing out loud", I keep getting interrupted by my boys...tying shoes, getting a drink of water...so I forgot to back track....
What a pain! I can confirm that the one Rick that I knew is about as intelligent as a slug! unfortunately you'll probably still get calls. Make sure you send Ms Carter a bill for your answering services! :)
We regularly got phone calls (at 3am mind you) from a drunk guy speaking Spanish, in broken english he asked, are you sure? (as in am I sure he had the wrong number?) Um, yeah, pretty sure considering we don't even speak the same language!
Then a few weeks ago my mom got a call for the family that had their phone number before us, keep in mind they have never changed their home number since moving here 15 years ago!!!
But my favorite is when people call and yell at my answering machine for not being open during business hours and ripping on my recording for being difficult to understand (it was my girls talking for a while) All I have to say to that women is TRY CALLING THE RIGHT PHONE NUMBER we are a FAMILY NOT A BUSINESS and if I don't feel like answering the phone mid poopy diaper changing I don't have to!!!!
Okay, so enough about me, your blog post (actually all of them) is so funny!!
