A friend of mine plans to follow a garbarge truck to determine if their really is any sorting going on.
I drink tap water at home, but they have all these nicely chilled bottles of water at work. But no ice. So if I want cold water, it's bottled. However, this is kind of inconsistent with upper-upper mgmt's new emphasis on greenness, so perhaps that will change.

And my nalgene thing doesn't fit in the water-bottle-holder on the elliptical trainers at the gym. I almost always just refill an old bottle there, though, because I hate paying $1.50 for goddamn water.

Wow. That's the very cut that triggered my [in]famous hair-related compliment to the waitress.

I'm pretty sure I'd do the same thing.

I think Katie... I mean, uh Kate, now bears an uncanny resemblance to Sandra Bullock.

I understand the moral dilemma, but this happens to me at most once every six months or so. I can't imagine having so many that the word "frequently" or "pain in the ass," would be appropriate. Or by "frequently" do you just mean that a high percentage of the few calls you do get are actually wrong numbers?

Why not just buy a water-softener?

Most actual friends call me on my cell phone. Most wrong numbers are on my home phone. By frequently I mean once every couple weeks, on average.

Huh. I've never called the callers back to tell them they have the wrong number. I sort of agree with NFH here. Not really my problem. I say who I am in my message and if you can't be bothered to listen to the message, I can't be bothered to listen to yours. Delete and move on with my life. I don't feel bad about it either.

It happens more frequently shortly after you change your phone number. As both fringey and I have done somewhat recently. Six months ago I was getting at least one erroneous message left on my cell phone every two weeks. It has died off now though.

Paging NFH

On behalf of the board, we formally request that you change your avatar from that batboy abomination. We helpfully suggest you resize the following suggested work:

It's more on my home phone (though I did have someone babbling at me in spanish on my cell yesterday), but I don't have my name on my home phone voicemail. Just the number. Maybe I will change that.
